Licorice Oil – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Licorice Oil serves as a Biological Sealant. Unlike the root extract (which targets pigment) or the leaf juice (which targets immediate hydration), the oil targets Texture Stability. It works by reinforcing the skin's natural "mortar"—the lipids that hold skin cells together. In an era of aggressive "skin cycling," Licorice Oil is the final step that prevents Surface Burnout. By creating a microscopic, breathable film, it allows the skin to repair itself underneath without interference from wind, pollution, or dry air.
