DIPOTASSIUM GLYCYRRHIZATE

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is synthesized by extracting glycyrrhizin from licorice root and then converting it into its dipotassium salt form through a chemical process. The extracted glycyrrhizin is hydrolyzed and purified, followed by reaction with potassium hydroxide to create Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
It effectively calms irritation, redness, and inflammation, making it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin. This natural compound shares similarities with licorice, but it is specifically the dipotassium salt of glycyrrhizic acid.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate also aids in balancing uneven skin tones and reducing the appearance of dark spots. Its soothing properties extend to post-shave or post-sun exposure products, making it a go-to choice for soothing and rejuvenating skincare formulations that promote a calmer and healthier
complexion.
