Chemical compound
Glabridin is a chemical compound that is found in the root extract of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra ).[ 2] Glabridin is an isoflavane , a type of isoflavonoid. This product is part of a larger family of plant-derived molecules, the natural phenols . Glabridin effectively inhibits platelet activation, so it might become therapeutic agent for thromboembolic disorders.[ 3]
It is used as an ingredient in cosmetics and is listed in International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI).
Glabridin is yellowish-brown powder. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as propylene glycol .
