DATA SHEET
STEARYL GLYCYRRHETINATE
_________________________________________________________
Glycyrrhizic Acid is the main constituent of licorice root, which has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Recently, it has been studied chemically and pharmacologically. The anti-inflammatory effects of Glycyrrhizic Acid were evaluated by using Carrageenin-induced oedema, UV-erythema and skin reaction sensitized with DNCB. Glycyrrhizic Acid contained 2 or 3% in 30% DMSO, or in an ointment exhibited significant anti-inflammatory effects against UV-erythema. Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate is a derivative of Glycyrrhizic acid which has increased oil solubility and greater cosmetic application. This derivative has strong anti-inflammatory properties at low usage levels.
