Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate description

Dipotassium glycyrrhizate is a potassium salt of glycyrrhizic acid, a soothing compound derived from the roots of the licorice (_Glycyrrhiza glabra_) plant. As with other parts of licorice, it has well-established antioxidant benefits. As alluded to above, along with its ability to fight signs of aging caused by oxidative stress, dipotassium glycyrrhizate is known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent addition to skin care products design to soothe skin irritation and calm signs of redness. The independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel has ruled dipotassium glycyrrhizate safe as used in cosmetics. In its raw form it is a pale yellow to off-white powder. One interesting factoid is that because of its naturally mild sweet taste, dipotassium glycyrrhizate is also used as a flavoring agent. Typical use levels of dipotassium glycyrrhizate in cosmetics is 0.1–0.5%; however, some suppliers recommend up to 2% depending on formulary goals.
