Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

General Description
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a highly tolerant, premier soothing and stabilizing agent derived from Licorice root. It is widely recognized in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for its exceptional anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and barrier-repairing capabilities, acting as a "clinical-grade" modulator for sensitive and reactive skin.

Mechanisms of Action

• Inhibition of Inflammatory Mediators:
  Potently inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes) to rapidly intercept the inflammation cascade. This mechanism provides immediate relief from irritation caused by UV exposure, mechanical friction, or chemical stimuli.

• Barrier Regulation & Recovery:
  Strengthens the skin's intrinsic defense system and accelerates the physiological recovery of compromised barriers, reducing the recurrence of sensitivity.

• Pigmentation Modulation:
  Exhibits inhibitory effects on melanogenesis, assisting in the reduction of Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) and improving overall skin tone uniformity.

Key Benefits

• Immediate Soothing:
  Effective in alleviating clinical symptoms of sensitivity, including erythema (redness), stinging, burning, and pruritus (itching).

• Post-Procedure Care:
  Due to its gentle and non-irritating nature, it is ideal for repairing vulnerable skin following dermatological procedures (e.g., chemical peels, laser treatments) or aggressive exfoliation.

• Tone Correction & Hydration:
  Auxiliary benefits include fading acne marks, evening skin tone, and providing mild humectant properties to improve skin texture.

Applications & Compatibility

• Target Skin Types: Universally compatible with all skin types; specifically designed for sensitive, acne-prone, and post-procedure compromised skin.

• Formulation Suitability: A critical active ingredient for soothing toners, repair serums, emulsions, recovery masks, and post-aesthetic care products.

• Primary Functions: Anti-Inflammatory/Soothing, Barrier Stabilization, Redness Reduction, Post-Procedure Repair.
