Frequently asked questions
- Is dipotassium glycyrrhizate safe during pregnancy?
- The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) safety assessment (peer‑reviewed) concluded these glycyrrhizate salts (including dipotassium glycyrrhizate) are expected to be poorly absorbed through skin and are not reproductive/developmental hazards in the cosmetic context; no harmonised CLP reproductive classifications were found on ECHA. ([pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17613133/))
- Is dipotassium glycyrrhizate safe while breastfeeding?
- Topical cosmetic use is expected to produce negligible systemic exposure (CIR conclusion), so breastfeeding exposure via breastmilk is unlikely from normal topical use; no specific reproductive/ lactation hazards or harmonised classifications were identified. ([pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17613133/))
- Is dipotassium glycyrrhizate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants; CIR notes poor dermal absorption for these salts, so hazard remains low. Per scoring rules, increase exposure (e) by +1 for 0–3‑yr skin because infant barrier is immature (adult e=0 → baby e=1). No infant‑specific data indicating higher hazard or mechanism were found. ([pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17613133/))
