Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cosmetics, and in particular to a scalp pre-washing composition and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The diversification of people's lifestyles and diets, coupled with the segmentation of cleansing products, has led to a wide variety of cleansing products. In particular, the emergence of dual-phase cleansing oils in recent years has optimized makeup removal efficiency while becoming a representative of gentle cleansing products.

[0003] As consumers gain a deeper understanding of scalp cleansing and care, oil-control and dirt-removing head cleansing products and hair follicle cleansing products are becoming more and more common. However, all current scalp cleansing products use the micellar structure of surfactants to remove dirt from the scalp, often aiming to double cleanse the scalp and hair. While removing dirt, they also place a great burden on the scalp. Unlike hair, the scalp contains various ingredients, such as glycerol fatty acids, squalene, cholesterol, ceramides, fatty acids, glycerol, amino acids, and proteins. Excessive amounts of surfactants, or improper selection of surfactants, will not only fail to remove dirt, but will also accelerate the loss of beneficial lipids on the scalp, causing secondary damage to the scalp. In addition, the current formula design of conventional scalp cleansing solutions (such as shampoos and scalp cleansers) has inherent defects in order to meet the scalp's demand for low viscosity (for easy application and rinsing): 1. Excessive free surfactants: To ensure cleaning power, surfactants (such as sulfates and amino acids) in the formula are mostly present in the form of monomers or small micelles. The free state accounts for a high proportion and cannot form stable ordered aggregates; 2. Micellar structure defects: The low viscosity system limits the self-assembly ability of micelles, the coverage area is limited, and the encapsulation and solubilization efficiency of oils (such as sebum and keratin debris) on the scalp surface is low; 3. Excessive degreasing power and irritation: Free surfactants can easily over-penetrate the scalp stratum corneum, damaging the skin barrier (such as dissolving inter-cuticular lipids). At the same time, due to the lack of a buffering mechanism, they directly interact with scalp proteins, leading to problems such as excessive degreasing, dryness, and itching. 4. Residual risk: Free surfactants are difficult to rinse completely, and residual ingredients continue to irritate the scalp. Long-term use may cause inflammation or sensitivity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems of existing scalp pre-wash compositions, the present invention provides a scalp pre-wash composition and a preparation method thereof. The scalp pre-wash composition can effectively remove silicone oil flocculation and deposition on the scalp caused by conventional shampoo, and will not cause dryness and cracking of the scalp epidermis due to dryness even after long-term continuous use, thereby inhibiting the occurrence of dandruff caused by dryness.

[0005] A scalp pre-wash composition comprises the following components by mass fraction: 0.1-20% liquid oil, 0.5-20% nonionic surfactant, 1-10% hair surfactant, and 1-80% polyol and / or 1-30% sugar alcohol, wherein the sum of the mass fractions of the above components does not exceed 100%, and the remainder is filler.

[0006] Furthermore, the scalp pre-wash composition comprises the following components by mass fraction: Liquid oil 5%, nonionic surfactant 20%, hair surfactant 10% and polyol 60% and / or sugar alcohol 30%. The sum of the mass fractions of the above components shall not exceed 100%, and the remainder is filler.

[0007] Furthermore, the liquid oil is any one or more combinations of octyl siloxane, dimethicone, caprylic / capric triglyceride, dicaprylyl carbonate, and coconut oil caprylate / caprate.

[0008] Furthermore, the nonionic surfactant is a combination of any one or more of PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-80 hydrogenated castor oil, sorbitol polyether-40 tetraoleate, sorbitol polyether-40 tetraisostearate, PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate, PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, PEG-6 caprylic / capric glycerides, polysorbate-60, polysorbate-80, polysorbate-85, cocamide MEA, and cocamide methyl MEA.

[0009] Furthermore, the hair surfactant is a combination of any one or more of lauramidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl betaine, coco betaine, cocamide hydroxysulfopropyl betaine, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, disodium lauroamphodiacetate, sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium cocoamidopropionate, and decyl glucoside.

[0010] Furthermore, the polyol is a combination of any one or more of glycerol, propylene glycol, 1-3 trimethylene glycol, 1-3 butylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol.

[0011] Furthermore, the sugar alcohol is any one or more combinations of sorbitol and erythritol.

[0012] Furthermore, the filler is water.

[0013] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the scalp pre-wash composition, comprising: (1) Heat the liquid oil and nonionic surfactant to 70℃~85℃ for pre-dissolution; (2) Add polyols and sugar alcohols and stir evenly; (3) Add water and stir evenly; (4) Adding a hair surfactant, heating and dissolving it uniformly, and then cooling it to room temperature to obtain the scalp pre-wash composition, wherein the heating temperature is 70°C to 85°C.

[0014] Compared to existing technologies, the scalp pre-wash composition and its preparation method of the present invention utilize the principle of oil dissolving oil, employ a bicontinuous phase / liquid crystal formulation system, and combine surfactants for hair and skin with conventional beauty serum ingredients. This allows subjects to experience the same rich lather as hair cleansing products while gently and efficiently cleansing the scalp and hair follicles, effectively removing silicone oil flocculation deposited on the scalp by conventional shampoos. Furthermore, long-term continuous use will not cause dryness or cracking of the scalp epidermis due to dryness, and inhibits the occurrence of dandruff caused by dryness.

[0054] 7) Repeat the above test at least twice. Be sure to thoroughly clean the inner wall of the instrument before each test to prevent affecting the accuracy of the data. At this time, the reading should be based on the approximate average height of the foam surface.

[0055] The experimental results are as follows: Table 3

[0056] Furthermore, all the scalp pre-wash compositions in this example were distributed to 10 groups of subjects for use testing and evaluation.

