Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is the dipotassium salt of glycyrrhizic acid, extracted from licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra). This water-soluble derivative is highly valued in cosmetics for its potent anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties, making it particularly effective for calming irritated, sensitive, or reactive skin. Formulators choose it over glycyrrhizic acid for its superior water solubility, stability across a broader pH range, and ability to reduce redness and inflammation at concentrations as low as 0.1-2%.
