Description

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate, a powerful bioactive compound derived from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice), is highly valued in the skincare and cosmetics industry for its exceptional anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and skin-soothing properties. Commonly used in creams, lotions, serums, and sunscreens, it works by inhibiting histamine release and other inflammatory mediators, effectively reducing skin redness, itching, and irritation caused by sensitivity, environmental pollutants, or harsh cosmetic ingredients. Rich in antioxidants, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate helps protect skin cells from oxidative stress, supports anti-aging benefits, and strengthens the skin’s natural barrier. Additionally, it enhances skin hydration and moisture retention, making it ideal for sensitive skin care, anti-aging formulas, and daily protective skincare products that deliver gentle yet comprehensive results.
