Glycyrrhizin: The Gold Standard for Whitening
Glycyrrhizin is a potent flavonoid compound extracted from the root of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), renowned as the "gold standard for whitening" due to its comprehensive and highly effective skincare benefits. It is a sought-after functional ingredient in high-end cosmetics and skincare formulations.
Main Benefits
• Powerful Whitening and Melanin Reduction: Glycyrrhizin significantly reduces dark spots and pigmentation by powerfully inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase (a key enzyme in melanin production).
• Excellent Antioxidant Protection: Glycyrrhizin possesses powerful free radical scavenging properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage.
• Outstanding Efficacy: In vitro studies have shown that glycyrrhizin's inhibitory effect on tyrosinase is 232 times that of Vitamin C and 1164 times that of kojic acid glucoside, highlighting its powerful whitening effects.
