Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of cosmetics, and specifically discloses an oil-control composition, its use, and a cosmetic product. Background Art

[0002] In modern society, people's attention to skin health and appearance is increasing day by day. People with oily skin face many troubles. Excessive sebum secretion not only makes the skin look shiny, affecting beauty, but also easily causes skin problems such as clogged pores, acne, and comedones, bringing negative impacts to personal image and mental health. At the same time, when the skin is exposed to external stimuli, such as ultraviolet rays, environmental pollution, and improper skin care, it is prone to discomfort symptoms such as sensitivity, flushing, and itching. Currently, there are various oil-control products and technologies on the market. Traditional oil-control products mostly use adsorbents, such as talcum powder, kaolin, etc., to reduce the oil on the skin surface through physical adsorption. However, this method only temporarily solves the surface problem and cannot regulate sebum secretion from the root, resulting in poor oil-control effect. And long-term use may cause burden on the skin, affecting the normal respiration and metabolism of the skin. Chemical synthetic oil-control ingredients, although they can regulate sebum secretion to a certain extent, may be irritating and easily cause adverse reactions such as skin allergies, and are not suitable for sensitive skin.

[0003] Based on this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to prepare an oil-control product with high oil-control efficacy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil-control composition containing bitter almond seed extract, reed extract, ophiopogon root extract, and kaempferia root extract. Through the synergistic effect among the four, it can effectively reduce sebum secretion and achieve the purpose of oil control.

[0005] At the same time, the present invention also provides the use of an oil-control composition and a cosmetic product.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An oil-control composition, wherein the oil-control composition is obtained by water extraction of a plant combination of bitter almond seeds, reeds, ophiopogon roots, and kaempferia roots, and the weight ratio of bitter almond seeds, reeds, ophiopogon roots, and kaempferia roots in the plant combination is 3-7:4-8:3-7:1-6.

[0008] In the present invention, the effects of each component are as follows:

[0009] Bitter almond seed extract: Bitter almond seed extract is rich in various vitamins, fatty acids and minerals. It can help regulate the activity of sebaceous glands by supplementing the nutrients of the skin lipid barrier. Its emollient property can reduce the phenomenon of excessive oil secretion caused by water shortage while moisturizing the skin, thus indirectly achieving the effect of oil control;

[0010] Reed extract: Flavonoids and other compounds in reed extract have the effect similar to phytoestrogens. They can combine with hormone receptors in human skin cells to regulate the balance of hormones in the body, reduce the sensitivity of sebaceous glands to androgens, and thus reduce the amount of oil secretion.

[0011] Ophiopogon japonicus root extract: Components such as homoisoflavonoids in Ophiopogon japonicus root extract can act on sebaceous gland cells. By affecting the signal transduction pathway in cells, it reduces the expression of genes related to lipid synthesis and secretion in sebaceous gland cells, and then reduces the ability of sebaceous glands to synthesize and secrete oil, controls the production of skin oil from the source, makes the skin oil secretion at a normal level, and achieves the effect of oil control.

[0012] Kaempferia galanga root extract: Kaempferia galanga root extract has a certain inhibitory effect on some common skin microorganisms such as Propionibacterium acnes and Malassezia. When these microorganisms overgrow on the skin surface, they will decompose the oil on the skin surface, produce irritating substances, cause skin inflammation, and then lead to abnormal oil secretion. Kaempferia galanga root extract maintains the balance of skin microecology by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of these microorganisms, reduces skin inflammation and abnormal oil secretion caused by microbial infection, and makes the skin more refreshing and comfortable.

[0013] In the research of the present invention, it is found that when the above four plant extracts are used together, they can play a synergistic effect. They may act on the skin through multiple pathways, reduce the synthesis and secretion of lipids in sebaceous gland cells and decompose skin oil, and exert an excellent oil control effect.

[0014] Preferably, the extraction method of the extract is as follows:

[0015] Step 1: After crushing the plant combination of bitter almond seeds, reeds, Ophiopogon japonicus roots and Kaempferia galanga roots through a 40-mesh sieve, add water and stir at 65 ± 5 °C for 2 - 4 h, centrifuge to remove the precipitate, and concentrate the centrifugate under reduced pressure at 60 ± 5 °C and -0.08 ± 0.01 MPa to 25 - 35 wt% of the mass of the centrifugate to obtain the first concentrated solution. Among them, the weight ratio of the plant combination to water is 1 - 3:8 - 15;

[0016] Step 2: Add an equal volume of 95 vol% ethanol to the first concentrated solution, perform alcohol precipitation for 12 - 24 h, centrifuge to remove the precipitate, and concentrate the centrifugate under reduced pressure at 60 ± 5°C and -0.08 ± 0.01 MPa until there is no alcohol left to obtain a second concentrated solution; add butanediol and water to the second concentrated solution, stir evenly, and perform ultrafiltration at 0.25 ± 0.1 MPa to obtain an ultrafiltrate, where the weight ratio of the second concentrated solution, butanediol, and water is 1 - 3:3 - 5:5 - 7;

[0017] Step 3: Add a preservative to the ultrafiltrate and sterilize it at 85 ± 3°C for 0.5 - 1 h to obtain an oil-control composition.

