About
Liquiritin Apioside is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Liquiritin apioside is a flavonoid glycoside found in licorice (Glycyrrhiza) root extracts alongside liquiritin, isoliquiritin, and related compounds. Like other licorice flavonoids, it contributes to the skin-soothing and brightening properties attributed to licorice extracts. It is a permitted cosmetic ingredient in the EU under Regulation 1223/2009 as part of licorice-derived ingredient listings. As a naturally derived ingredient with a long history of safe use in herbal medicine and cosmetics, it has a favorable safety profile.
