Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate (CAS: 68797-35-3) is the dipotassium salt form of glycyrrhizic acid, derived from the roots of Glycyrrhiza uralensis (Leguminosae family). As one of the most important active components of licorice, it exhibits both pharmacological and auxiliary synergistic effects, widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food industries. Japan's Ministry of Health classifies it as a quasi-drug ingredient, while China's Cosmetics Safety Technical Standards permits a maximum concentration of 2%.
