Liquorice Root Glycerite (Glycyrrhiza Glabra Radix Extract) - Essentially Natural

<p>
Liquorice Root Glycerite is an alcohol-free botanical extract made from peeled
<em>Glycyrrhiza glabra</em>
root in a base of vegetable glycerine and purified water. This water-soluble extract is used in calming, clarifying
and brightening-style skincare formulations that support the appearance of comfortable, clear and more even-toned
skin. It contains naturally occurring liquorice root constituents, including glycyrrhizin, and is suitable for adding
to the water phase or cool-down phase of compatible cosmetic formulas. It is a concentrated formulation ingredient,
not a finished skincare product intended for undiluted use.
</p>
<p>
♡ Why we love it: This glycerite offers the traditional skincare benefits of liquorice root in a gentle, alcohol-free
format. Its water-soluble base makes it easy to incorporate into serums, gels, toners, masks and lotions for
sensitive-feeling or uneven-looking skin.
