Liquorice

Licorice is a family of flowering plants. It has anti-inflammatory effects and is a very powerful antioxidant. In cosmetics, it is used for the care of mature skin, especially for lightening age spots. It is also soothing and has healing effects perfect for treating inflamed, irritated or sensitive skin.
