Potassium Licorice Root Salt
What it is
A rarely-standardized INCI listing that in essentially every real-world ingredient-list context (Korean centella + licorice combination toners/ampoules) corresponds to Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, the dipotassium salt of licorice-root glycyrrhizic acid; treat with the same caution as that better-documented name until a supplier confirms otherwise.
How it works
As the licorice-derived glycyrrhizate salt, it interacts with skin inflammatory pathways to reduce redness and reactivity while helping the surface retain water.
What it does
Humectant
Skin conditioning
Soothing
