Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cosmetics, and particularly to the preparation and application of a cyclodextrin-encapsulated azelaic acid oil-control skin care product. Background Art

[0002] Oily skin is prone to problems such as pore blockage, frequent acne, and greasy skin due to the excessive secretion of sebaceous glands, which brings many inconveniences and troubles to people's lives. Oil-control skin care products refer to those skin care products that can effectively reduce the secretion of skin oil and improve oily skin problems. Such products help the skin maintain a fresh and non-greasy state by regulating the skin oil balance, thereby preventing the occurrence of skin problems such as acne and blackheads. For people with oily skin, oil-control skin care products are not only essential for daily skin care but also the key to improving skin health and skin quality.

[0003] Azelaic acid is a natural organic acid with multiple functions such as oil control, bacteriostasis, anti-inflammation, and whitening. It can effectively regulate the activities of sebaceous glands, reduce the secretion amount of sebum, and keep the skin fresh and non-greasy. At the same time, azelaic acid also has a certain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, which can reduce the number of harmful bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes on the skin surface, effectively reduce the formation of acne, papules, and pustules, and inhibit the excessive secretion of sebaceous glands and reduce skin inflammatory reactions, thereby alleviating acne problems. In addition, azelaic acid can ensure the water-oil balance state of the skin by balancing the function of sebaceous glands and maintaining an appropriate oil secretion level of the skin.

[0004] In the prior art, azelaic acid has a certain irritating effect on the skin, eyes, mucous membranes, and upper respiratory tract, and is prone to causing skin discomfort, such as a burning sensation, itching, and stinging. In addition, since azelaic acid is insoluble in cold water and is a solid, it is difficult to be compatible with other oils, resulting in poor transdermal absorption ability of azelaic acid. Therefore, azelaic acid oil-control skin care products often have a relatively rough texture, are difficult to be evenly applied on the skin, and are prone to a granular or abrasive feeling, which not only affects the use experience of the product but also may increase the risk of skin friction and irritation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the above background art, the present invention provides the preparation and application of a cyclodextrin-encapsulated azelaic acid oil-control skin care product.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: The preparation of a cyclodextrin-encapsulated azelaic acid oil-control skin care product includes the following steps: S1. Add deionized water into a mixer, add cyclodextrin-azelaic acid clathrate, niacinamide, and allantoin, heat for the first time and continuously stir for 20 - 30 min to ensure that all components are fully dissolved and uniformly mixed to obtain an aqueous phase. Add glycerol, caprylic / capric triglyceride, polydimethylsiloxane, polysorbate-80, and tocopheryl acetate into the mixer and mix them. Heat the solution for the second time and continuously stir for 20 - 30 min to ensure that all components are fully dissolved and uniformly mixed to obtain an oil phase. Slowly add the oil phase into the aqueous phase and shear emulsify for 5 - 10 min to obtain a nanoemulsion; S2. Cool the nanoemulsion to 40 - 45 °C, add carbomer while stirring, continue to cool to room temperature, sequentially add phenoxyethanol, ferulic acid, menthol, and essence, stir evenly, adjust the pH value of the emulsion with triethanolamine, homogenize the emulsion with a homogenizer for 1 - 2 min, defoam with a vacuum defoaming device, and fill it after disinfection.

Slowly drip the azelaic acid ethanol solution into the modified cyclodextrin solution, heat to 80 - 90 °C, stir and react for 2 - 3 h. After the reaction ends, pour the reaction solution into cold water for precipitation, filter, collect the filter cake, wash it, and dry it to constant weight to obtain the cyclodextrin-azelaic acid clathrate.

[0008] Further, the mass ratio of deionized water, cyclodextrin-azelaic acid clathrate, niacinamide, allantoin, glycerol, caprylic / capric triglyceride, polydimethylsiloxane, polysorbate-80, and tocopheryl acetate in step S1 is (80 - 90):(2 - 3):(0.2 - 0.6):(0.1 - 0.2):(5 - 6):(3 - 4):(0.01 - 0.02):(0.01 - 0.1):(0.03 - 0.05).

[0010] Further, in step S1, the temperature of the first heating is 50 - 60°C, the temperature of the second heating is 70 - 80°C, and the speed of shear emulsification is 2000 - 3000 rpm.