[0057] in: 1. Ten groups of subjects, 30 in each, completed the test, and 30 had valid test data. Subject Description: Aged 18-50, with sensitive scalps, dry scalps, and dandruff. Validity Criteria for Test Items: Five response options were set: "1. Strongly Agree," "2. Agree," "3. Uncertain," "4. Disagree," and "5. Strongly Disagree." The cumulative percentage of responses to options "1" and "2" was calculated as the satisfaction rate.

Good cleaning effect 2. Collect the satisfaction evaluation of each subject on the project according to the above rules, fill in the questionnaire, and judge whether the product has the effect of removing dandruff based on the percentage of satisfaction (number of people who strongly agree and agree).

[0059] 3. Results and Conclusions After 28 days of using the product, 1. 100.0% of the subjects felt that Product A had the effect of reducing dandruff. 2. 96.7% of the subjects felt that Product A had a moisturizing effect on the scalp; 3. 96.7% of the subjects felt that Product A relieved scalp tension after use; 4. 100.0% of the subjects felt that the product had a good cleaning effect; The test results were obtained from 30 groups of subjects with sensitive scalp, allergic scalp, dry scalp and dry dandruff, indicating that the scalp pre-wash composition has the effect of removing dandruff and moisturizing.

[0060] Furthermore, all the scalp pre-wash compositions in this example and the commercially available products in the above-mentioned comparative examples 1 and 2 were distributed to 10 groups of subjects for use testing and evaluation.

[0061] After four and eight weeks of use, scalp photographs were taken for each group of subjects. The measured values and differences at each time point were tested for normal distribution. If a normal distribution was observed, a t-test was performed. If a non-normal distribution was observed, a Wilcoxon test was performed for before-and-after comparisons, and a Mann-Whitney test was performed for between-group comparisons. A two-sample rank sum test was used for before-and-after comparisons, and an independent sample t-test or rank sum test was used for between-group comparisons. The obtained results were compared with those obtained using commercially available products to determine the moisturizing and anti-dandruff rates. The corresponding results are shown in Table 4: Table 4

[0062] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned scalp pre-wash composition, comprising: (1) Heat the liquid oil and nonionic surfactant to 70℃~85℃ for pre-dissolution; (2) Add polyols and sugar alcohols and stir evenly; (3) Add water and stir evenly; (4) Adding a hair surfactant, heating and dissolving it uniformly, and then cooling it to room temperature to obtain the scalp pre-wash composition, wherein the heating temperature is 70°C to 85°C.

[0063] See also Figure 1 , showing the unique liquid crystal structure of the scalp pre-wash composition in this embodiment under polarized light. In this embodiment, a breakthrough improvement in scalp cleansing is achieved by constructing a liquid crystal phase or a bicontinuous phase structure, specifically: 1. Self-assembled large-area micelle network to improve cleaning efficiency and targeting Liquid crystal structures are formed by self-assembly of surfactants, co-surfactants (such as polyols, sugar alcohols) and water through intermolecular forces, and have an ordered layered or network structure: The micelle size can reach micrometers, forming a continuous three-dimensional network that can cover a large area of the scalp surface. Through the "wrapping-stripping" mechanism, it can effectively capture oil and dirt and avoid the disordered penetration of free surfactants. The bilayer structure of the liquid crystal phase is similar to the lipid arrangement of the scalp stratum corneum, and can target and absorb sebum through biomimetic effects (see cleaning experiment). Its solubilization ability is improved compared to conventional small micelles, and it only targets excess oil, avoiding damage to the healthy stratum corneum.

[0064] 2. Reduce the content of free surfactants to achieve gentle cleansing The stable framework of the liquid crystal structure can fix the surfactant in the ordered aggregates, minimizing the concentration of free surfactant: The immobilized surfactants perform their cleaning function through collective action, reducing direct contact with scalp proteins; Referring to the experiment on zein, the denaturation rate of the liquid crystal system of the present invention on protein is extremely low, while the denaturation rate of conventional cleaning liquid is as high as 90%, proving that its irritation is significantly reduced.

[0065] 3. Balance low viscosity with structural stability, breaking the contradiction between "viscosity and efficacy" In conventional systems, "low viscosity" and "ordered structure" are difficult to coexist. However, this embodiment achieves a balance through the following design: Low molecular weight polyols and sugar alcohols are used to adjust the interlayer spacing of the liquid crystal phase, so that the system viscosity is controlled at 500-1000mPa•s (meeting the needs of scalp use) while maintaining the integrity of the liquid crystal and bicontinuous structure; The shear-thinning properties of the liquid crystal phase (viscosity decreases when sheared by external force and recovers after standing) ensure fluidity during application, and it is not easy to demulsify during rinsing, reducing residue.

[0066] This embodiment breaks through the technical contradictions of "low viscosity and high cleaning power" and "efficient cleaning and mildness" by introducing liquid crystals and bicontinuous phase self-assembly structures. By utilizing the ordered aggregate characteristics of the liquid crystal phase, the "destructive cleaning" of surfactants is transformed into a bionic cleaning mode of "targeted wrapping-gentle peeling", fundamentally solving the problems of excessive free surfactants, strong irritation and high residual risk in existing products, and providing a new solution for long-term care of people with sensitive scalps and oily scalps.

[0067] In summary, the scalp pre-cleanse composition and its preparation method in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention utilize the principle of oil dissolving oil, employ a bicontinuous phase / liquid crystal formulation system, and combine hair and skin surfactants with conventional beauty serum ingredients. This allows subjects to experience the same rich lather as hair cleansing products while gently and efficiently cleansing the scalp and hair follicles. It effectively removes silicone oil deposits deposited on the scalp by conventional shampoos, and even with long-term continuous use, it prevents dryness and cracking of the scalp epidermis due to dryness, thereby suppressing the occurrence of dandruff caused by dryness.
