DIPOTASSIUM GLYCYRRHIZATE
Is DIPOTASSIUM GLYCYRRHIZATE safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate keeps its lower-concern editorial label for seborrheic dermatitis and may support a calmer, more comfortable formula, but it is not a proven standalone treatment for the condition.
A cosmetic safety assessment supports its covered uses. A small split-leg trial also found hydration and barrier improvements with a multi-ingredient emollient containing Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, but the study had no vehicle control and cannot assign the result to this ingredient. No direct human seb derm study was found. Treat it as a supportive conditioner and judge the full formula, not as an antifungal active.

What is DIPOTASSIUM GLYCYRRHIZATE used for in skincare?
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from glycyrrhizic acid, a major component associated with licorice root. It is used as a humectant and skin-conditioning ingredient to support a soothing product profile. It is often combined with panthenol, niacinamide, allantoin, glycerin and botanical extracts in serums, masks and moisturisers.
