New York, United States, Dec. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Licorice is made from the liquorice plant's roots, a medicinal plant. Extracts from the origins of the liquorice plant are aromatic and sweet. A component in licorice root called glycyrrhizin can be harmful if ingested in large doses. Licorice has been found to have substances that reduce inflammation, ease coughing, and help the body's mechanisms for healing ulcers. Licorice plants can be found in their natural environments throughout Southern Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. One of the primary sources of sweetness in licorice extracts is glycyrrhizin, which is between 30 and 50 times sweeter than sugar. Heartburn, acid reflux, and upset stomach are gastrointestinal symptoms that licorice extract is widely used to treat. In addition to Iraq, licorice is frequently grown in Afghanistan, India, China, Italy, Iran, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Turkey. The tobacco, cosmetics, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and beauty sectors make substantial use of it.
The usage of licorice extract in cosmetics is growing due to consumer concern about their appearance and the increasing need for modern cosmetic goods that are secure, efficient, and have alluring sensory qualities. Furthermore, there is a growing market for natural clean label items worldwide, but it is firm in the US, the EU-5, China, Japan, and Australia. Licorice extracts are now used in cosmetics due to the anti-inflammatory and skin-lightening properties of the plant. Active licorice extracts are used in cosmetic formulations to control flushing, redness, and other skin inflammations by obstructing the skin inflammation signaling pathway. Licorice extracts also aid in skin lightening because they include glabridin, an antioxidant that prevents the enzyme tyrosinase from producing pigmentation due to sun exposure.
