Key Benefits
Helps soothe stressed-looking skin: Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is widely used in cosmetic formulas designed to improve comfort and support a calmer-looking complexion. It is especially relevant to products for sensitive-feeling skin or routines exposed to environmental and formulation stressors.Supports a reduction in the visible look of redness: Its licorice-derived profile makes it a practical choice for toners, serums, masks and moisturizers positioned around the appearance of redness and post-stress skin comfort.
Works across skin and scalp care: Beyond facial skincare, it can be used in scalp, hair-care and rinse-off concepts where a gentle conditioning and soothing profile is desirable.
Formulation-friendly water-phase active: Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is described as water-soluble, which makes it convenient for many aqueous cosmetic systems. [R3]
Why Formulators Choose Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
The ingredient combines recognizable licorice-derived positioning with practical formulation utility. It can add a soothing dimension without forcing the formula into an oil-phase delivery system, and it works across minimalist sensitive-skin concepts as well as more complex multi-active products. Cosmetic safety literature also documents its use as a skin-conditioning ingredient. [R2]

Scientific Evidence Snapshot
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is the dipotassium salt of glycyrrhizic acid. Cosmetic Ingredient Review literature describes glycyrrhizic-acid derivatives, including Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, as cosmetic skin-conditioning ingredients and reports historical use of Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate in cosmetics at concentrations up to 1%. [R2] Current supplier literature also describes the ingredient as water-soluble and positions it for soothing-focused personal-care applications. [R3–R4]
