Glycyrrhiza uralensis root extract is an extract obtained from a species of licorice closely related to Glycyrrhiza glabra. They are almost completely the same when it comes to the active ingredients in their roots.
In skincare products, Glycyrrhiza extract is known for its powerful soothing effects and ability to help treat pigmentation issues. The main active ingredient, glycyrrhizin, is structurally very similar to corticoid hormones and has the same mechanism of action.
