Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate Powder

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate is a salt of glycyrrhizic acid that exhibits several properties that make it useful for cosmetic purposes. Glycyrrhizic acid is also known as glycyrrhizinic acid or glycyrrhizin. It is extracted from licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra). However, due to glycyrrhizic acid being poorly soluble in water, its potassium salt is frequently utilized instead in skin care products. Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate is a substance well known to the medical community because it has been investigated as potential treatment for several disorders. For example, in Japan it is used as treatment for chronic hepatitis due to its potent antiviral effects. Its beneficial properties can also be transferred to skin care because this licorice constituent displays prominent anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, anti-aging, anti-psoriatic, anti-allergic and immune modulatory effects.

Skin aging can be caused by several factors, including the negative influence of free radicals, trans-epidermal water loss and diminished collagen replacement, among others. Glycyrrhizin exerts anti-aging effects by affecting some of these physiological changes that take place in the human skin, including potent anti-oxidant properties

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the metabolism of cortisol, which leads to a prolonged half-life and remission of the immune response. Glycyrrhizin also has the ability to decrease the production of prostaglandin E2, which also facilitates the reduction of skin inflammation. This compound (alone or in the form of licorice extract) is widely used in the treatment of atopic dermatitis as a potent anti-inflammatory agent.
