Harness the “Luminosity Legend” power of Glycyrrhiza Glabra to visibly fade stubborn discolouration and calm a stressed-out surface. By acting as a gentle complexion equaliser and redness reducer, it transforms a patchy, irritated appearance into a state of serene, radiant clarity.
Licorice Root Extract is a potent botanical “Luminosity Legend,” sourced and processed to ensure high concentrations of Liquiritin and Glabridin—the key molecules responsible for its skin-evening and calming abilities.
The power of Licorice Root lies in its ability to intercept the signals that lead to an uneven skin tone. While some ingredients focus solely on exfoliation, Licorice Root works deeper to prevent the appearance of dark spots while simultaneously acting as a biological “off-switch” for surface irritation.
The Science: This molecule offers powerful anti-inflammatory properties that regulate the skin’s oil production and soothe redness.
The Translation: It is a “Redness Relaxer.” It’s the sensible friend that steps in during a Queensland summer to quieten down heat-induced irritation and keep the surface feeling comfortable.

No. Unlike some “brightening” acids, Licorice Root Extract is not photosensitising. In fact, its antioxidant properties help the skin defend itself against the look of UV-induced oxidative stress, though you should always follow with your daily SPF.
Absolutely. Because it is naturally rich in soothing compounds, it is often used specifically to help sensitive skin profiles achieve a more even-toned look without the “stinging” sensation common with high-strength actives.
The CIR Expert Panel and TGA guidelines identify Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract as safe for cosmetic use. It is widely celebrated in the Highfields lab as a highly stable, non-irritating botanical active suitable for all skin types, especially those prone to redness or uneven tone.
