Description

Glycyrrhizic Acid Ammonium Salt is the ammonium salt form of the primary bioactive triterpenoid saponin found in licorice root. This compound is valued for its potent sweetening properties, which are significantly higher than sucrose, and its well-documented anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing effects. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceutical, and food industries, where natural and multifunctional additives are in high demand.

Application

• Cosmetic & Skincare Formulations: Used as a key active in creams, lotions, and serums for its anti-irritant, soothing, and skin-brightening properties.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed in topical preparations for dermatitis, eczema, and other inflammatory skin conditions, and as an excipient in cough syrups and lozenges.
• Oral Care Products: Incorporated into toothpaste and mouthwash for its anti-inflammatory benefits and mild sweetening effect.
• Food & Beverage Industry: Functions as a high-potency natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in confectionery, beverages, and dietary supplements.
• Hair Care Products: Added to shampoos and conditioners for its scalp-soothing and anti-dandruff potential.
• Tobacco Industry: Used as a flavoring and moistening agent in tobacco products.
