Bulkactives has some Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate listed but it's out of stock. The only other one I can find is on makingcosmetics. Does anyone know of any other places that have licorice extract?  |

Aren't there challenges involved with adding licorice to beauty products?
I hear that it's often hard to dissolve and that it has to be at the right pH. Are these true? |

I have not tried it yet, so many yummy things and just so much skin, I do believe Kassy has used it, so hopefully she can weigh in on the best way! |

I've had no problems with mine, and have used it in a few products across a broad pH range.

VeronicaM, you just have to learn about the solubility and PH etc. of different ingredients and then you'll know how to work with them.
Thank you Kassy. That's the one I'm getting! |

| Lightening/soothing. It's anti-inflammatory, great for irritation, inflammation, rosacea and discoloration. |

I am glad Kassy came along to answer, I have used it in extract (I made) it has many great healing properties but not in any lotions or potions yet! |

| Health food shops sell Licorice extract in a tincture to take internally. Is this the same? Couldn't you just add a few drops to a serum? |

It is just easier to work out the actual percentage with a powder made for DIY than the extracts sold for internal usage. |

I don't think I'd use that. Tinctures are usually in alcohol etc. I'd only use something meant for facial skin. |

Most Extracts are in Alcohol some in Glycerin after the Alcohol is evaporated off, those are harder to find and there is a smaller variety.
I know you try to avoid Alcohol in skin care as much as possible anyway! |
