2. What Is Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate?
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate is the dipotassium salt of glycyrrhizic acid, a naturally occurring triterpenoid saponin found in licorice root. Through controlled extraction and neutralization, the compound becomes highly water-soluble, odor-light, and suitable for modern formulations.
Compared with crude licorice extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate offers:
-
More consistent active content
-
Better formulation stability
-
Lower color and odor impact
-
Improved compatibility with sensitive-skin products
This makes it a preferred choice in professional cosmetic and personal care formulations.
3. Product Source & Raw Material Traceability
-
Botanical source: Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (Licorice root)
-
Origin: Controlled cultivation zones in Northwest China
-
Traceability: Full batch traceability from raw root → extraction → finished ingredient
-
Adulteration control: No synthetic substitutes, no unauthorized additives
AIHerba® maintains long-term contracts with licensed raw material suppliers and applies incoming material identification before production.
4. Key Functional Benefits (Non-Medical, Formulation-Focused)
Benefits described below relate to cosmetic and ingredient functionality, not medical treatment.
-
Soothing & Comforting Support
Helps reduce visible redness and skin discomfort caused by environmental stressors. -
Skin Barrier Support
Frequently used in formulations targeting sensitive, dry, or compromised skin conditions. -
Formulation Synergy
Works well with niacinamide, panthenol, allantoin, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides. -

5. Health-Related Use Context (Regulatory-Neutral)
In functional foods and nutraceutical research contexts, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate has been studied for its interaction with inflammatory signaling pathways. However, AIHerba does not promote this ingredient for disease prevention or treatment, and applications must comply with local regulatory frameworks.
6. Traditional Background (Ingredient Context Only)
Licorice root has a long history of use in traditional herbal systems in Asia and Europe. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate represents a modern, standardized evolution of this traditional ingredient, designed for today’s regulated formulation environments.
