About

Liquiritigenin is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Liquiritigenin is a flavanone isolated from Glycyrrhiza species (licorice root), exhibiting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and tyrosinase-inhibiting activity. It is permitted for use in cosmetic products in the EU under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 with no specific restriction listed.
