Licorice Flower Extract – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Licorice Flower Extract serves as a Biological Routine Buffer. Unlike the root (which focuses on enzyme inhibition) or the oil (which focuses on the lipid seal), the flower extract focuses on Surface Equilibrium. It targets the "micro-sting" threshold—the point at which wind, heat, or friction turns into visible redness. In an era of high-intensity "skin cycling," this extract provides the necessary baseline calm that allows the skin to remain in a repair state rather than a reactive state.
