[0010] Furthermore, the mass ratio of Pyracantha fortuneana, Sophora flavescens, Lycium barbarum, and Osmanthus fragrans is 10:(2-4):(5-7):(13-16).

[0011] Furthermore, the enzymatic activity of the cellulase is 10,000-20,000 U / g; the enzymatic activity of the neutral protease is 10,000-20,000 U / g.

[0012] The method for preparing the composition with whitening effect of the present invention comprises the following steps: (1) Add water, thickener, polyol and niacinamide to the emulsifier and heat to 85±1℃ to dissolve and keep warm for 30-40 minutes; (2) Add oil and homogenize for 5-15 minutes.

[0013] Phenylethyl resorcinol: On the one hand, it has a strong inhibitory effect on tyrosinase; on the other hand, the bisphenol hydroxyl structure in the structure of this ingredient has a strong antioxidant capacity, which can inhibit the reaction of melanin production; it reduces the production of melanin by downregulating the expression of MITF protein and its downstream tyrosinase-related proteins TRP1 and TRP2; it has an inhibitory effect on the enzyme catalysis process and is a tyrosinase inhibitor; and it has an antioxidant effect.

[0014] o-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid: It penetrates the stratum corneum directly to the basal melanocytes, inhibits tyrosinase activity, inhibits the formation of melanin, and reduces melanin to colorless state, thus effectively whitening the skin.

[0015] Niacinamide: It is a derivative of vitamin B3, which can inhibit the formation of melanin particles; inhibit the transfer of melanin to keratinocytes; accelerate the transfer of melanin in keratinocytes to the stratum corneum and promote the shedding of the stratum corneum.

[0016] α-Arbutin: It is a tyrosinase inhibitor. It can effectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase without affecting the cell proliferation concentration. It competes with tyrosinase for the binding site of DOPA by directly binding to it, blocking the synthesis of DOPA and DOPAquinone, thereby interfering with melanocytes and inhibiting the production of melanin. At the same time, it also has the function of diluting the formed melanin, accelerating the decomposition and excretion of melanin, reducing skin pigmentation, and removing spots and freckles.

[0017] Plant Whitening Compound-II: Contains four plant extracts: 1. Pyracantha fruit is the king of micro-fruits, rich in various vitamins and flavonoids, with antioxidant, tyrosinase inhibition, melanin reduction and pigmentation improvement effects; 2. The main components of Sophora flavescens are flavonoids and alkaloids. In addition to having multiple pharmacological abilities, studies have confirmed that matrine has the effect of inhibiting tyrosinase activity and melanin production; 3. Ningxia wolfberry ranks among the top in China in terms of efficacy and nutritional value. Studies have confirmed that wolfberry polysaccharides have the effects of scavenging free radicals, significant antioxidant activity and anti-aging; 4. Osmanthus fragrans is rich in minerals, vitamins, Osmanthus fragrans amino acids and other moisturizing ingredients, which enhance the skin's moisturizing ability.

[0018] Nonapeptide-1: Nonapeptide-1 competitively antagonizes the binding of the natural ligand a-MSH to its receptor MC1R, thereby blocking the activation of tyrosinase, reducing melanin production, and preventing excessive melanin production.

[0019] Tocopherol acetate: As an important free radical scavenger, it can directly provide hydrogen atoms to superoxide free radicals, combine with free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative damage caused by superoxide free radicals, prevent cells from being oxidized, and aggravate skin pigmentation. Antioxidants are also skin conditioners; they can prevent excessive oxygen free radicals caused by external factors such as sunlight, ultraviolet rays, and air pollution, and play a protective role in delaying photoaging, preventing sunburn, inhibiting the formation of sunburn erythema, and preventing skin damage.

[0020] Inositol: A natural osmotic regulator molecule that uses the principle of osmotic pressure protectant to protect cells in high and low osmotic pressure environments without hindering the normal metabolic activities of cells. By adjusting the intracellular osmotic pressure to compensate for the solute concentration, the osmotic pressure is adjusted in both directions, allowing the water content in the cells to return to normal.

[0021] Portulaca oleracea extract: rich in polysaccharides, flavonoids, alkaloids and other compounds with broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, it has certain anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects, can reduce inflammation-related cytokines, reduce or inhibit the irritation of common allergens to the skin, weaken skin inflammatory responses, and at the same time enhance the skin's barrier function.

[0022] Bisabolol: has anti-inflammatory properties and has also been shown to have antibacterial activity, anti-irritant effects, skin protective effects, and repair effects.

[0023] The invention provides an application of a composition with whitening effect.

[0024] The bacteria and enzymes used in the present invention are all commercially available products.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. Three core key preparations: (I) Tyrosinase inhibitors: niacinamide, phenylethyl resorcinol, α-arbutin, nonapeptide-1, 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, plant whitening compound-II (II) Melanin reducing agent: 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid (III) Melanosome transport inhibitor: niacinamide.

