02 · Composition

What's Inside

100% Pure Licorice Herbal Infusion Oil

• Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) infused in a cold-pressed carrier oil base
• No synthetic brighteners, no fragrance, no fillers
• No parabens, sulphates, or artificial preservatives

Key active: Glabridin — a naturally occurring compound in licorice root, known for its role in supporting skin brightening and calming visible redness. Present as a gentle botanical extract, not an isolated synthetic.

03 · Origin & Sourcing

From Ancient Root to Radiant Skin

·         Botanical name:Glycyrrhiza glabra (root)

·         Common names:Licorice, Mulethi, Yashtimadhu

·         Origin:Sourced from traditional cultivation regions across India and the Middle East, where licorice root has been grown for millennia

·         Ayurvedic name:Yashtimadhu — meaning "sweet stick" — listed in classical Ayurvedic texts as a Varnya herb (complexion-enhancing)

·         Dosha affinity:Primarily Pitta-pacifying; cools inflammation, reduces redness, and supports calm, clear skin

·         Roots are harvested at maturity for maximum glabridin and glycyrrhizin content

04 · Extraction

How It's Made

·         Method:Traditional slow herbal infusion — dried licorice root is steeped in a cold-pressed carrier oil over an extended period

·         Low heat or cold maceration preserves heat-sensitive actives like glabridin

·         Unlike solvent-extracted licorice, infusion oils carry a fuller spectrum of root compounds

·         The carrier oil acts as a vehicle, drawing out and preserving the root's bioactives naturally

·         Filtered, bottled, and sealed — no further processing or additives

11 · FAQs

1. How is this different from a licorice extract serum?

Most licorice serums use isolated glabridin dissolved in water or alcohol. Bhisajyam uses a whole-root herbal infusion in oil — the full botanical complexity of the root is preserved. Gentler, oil-based, and better suited to dry or sensitive skin rituals.

2. How long before I see brightening results?

Natural brightening takes time. Most users notice calmer, more even-looking skin within 3–4 weeks. Visible reduction in dark spots typically takes 8–12 weeks of consistent daily use. Slow care creates lasting change.

3. Can I use this with vitamin C or niacinamide?

Yes — licorice infusion oil complements both. Apply water-based serums first, allow them to absorb, then layer this oil on top as your final step. A well-regarded combination for supporting an even, bright complexion.

4. Is it safe for daily use on the face?

Yes, with dilution. Mix 2–3 drops into your carrier oil or serum and apply once or twice daily. Begin with once daily for sensitive skin, then build gradually. Always patch test before beginning facial use.

5. What is Yashtimadhu in Ayurveda?

Yashtimadhu is the classical Ayurvedic name for licorice root. Listed in the Charaka Samhita as one of the ten Varnya herbs — plants that enhance complexion and skin radiance. Also used for its Pitta-pacifying and anti-inflammatory properties.

6. How should I store this oil?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use to prevent oxidation. When stored correctly, the oil retains its potency for up to 12–18 months.
