Usage

General Description

Sodium glycyrrhizinate is a natural compound derived from the herb licorice root, and is often used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products for its anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. It is a white or yellowish powder that is water-soluble, and has a sweet taste. Sodium glycyrrhizinate is often added to topical creams and ointments to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne, as well as to oral health products to alleviate inflammation and irritation in the mouth. It is also used in some medications to mask bitter flavors and improve the overall taste of the product. While generally considered safe, excessive consumption can lead to side effects such as high blood pressure and low potassium levels.
