Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (CAS 68797-35-3), also known as dipotassium glycyrrhizate, is the dipotassium salt form of glycyrrhizic acid derived from licorice root extract.

It functions as a sweetener, flavor modifier, and bioactive ingredient across food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. In food and beverage manufacturing, it acts as a natural sweetener.

It is particularly useful for masking bitter or medicinal off-notes in functional foods and dietary supplements. Pharmaceutical formulators use it as an excipient and active ingredient in oral preparations.

Its buffering capacity supports stable formulation at target pH ranges. In personal care, it is incorporated into skin-soothing creams, serums, and toners where its anti-inflammatory reputation drives demand.

It is frequently used in sensitive-skin and brightening product lines. Oral care products such as toothpastes and mouthwashes also use it for both its flavor contribution and its compatibility.

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate is supplied as a white to off-white powder. It is available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with pharmaceutical-grade material offered to USP standards.

JP compendial standards are also available where purity requirements are more stringent. Bulk supply is standard for industrial buyers, with smaller quantities available for formulation development.