[0011] Further, in step S2, the adjusted pH value is 5.5 - 6.0, the rotation speed of the homogenizer is 8000 - 10000 rpm, and the homogenization pressure is 20 - 30 MPa.

[0012] Further, in step A1, the mass ratio of polyoxyethylene diamine, N-methylpyrrolidone, polyglutamic acid, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole is (2 - 3):20:(1.5 - 2):(0.1 - 0.2):(0.05 - 0.08).

[0016] Among them, the dosage ratio of β-cyclodextrin powder, deionized water and propylene oxide is (5 - 6) g:50 mL:(2 - 3) mL.

[0017] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an application of the preparation method of the above-mentioned cyclodextrin-encapsulated azelaic acid oil-control skin care product in the preparation of cosmetics or daily chemical products.

[0018] Advantages of the present invention: 1. In the technical solution of the present invention, the cyclodextrin-azelaic acid inclusion complex microscopically presents a unique molecular capsule structure. This structure is composed of the host molecule of modified cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and the guest molecule of azelaic acid through non-covalent interactions. The modified cyclodextrin molecule has a hydrophobic inner cavity and multiple hydrophilic hydroxypropyl side chains, enabling it to selectively encapsulate hydrophobic molecules. During the encapsulation process, azelaic acid molecules gradually enter the cavity of the modified cyclodextrin. Its hydrophobic part forms hydrophobic interactions with the cavity of the cyclodextrin, while the hydrophilic part forms hydrogen bonds or ion pairs with the hydrophilic side chains of the cyclodextrin or the external aqueous environment. This structure improves the water solubility of azelaic acid through the hydrophilic side chains of cyclodextrin, enabling azelaic acid to be better dispersed and dissolved in aqueous solutions, facilitating the uniform distribution of azelaic acid in skin care products, and thus being more easily absorbed and utilized by the skin.

[0019] 2. In the technical solution of the present invention, the inclusion complex structure provides physical protection for azelaic acid molecules, reducing their direct contact with the external environment, thereby reducing the possibility of chemical reactions such as photolysis, pyrolysis, and oxidation, contributing to the extension of the shelf life of skin care products and improving the use effect of the products. In addition, the encapsulation effect of cyclodextrin can mask certain irritating groups of azelaic acid molecules, reducing their direct irritation to the skin, making azelaic acid more suitable for skin care products for sensitive skin, and broadening its application scope. The inclusion complex structure can also serve as a controlled release system, controlling the release rate of azelaic acid by adjusting the interaction force between cyclodextrin and azelaic acid, contributing to the realization of the continuous action effect of skin care products and improving the user experience.

[0020] 3. The present invention adopts nanoemulsion technology to uniformly mix the oil phase and the water phase through shear emulsification to prepare a skin care product with a delicate texture and easy absorption. The nanoemulsion has a small particle size, can penetrate the skin more deeply, and provides long-lasting oil control and moisturizing effects. At the same time, by adjusting the proportion of ingredients in the formula, the skin feel of the product can be further optimized to make it more comfortable and non-greasy. Specific embodiments

The results are shown in Table 1: Table 1. Results of in vitro sustained-release performance test of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 2-3

[0039] (II) Oil control effect test: Recruit 60 volunteers with oily skin (half male and half female, aged 18-35 years old), randomly divide them into 6 groups, corresponding to Examples 1-3 groups and Comparative Examples 1-3 groups respectively. After cleaning the face, sit still for 30 min (temperature 25 ± 1 °C, humidity 50 ± 5%), use a Sebumeter to measure the initial sebum amount (μg / cm²) in the T area of the forehead, apply 0.5 g of the corresponding sample once, measure the change in sebum amount at 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, and 8 h respectively, take the average value, and calculate the sebum inhibition rate = (initial value - test value) / initial value × 100%. The results are shown in Table 2: Table 2. Sebum inhibition rate results of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 (%)

