Whitening mechanism

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate can inhibit the production of melanin. The back skin of guinea pigs was selected for the experimental study. Under UVB irradiation, the skin pretreated with 0.5% dipotassium glycyrrhizinate had a higher skin whitening coefficient Chemicalbook (L value) than the control group, and used The effect is significant. Experimental results show that dipotassium glycyrrhizinate can significantly inhibit melanin production. It can be used to prevent skin pigmentation and melanin production after sun exposure. It is a potential skin whitening agent.

Preparation method

It is obtained by using licorice as raw material, extracting it with water and adding potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate for complete neutralization.
