Efficacy & Use

Licorice is a plant with great medicinal value, which is used in both Chinese and Western medicine. Western medicine has used licorice as an expectorant, antitussive, and sweetener since ancient Greece. In the ancient Chinese pharmacology "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", licorice is described as a drug that strengthens muscles and bones, increases physical strength, treats wounds, and ranks it as a top-grade drug.

In traditional Chinese medicine, licorice is classified as the heart, lung, spleen, and stomach meridians; it has the effects of nourishing the spleen and replenishing qi, clearing away heat and detoxification, eliminating phlegm and relieving cough, relieving spasm and relieving pain, and harmonizing various medicines. It is used for treating weakness of the spleen and stomach, lassitude, palpitation, shortness of breath, cough with profuse phlegm, abdominal distension, acute pain of extremities, carbuncle and sore, and relieves drug toxicity and potency. The dosage is 1.5-9mg.

Studies have shown that licorice can inhibit monoamine oxidase, inhibit aldose reductase that causes diabetes, relieve spasms and pain, prevent and treat viral hepatitis, treat senile osteoporosis, resist Leishmania, resist cancer, and resist AIDS (AIDS) virus so on.

Its function is reflected in whitening and sun protection

The whitening effect of licorice extract is mainly by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase and dopachrome interconversion enzyme (TRP-2), hindering the polymerization of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHl), so as to prevent the formation of melanin. Formed, so as to achieve the effect of whitening the skin.

In licorice extract, the ingredients with sunscreen efficacy are generally flavonoids. Due to the conjugation of the molecular structure of licorice flavonoids, they show strong absorption to both ultraviolet light and visible light. Molecules that absorb high-energy ultraviolet rays transition from the ground state to the activated state, and then return to the ground state from the activated state, releasing harmless low-energy rays. Compared with synthetic sunscreens, licorice extract does not need to add antioxidants to the formula when used as a sunscreen, it will not irritate the skin, and has a strong stable absorption capacity.
