The present disclosure relates to water-soluble formulations containing cannabinoids. In particular, the formulations comprise at least one isolated cannabinoid, cannabinoid oil or cannabinoid resin, and a solubilizing agent of Formula (I), where the group X is a residue of a hydrophobic moiety selected from sterols, tocopherols, and derivatives thereof, and the group Y is a residue of a hydrophilic moiety selected from polyalcohols, polyethers, and derivatives thereof. In preferred embodiments, the cannabinoid comprises cannabidiol (CBD) or Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and the hydrophobic moiety is polyoxyethanyl-α-tocopheryl sebacate (TPS). In embodiments, the formulations comprise a carrier oil, such as a medium length triglyceride (MCT), and are dispersed in water in the form of micelles.

A method for at least one of protecting skin and promoting wound healing is provided. The method comprises administering to a subject in need an effective amount of Poria cocos extract, dehydropachymic acid (DPA), pachymic acid (PA), dehydrotumulosic acid (DTA), tumulosic acid (TA), polyporenic acid C (PAC), 3-epi-dehydrotumulosic acid (EDTA), dehydrotrametenolic acid (DTTA), trametenolic acid (TTA), dehydroeburicoic acid (DEA), eburicoic acid (EA), poricoic acid A (PAA) and/or poricoic acid B (PAB).

The present invention relates to a method for producing a liquid composition for oral cavity in which β-glycyrrhetinic acid is stably dispersed or dissolved to exhibit an increased transparency and which also can ensure a sufficient amount of β-glycyrrhetinic acid adsorbed on gingiva, even if the amount of a cationic surfactant or an anionic surfactant is restricted; and such a liquid composition for oral cavity. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing a liquid composition for oral cavity, comprising the following step 1 to step 4: (Step 1) a step of blending water (F) with an organic acid and a salt thereof (E) to adjust the pH of a resultant mixture to 5 or more and 6.8 or less, (Step 2) a step of blending 0.02% by mass or more and 0.1% by mass or less of cetylpyridinium chloride (B) into the mixture, (Step 3) a step of blending 0.02% by mass or more and 0.1% by mass or less of β-glycyrrhetinic acid (A) and 2% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less of propylene glycol (C) into the mixture, and (Step 4) a step of blending 0.45% by mass or more and 1.1% by mass or less of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (D) into the mixture, wherein the component (A) and the component (B) are blended at a specific mass ratio, and these steps are carried out in a specific order.
