Functions

Skin Conditioning

A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

Locks in moisture

Traditional Use

Extracted from licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), a plant used for over 3,000 years in Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese, and Greek medicine for skin inflammation and irritation. The potassium salt was developed to enhance stability and solubility in cosmetic formulations.
