Description

18Beta-Glycyrrhetinic Acid Potassium Salt is a high-purity, water-soluble derivative of glycyrrhetinic acid, a key bioactive triterpenoid from licorice root. This compound is valued for its enhanced bioavailability and potent anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and skin-whitening properties compared to its acid form. It is an essential active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and cosmetic raw material for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and personal care industries seeking effective, natural-derived actives.

Application

• Pharmaceutical APIs: Used in the formulation of anti-inflammatory drugs, hepatoprotective agents, antiviral medications, and ulcer treatments.
• Cosmetics & Skincare: A key active in creams, serums, and lotions for its skin-soothing, anti-redness, whitening, and anti-aging benefits.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into capsules and tablets for liver support and general anti-inflammatory wellness products.
• Oral Care Products: Utilized in toothpaste and mouthwash for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties to promote gum health.
• Veterinary Medicine: Applied in topical and internal formulations for animals to address inflammation and support liver function.
• Research & Development: Serves as a critical reference standard and biochemical reagent in pharmacological and cosmetic research.
