Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate(DPG)

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (DPG) is a highly purified, water-soluble salt derived from Glycyrrhizic Acid, the primary active component of Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra). A cornerstone of advanced skincare science and a K-beauty favorite, DG delivers multifaceted benefits by targeting inflammation, hyperpigmentation, and skin barrier vulnerability. Its exceptional compatibility and stability make it a versatile powerhouse for formulations targeting sensitivity, redness, dullness, and signs of aging.

Key Function of  Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (DPG)​

Anti – inflammatory​

Effectively reduces redness, swelling, and irritation associated with various skin conditions. It can soothe skin inflammation caused by acne, sunburn, or contact dermatitis.​

Anti – allergic​

Helps to calm allergic reactions on the skin. It works by preventing the release of histamine, a compound in the body that triggers allergic symptoms such as itching, rash, and hives.​

Skin Barrier Support​

Assists in maintaining and strengthening the skin’s natural barrier function. This helps the skin retain moisture and protects it from external aggressors like pollutants and irritants.​

Mechanism of Action for Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (DPG)​

Anti – inflammatory Pathway: Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate inhibits the activity of certain enzymes and cytokines involved in the inflammatory response. For example, it can suppress the production of pro – inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin – 6 (IL – 6) and tumor necrosis factor – alpha (TNF – α). By reducing the levels of these cytokines, it decreases the inflammatory signals in the skin, leading to a reduction in redness and swelling.​

Anti – allergic Mechanism: As mentioned, it blocks the release of histamine from mast cells. Mast cells are key players in the allergic response. When the body is exposed to an allergen, mast cells release histamine, which causes the characteristic symptoms of an allergic reaction. By preventing this release, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate alleviates allergic symptoms on the skin.​

Skin Barrier Enhancement: It helps to regulate the synthesis of lipids in the skin, specifically ceramides. Ceramides are essential components of the skin’s barrier. By promoting ceramide production, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate improves the integrity of the skin barrier, enhancing its ability to retain moisture and resist external stressors.​

Benefits and Advantages of Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (DPG)​

Gentle on Sensitive Skin: Due to its anti – inflammatory and anti – allergic properties, it is extremely suitable for sensitive skin types. It can soothe and calm irritated skin without causing further irritation.​

Versatile in Formulations: Its high water solubility allows it to be easily incorporated into a wide range of cosmetic products, from light – weight water – based serums to rich, creamy moisturizers.​

Natural Origin: Being derived from licorice root, it offers a natural alternative for consumers who prefer products with natural ingredients.​

Long – established Safety Profile: Extensive research and years of use in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries have established its safety for topical application.
