| This ancient spice has a long and
illustrious history as an herbal remedy. Such luminaries
as Alexander the Great, Caesar, and Brahma extolled
its virtues and used it to treat a host of complaints,
everything from ulcers to asthma.
Currently, licorice is used to soothe sore throats—you
may have seen it as an ingredient in some cough medications.
Researchers are also studying its possible anti-inflammatory
and anti-allergenic properties. But what makes licorice
extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) such a popular
ingredient in our skincare line is its ability to
brighten and calm. You'll find illuminating licorice
in many DHC products, including the hydrating toner
Skin Softener and the complexion-refreshing Firming
Kelp Facial Mask. Help combat discoloration and uneven
tone while soothing your skin with these radiance-inducing
treatments.
Did you know...
Most licorice candy in the United States does not
contain true licorice—it's flavored with aniseed.
