Licorice Flavonoids Powder
Licorice Flavonoids Powder is a natural skin-brightening compound isolated from licorice flavonoids, which are themselves obtained from the rhizomes of select licorice species (including Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Glycyrrhiza inflata, and Glycyrrhiza glabra). Entirely natural, free from contaminants, and without adverse effects on the human body, this ingredient appears as a reddish-brown powder at ambient temperature. It is insoluble in water but dissolves readily in organic solvents such as ethanol, propylene glycol, and 1,3-butanediol.
Derived from a specific variety of licorice, this natural brightening agent works by suppressing tyrosinase activity while also blocking the interconversion of dopachrome and the activity of DHICA oxidase. It represents a rapid, effective, and eco-friendly cosmetic additive for whitening and spot reduction.

Glycyrrhizic Flavone exhibits potent antibacterial properties, helps prevent UV-induced inflammation, pigmentation, and skin roughness, and effectively scavenges superoxide ions. It inhibits hemolysis triggered by hydrogen peroxide, suppresses tyrosinase activity, and interferes with dopachrome tautomerization and DHICA oxidase function. As a fast-acting, efficient, and green whitening cosmetic ingredient, its oxygen radical scavenging capacity rivals that of SOD (superoxide dismutase), and it delivers antioxidant free radical protection comparable to vitamin E.
Furthermore, Glycyrrhizin demonstrates strong oxidative effects, helps combat atherosclerosis, and contributes to lowering blood lipids and blood pressure.
Licorice flavonoids additionally inhibit tyrosinase, neutralize oxygen free radicals, and provide anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic benefits. These properties largely stem from 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid derivatives—glycyrrhizic acid and glycyrrhetinate—which also reduce capillary permeability.
The flavonoids also exhibit adrenocorticosteroid-like activity; licorice itself shows both mineralocorticoid-like and glucocorticoid-like effects.
At the same time, licorice flavonoids suppress tyrosinase activity and eliminate oxygen free radicals, with an antioxidant capacity close to that of vitamin E. Because licorice is a tonic in traditional Chinese medicine, it contains proteins, various amino acids, lipids, polysaccharides, fruit acids, vitamins, and trace elements. In cosmetic formulations, proteins and their hydrolyzed amino acids nourish and moisturize skin and hair, and help repair damaged skin and hair.
Glycyrrhizic Flavone is a natural whitening agent extracted from select licorice species. It inhibits tyrosinase activity as well as dopachrome interconversion and DHICA oxidase activity, making it a fast, efficient, and green cosmetic additive for whitening and depigmentation.
Glycyrrhizin offers demulcent, emollient, anti-inflammatory, anti-pathogenic, hepatoprotective, and antibacterial properties. Owing to these therapeutic attributes, licorice has been widely researched for both medicinal and food applications. In cosmetics, Glycyrrhiza glabra delivers whitening, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant effects, making it an exceptionally valuable ingredient. Licorice is often called “whitening gold” because of its powerful ability to inhibit reactive oxygen species and melanin production—a tribute to its outstanding whitening efficacy and the fact that its cost per gram rivals that of gold. Only a handful of brands are willing to use it as a whitening component.
