Licorice Root: The Ancient Glow Secret in Your Artisan Soap
The Golden Healer
Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), revered in Chinese herbalism as "Gan Cao", has been skin's loyal companion since Silk Road apothecaries blended it with honey masks. Modern labs confirm its star compound - glabridin - inhibits tyrosinase 34% more effectively than common brightening agents (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021).
