Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate 98% (Licorice Root Extract), Licorice Dipotassium

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate 98%, derived from licorice root extract, is a popular skincare and cosmetic ingredient known for its conditioning and anti-inflammatory properties. It lends a soothing quality to products while helping to improve their texture and feel. Dipotassium glycyrrhizate is the active salt derived from the licorice root extract of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant – native to Europe and Asian subcontinents like India. Glycyrrhizic acid, often referred to as glycyrrhizin, is the key compound present in the extract.

Dipotassium glycyrrhizate is a skincare ingredient with a proven ability to improve dry, damaged skin. It can reduce flaking, enhance suppleness, and soothe irritation. Clinical studies have determined the effectiveness of Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate in treating inflamed skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis or eczema by reducing redness and irritation.

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate may help to preserve the hyaluronic acid content of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is an essential molecule for skin hydration and can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water. By preserving this acid, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate could assist in the maintenance of the skin’s hydration levels and youthfulness.
