Science & Benefits

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a high-purity dipotassium salt of glycyrrhizic acid, the primary active in Licorice Root. It is a 'gold standard' soothing agent that mimics the effects of cortisol in reducing skin redness and swelling, without the side effects of steroids. As a humectant, it binds moisture effectively and is particularly useful for reducing the 'flaking' seen in dermatitis or acne-prone skin irritated by retinoids. It is zero-comedogenic and acts as a powerful anti-irritant, making it a logical addition to any high-potency active formula (like BHA or Vitamin C) to neutralize potential stinging and maintain hydration.
