Glycyrrhizates are salts or esters of glycyrrhizinic acid, the diglucuronide of glycyrrhetinic acid. Methyl glycyrrhizates, the methyl ester of glycyrrhizinic acid, are used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as a flavouring agent (reduces or inhibits the basic odour or taste of a product).
