The invention relates to the field of daily chemicals, in particular to a licorice-extract-containing
emulsion and a preparation method thereof. The licorice-extract-containing
emulsion comprises the following components in parts by weight: 0.01-10 parts of a licorice extract, 1-20 parts of
phospholipid, 5-25 parts of oil, 0.5-20 parts of a
nonionic surfactant and 60-90 parts of a dispersion medium, wherein the
nonionic surfactant is selected from one or more of span-60, span-80, polyglycerol-10 oleate, polyglycerol monooleate, tween-80,
polyoxyethylated castor oil and caprylocaproyl macrogolglycerides. Due to the presence of
keratoderma, the
active ingredient molecules difficultly pass through the
skin obstacle to be absorbed by the
organism; according to the licorice extract-containing
emulsion, the licorice extract is wrapped in lipid nanoemulsion, so that the water
solubility of the licorice extract can be effectively increased, the
transdermal absorption capacity of the licorice extract is improved and the application of the licorice extract in the field of
skin external use is strengthened.
