About Glabridin
Glabridin is the main compound of Licorice root extract.Glabridin is known for its beneficial effects on the skin due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Glabridin has two main effects:
 1)Glabridin inhibits melanogenesis. Some researchers have established that this effect may be due to the inhibition of tyrosinase activity.
 2)Glabridin is a phytoestrogen, binding to the human estrogen receptor and stimulating creatine kinase activity in rat uterus, epiphyseal cartilage, diaphyseal bone, aorta, and left ventricle of the heart.Glabridin and its derivatives exhibited varying degrees of estrogen receptor agonism in different tests and demonstrated growth-inhibitory actions on breast cancer cells.