[0018] In addition, the present invention also provides the use of the above-mentioned oil-control composition in preparing cosmetics.

[0019] Preferably, the cosmetics have an oil-control effect.

[0020] Finally, the present invention also discloses a cosmetic containing the above-mentioned oil-control composition.

[0021] Preferably, the cosmetic contains 0.01 - 30 wt% of the oil-control composition.

[0022] More preferably, the dosage form of the cosmetic is lotion, cream, essence, lotion, shampoo, facial foam, facial cleanser or hair conditioner.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0024] The oil-control composition of the present invention is obtained by combining extracts of bitter almond seeds, reed, root of dwarf lilyturf, and root of lesser galangal. When these four plant extracts are used together, they have a synergistic effect of enhancing the oil-control effect. Description of the Drawings

[0040] Performance testing

[0041] Chorioallantoic membrane test of chicken embryo

[0042] 1. Test purpose and principle

[0043] The chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) test is an early - adopted in - vitro evaluation method for eye irritation. The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is a respiratory membrane that surrounds the chicken embryo. This test utilizes the characteristics of the intact, clear, and transparent vascular system of the chorioallantoic membrane in the mid - stage of incubated chicken embryos. A certain amount of the test substance is directly contacted with the chorioallantoic membrane of the chicken embryo. After a period of action, the changes in the toxicity effect indicators of the chorioallantoic membrane (such as bleeding, coagulation, and vascular lysis) are observed. These indicators reflect the changes in the morphological structure, color, and permeability of blood vessels and vascular networks, as well as the phenomena of protein denaturation in the chorioallantoic membrane and its degree of damage. Then, a score is combined to evaluate the eye irritation of the test substance.

[0044] The purpose of this test is to test the ability of the test substance to cause toxic changes in the chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane and to evaluate the elements and processes of the potential eye irritation of the substance to be evaluated.

[0062]

[0063]

[0064] The experiment was conducted using the endpoint evaluation method. The endpoint evaluation (ES) was calculated, and the result was retained to two decimal places; ES ≤ 4, no irritation; 4 < ES ≤ 12, mild irritation; 12 < ES < 16, moderate irritation; ES ≥ 16, strong irritation / corrosion; the score of each chick embryo = the sum of the degrees of bleeding, blood coagulation, and vascular lysis observed in each chick embryo; ES = the average value of the mathematical sum obtained from 6 chick embryos.

[0065] After detection, the ES of the composition in Example 1 was 2.67, indicating that the sample was mild and non-irritating. Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , for the comparison of the chick embryo states before and after dropping the aqueous solution prepared from the composition of Example 1 onto the chick embryo. Among them, Figure 1 is the observation diagram of the chick embryo before using the sample, Figure 2 is the observation diagram of the chick embryo after using the sample.

[0066] 5α-reductase inhibition rate

[0067] 1. Test purpose and principle

[0068] The sebaceous glands of oily skin have relatively strong secretion functions. The face feels greasy, is not easy to clean, and has an oily sheen that affects beauty. At the same time, some corresponding skin diseases are prone to occur, such as acne vulgaris and seborrheic dermatitis, etc. In view of the relationship between 5α-reductase and sebaceous glands, the inhibitory effect of the test sample on 5α-reductase is usually detected to reflect the role of sebum regulation, so as to characterize the oil control effect of the test sample. In this test, referring to the laboratory method, the 5α-reductase inhibition rate test results of the test sample and the negative control were compared. If the inhibition rate of the test sample was higher than that of the negative control, it could be considered that the test sample had a certain oil control effect.

[0089] Note: The 5α-reductase inhibition rate is retained to two decimal places.

[0090] Data analysis of Table 3 shows that:

[0091] The data of Examples 1-3 show that the combination of bitter almond seed extract, reed extract, ophiopogon root extract and kaempferia root extract used in the present invention can efficiently inhibit 5α-reductase within the weight ratio range of the present invention. The inhibition rate of Example 1 is 28.89%;

[0092] According to the data analysis of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3, when the bitter almond seed extract and / or the kaempferia root extract are missing in the composition, the 5α-reductase inhibition rate is significantly reduced. Especially in Comparative Example 3, which lacks both the bitter almond seed extract and the kaempferia root extract, the 5α-reductase inhibition rate is only 10.24%, much lower than that of Example 1. The above data show that the four components of bitter almond seed extract, reed extract, ophiopogon root extract, and kaempferia root extract in the oil-control composition of the present invention are compounded to produce a synergistic effect of increasing the 5α-reductase inhibition rate, thus achieving a better oil-control effect.
