    the web introduces the supplement that may improve the skin. Piperine can stimulate pigmentation in the skin, together with the exposure to UVB light.

    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:

    http://www.researchgate.net/publication/262016270_Topically_applied_glycyrrhizic_acid_causes_hair_removal_in_rats

    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.
