Description

Licorice Chalcone is a naturally occurring flavonoid compound found in the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra (commonly known as licorice). Revered as the “King of Harmony” in traditional formulations, licorice has been used for centuries in both Eastern and Western medicine to balance and enhance the effects of other ingredients. Today, modern science has validated the unique bioactive profile of Licorice Chalcone, unveiling its broad-spectrum health and cosmetic benefits.
This extract exhibits exceptional anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and skin-whitening properties. It regulates melanin synthesis, soothes skin irritation, inhibits lipid peroxidation, and enhances overall cellular vitality. Beyond cosmetics, Licorice Chalcone is also valued in functional foods, animal nutrition, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceutical formulations for its multiple physiological benefits.
