Licorice extract 4% to 10%
This is far too vague. Licorice extracts to my knowledge are from 12% (powdered root) to 95% (pure glycyrrhizic acid or its salt).10% of the pure extract would need an ethyl alcohol content min. 15% total, to be soluble.And at that percentage of pure compound, you will see pseudo-sex-hormone effects according to the research I’ve been looking up. You may also experience different hair growth. -

Seconding Belassi’s comment. Be careful with adding high concentrations of licorice root extract; you may cause hair loss. I found this article while trying to research the percentage of Glycyrrhizic Acid necessary to achieve an anti-inflammatory effect:
I also came across a discussion of the estrogenic effects of high concentrations of licorice root extract, but I think that was specifically in regards to oral ingestion.
