May 2014 in “Pharmaceutical Biology” The study investigated the epilatory effects of glycyrrhizic acid, a compound from sweet licorice, on hair removal in Wistar rats. A solution containing 15% glycyrrhizic acid was applied to the rats' necks twice daily, resulting in 20-30% hair loss after 3 days and 90-95% after 6-12 days. Long-term treatment reduced hair regrowth by about 20%, with no signs of skin irritation. The study suggested that glycyrrhizic acid could be a potential treatment for hypertrichosis in humans, as it effectively removed hair without causing inflammation.
