This invention discloses the application of
glycyrrhizin in the preparation of
cosmetics and its cosmetic compositions, belonging to the field of
traditional Chinese medicine research and development.
Glycyrrhizin is derived from licorice extract purified from licorice raw materials, with a purity of ≥98%. Based on its
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-
glycation,
elastase inhibitory, and
cell migration and repair promoting functions,
glycyrrhizin can be used to prepare anti-aging or soothing repair
cosmetics. Furthermore, within its effective concentration range, it exhibits no
cytotoxicity, non-
sensitization, or
phototoxicity, making it suitable for preparing anti-aging or soothing repair cosmetic compositions. This cosmetic composition has been proven to significantly improve
skin elasticity, reduce stinging and redness, and possesses anti-aging and
skin-soothing repair effects, making it widely applicable for the daily maintenance and stabilization of
sensitive skin. This invention fills a gap in the application of
glycyrrhizin in the cosmetic field, providing favorable support for the widespread application of licorice in
cosmetics.
