Enoxolone
Enoxolone is a gentle soothing ingredient derived from liquorice root, widely used in UK skincare for its calming and anti-irritant properties. It helps reduce the appearance of redness and discomfort, making it a popular choice in sensitive-skin formulas, moisturisers and after-sun products. Shoppers often look for it in products aimed at reactive or easily irritated skin.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare Enoxolone works by helping to soothe visible signs of irritation and supporting the skin’s natural comfort. It is frequently included in formulations to minimise the look of redness and to enhance the overall mildness of a product, particularly in cleansers, masks, eye creams and barrier-supporting moisturisers. Its gentle profile makes it a favourite in British beauty routines for those seeking calm, balanced skin without harsh actives.