[0040] (III) Stability accelerated test: Divide the emulsions prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 into 3 portions and sub-pack them into 18 transparent glass bottles, and set 3 groups of storage conditions: ① 4 °C refrigeration (control group); ② 25 °C / 60% RH (conventional storage); ③ 40 °C / 75% RH (accelerated test). After 6 months, sample and detect the azelaic acid content (HPLC) of each emulsion, and observe the appearance state (color, layering situation). The results are shown in Table 3: Table 3. Results of stability accelerated test of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3

[0041] (IV)Skin irritation test: 20 μL of each sample of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was applied to the flexor side of the forearms of 60 volunteers using a Finn Chamber patch tester, and the patch was applied for 48 h under occlusion. After removal, the erythema / edema scores (0 points: no erythema / edema; 1 point: slight erythema; 2 points: obvious erythema, mild edema; 3 points: moderate erythema, moderate edema; 4 points: severe erythema, severe edema) were observed at 0.5 h and 24 h, the TEWL value (transepidermal water loss) was recorded, and the average value was calculated after statistical data; 50 μL of 5% lactic acid solution was applied to the flexor side of the forearm for the lactic acid sting test.

[0042] Table 5. Results of lactic acid sting test of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3

[0043] As can be seen from Table 1, for Examples 1-3: the azelaic acid release concentration within 24 hours gradually increased, indicating that the cyclodextrin-azelaic acid inclusion complex may have good sustained-release performance. In Comparative Example 2, azelaic acid was not included by cyclodextrin, the release rate was fast, and a high concentration was reached in a short time, lacking the sustained-release effect. In Comparative Example 3, only HP-β-CD was used, and the sustained-release effect of azelaic acid was between that of the example and Comparative Example 2, indicating that pure HP-β-CD has a certain sustained-release effect, but it is not as significant as that of the cyclodextrin-azelaic acid inclusion complex.

[0044] As can be seen from Table 2, the sebum inhibition rates of Examples 1-3 increased significantly with time, indicating that the cyclodextrin-azelaic acid inclusion complex may have good oil control effect. In Comparative Example 1, there was no azelaic acid, and the oil control effect was the worst. In Comparative Example 2, azelaic acid was not included, and the oil control effect was inferior to that of the example. It may be because azelaic acid directly acts on the skin, with greater irritation, affecting the persistence of the oil control effect. The oil control effect of Comparative Example 3 was between that of the example and Comparative Example 2, indicating that HP-β-CD has a certain synergistic effect on azelaic acid, but it is not as significant as that of the inclusion complex.

[0045] As can be seen from Table 3, under the conditions of 4 °C, 25 °C / 60% RH, and 40 °C / 75% RH, the azelaic acid content of Examples 1-3 remained high, and the appearance state changed slightly, indicating that the cyclodextrin-azelaic acid inclusion complex has good stability. In Comparative Example 2, the azelaic acid content decreased significantly, and the appearance state changed significantly. In Comparative Example 3, the degree of decrease in azelaic acid content was between that of the example and Comparative Example 2.

[0046] As can be seen from Table 4, the erythema / edema scores and TEWL values of Examples 1-3 were lower, indicating that the cyclodextrin-azelaic acid inclusion compound had little irritation to the skin. The erythema / edema scores and TEWL values of Comparative Examples 1-3 were higher, indicating greater irritation.

[0047] As can be seen from Table 5, there was no stinging sensation in Examples 1-3, indicating that the cyclodextrin-azelaic acid inclusion compound was mild to the skin. There was no stinging sensation in Comparative Example 1, indicating that when there was no azelaic acid, other components had no significant irritation to the skin. Comparative Example 2 had moderate stinging, indicating that azelaic acid directly acting on the skin without inclusion had greater irritation. Comparative Example 3 had mild stinging, indicating that HP-β-CD had a certain effect of reducing the stinging of azelaic acid. In the skin irritation test and lactic acid stinging test, the cyclodextrin-azelaic acid inclusion compound reduced the direct irritation of azelaic acid to the skin by slowly releasing azelaic acid, and improved the mildness of the product.

[0048] In summary, by adding the cyclodextrin-azelaic acid inclusion compound prepared by the Preparation Examples, the products of Examples 1-3 had a certain oil control effect, and at the same time achieved the effects of slow release, stability and stinging reduction of azelaic acid, improving the performance and safety of the skin care products.
