Licorice – delicate areas

Popularized in the form of cachous, licorice is much more than a delicacy, and its root, since antiquity when it was used to clear the voice, has received different names: sweet wood, sweet root, or regalisse. A plant that is “good for everything”, it was once used in the composition of hospital tea.

But it is for its melanin-inhibiting properties, linked to a powerful isoflavone: glabridin, that Sentéales uses licorice in the ultra-fine cream of its Eye & Lip Contour.

Liquorice extract helps lighten delicate areas that are often dark around the eye while improving pigmentation marks and reducing redness.

Liquorice works usefully with beer yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae) to reduce the size of bags and diminish dark circles, strengthening the capillary network.