[0026] 2. Antioxidant mechanism and synergistic whitening: Tocopherol acetate can directly provide hydrogen atoms to superoxide radicals, combine with free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative damage caused by superoxide radicals, prevent cells from being oxidized, and aggravate skin pigmentation; cooperate with various whitening ingredients to create a full whitening channel. Promote the absorption system channel: Using the characteristics of inositol to promote penetration, in the whitening system, it can promote whitening ingredients to enter the skin more easily and exert corresponding effects. Portulaca oleracea extract + bisabolol classic combination, reduce irritation, protect the skin, and enhance the skin barrier function.

[0027] 3. The present invention uses 6 whitening ingredients to synergistically create whitening effects: niacinamide, 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid, phenylethyl resorcinol, α-arbutin, plant whitening compound-II, and nonapeptide-1; tocopherol acetate directly provides hydrogen atoms to superoxide radicals, combines with free radicals in the body, reduces oxidative damage caused by superoxide radicals, prevents cells from being oxidized and aggravates skin pigmentation to achieve antioxidant synergistic whitening effects; inositol improves whitening effects by promoting absorption; purslane extract and bisabolol achieve all-round protection by soothing and anti-inflammatory.

[0028] 4. The present invention uses microbial fermentation and enzymolysis technology in the preparation method of purslane extract and plant whitening compound-II. Such a treatment method can improve the bioavailability of the effective ingredients in the raw materials and produce new biologically active substances, thereby enhancing its whitening effect and skin soothing performance. The addition of plant lactobacillus and helveticus in the preparation of purslane extract can degrade the macromolecular substances in purslane through the anaerobic fermentation process, and convert them into small molecules that are more easily absorbed by the skin. In addition, the lactic acid, short-chain fatty acids and other metabolites produced in the lactic acid bacteria fermentation process have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects, which help to improve skin health and whitening effects.

[0029] The preparation of plant whitening compound-II and the application of cellulase and neutral protease can decompose the cellulose and protein in Pyracantha fortuneana, Sophora flavescens, Lycium barbarum, and Osmanthus fragrans, releasing more bioactive ingredients such as polyphenols, flavonoids, amino acids, etc. These ingredients have the functions of anti-oxidation, inhibiting melanin production and regulating immune response, which are helpful for whitening and anti-allergy.

[0030] Through the action of microorganisms and enzymes, the concentration of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory factors and whitening active ingredients in the extract can be increased. These ingredients can directly or indirectly inhibit the activity of tyrosinase and reduce the synthesis of melanin, thereby achieving a whitening effect. Promote skin cell renewal: Certain metabolites such as lactic acid can accelerate the metabolism of the skin's stratum corneum, promote the shedding of dead skin cells, make the skin smoother and more delicate, and help whiten the skin.

[0031] The various metabolites produced during the fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis process have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which can reduce inflammation and damage to the skin caused by external factors such as ultraviolet rays and pollution, thereby soothing sensitive skin. Moisturizing factors such as lactic acid and short-chain fatty acids produced during the fermentation process can enhance the skin's barrier function, prevent water loss, keep the skin moisturized, and help repair damaged skin tissue.

Pyracantha fortuneana fruit extract, Sophora flavescens extract, Ningxia wolfberry extract, and Ophiopogon japonicus extract are all purchased from Shaanxi Junhe Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0055] Performance Testing The compositions of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were subjected to performance tests.

[0056] 70 male test subjects aged 30-40 with dull skin and acne scars were randomly selected and divided into 7 groups. The same area of ​​the test subject's face was selected as the test area. The composition was used every night. No other cosmetics could be used on the test area during the test period. The test was continued for 2 months. The average melanin value of the test area was tested using a skin melanin and hemoglobin tester on the 0th, 30th and 60th day of use. The smaller the value, the less melanin content. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0057] Table 1 Performance test results

[0058] As can be seen from the above performance test results, the whitening effect of embodiment 1-2 is good, and especially the comprehensive performance of embodiment 1 is the most outstanding, which is mainly because of the result of the synergistic compounding of each component. The present invention uses microbial fermentation and enzymolysis technology in the preparation method of purslane extract and plant whitening compound-II, and such a treatment method can improve the bioavailability of effective ingredients in the raw materials, and simultaneously produce new bioactive substances, thereby enhancing its whitening effect and skin soothing performance. The addition of plant lactobacillus and helveticus in the preparation of purslane extract, through the anaerobic fermentation process, can degrade the macromolecular substances in purslane, so that it is converted into small molecules that are more easily absorbed by the skin. In addition, the lactic acid, short-chain fatty acids and other metabolites produced in the lactic acid bacteria fermentation process have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects, which help to improve skin health and whitening effect.

[0059] However, the comparative example does not adopt the necessary technical solution, resulting in its performance being significantly worse than that of the embodiment in the corresponding performance test. The above experimental results further prove the importance of the technical solution defined in the present invention to its technical effect.

[0060] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
