Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of daily chemicals, and in particular to a composition with photodamage resistance, application thereof, and cosmetics. Background Art

[0002] Preventing skin aging has always been a major concern in skincare. Skin aging can be divided into two basic processes: intrinsic and extrinsic. Studies have shown that over 80% of extrinsic aging is caused by photoaging, characterized by severe wrinkles and pigment changes. Photoaging primarily refers to ultraviolet (UV), visible light, and infrared (IR). Currently, sunscreens are primarily focused on protecting against UV rays, particularly UVB and UVA, which have wavelengths between 280 and 400 nm.

[0003] Anti-photodamage cosmetics are a hot topic in the current market, as can be seen in the following literature:

[0004] The patent application with publication number CN111557875A is a skin care composition that resists light pollution and light damage, its preparation method and application. It discloses that ergothioneine, matsutake mushroom extract, ectoine (ectoine), nasturtium extract and hyaluronic acid substances can play a role in resisting light damage. It is further explained in the description that ectoine is a cell all-round protector and an excellent anti-stress protection molecule. It is a multifunctional active ingredient that has the function of stabilizing the protein hydration layer, protecting enzymes, DNA and other biological macromolecules and cell membrane structures, and can help cells and animals and plants resist various adverse environments such as freezing, drought, high temperature, high salt, and radiation.

[0005] The patent application with publication number CN118634174A, which is titled "A sunscreen synergistic composition with anti-blue light and light damage repair effects and its application", discloses that Spirulina MAXIMA extract contains photolyase, an enzyme that can repair DNA by absorbing blue-violet light, thereby reducing damage from ultraviolet rays.

[0006] During the research on Ectoin and Spirulina maxima extract, we found that the anti-photodamage effect of cosmetics can be further improved by combining the substances. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a composition with resistance to light damage, which comprises a ribonucleic acid solution, ectoine, and a spirulina extract solution as core components, and has a good anti-light damage effect. The sample is sent to a third-party testing agency for a zebrafish embryo light-damaged cell apoptosis test, and the test results show that the effect of the present invention is better than the cell apoptosis effect of ergothioneine at the same concentration. At the same time, it can be seen from the evaluation of the skin moisture content improvement effect that the composition of the present invention can better repair and replenish the skin barrier.

[0008] At the same time, the invention also discloses the application of the composition and cosmetics.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses:

[0010] A composition with photodamage resistance, comprising a ribonucleic acid solution, ectoine, and a spirulina maxima extract solution, wherein the weight ratio of the ribonucleic acid solution, ectoine, and spirulina maxima extract solution is 60-80:10-30:1-10;

[0011] The concentration of ribonucleic acid in the ribonucleic acid solution is 3.5 wt%;

[0012] The concentration of the Spirulina maxima extract in the Spirulina maxima extract solution is 20 wt %.

[0013] In the present invention, the efficacy of the ribonucleic acid solution is as follows: the ribonucleic acid originating from the yeast cytoplasm is a small molecule active ingredient refined after biological enzymatic hydrolysis, which is more easily absorbed and utilized by the skin, promotes fibroblast proliferation, and stimulates cell vitality.

[0014] The efficacy of the Spirulina maxima extract solution is as follows: ultraviolet rays damage DNA by forming pyrimidine dimers (CPD) to cut off the nucleic acid chain; Spirulina maxima extract repairs DNA by directly decomposing CPD.

[0015] The combination of the above three exhibits a very obvious anti-photodamage effect, and the possible synergistic mechanism is:

[0016] Tetrahydropyrimidine carboxylic acid (TECA) blocks UVA-induced second messenger release and AP-2 activation, thereby reducing nuclear expression of pro-inflammatory factors such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and mitochondrial DNA mutations. It inhibits cellular aging in keratinocytes and fibroblasts, thereby counteracting UVA-induced and accelerated skin aging. Ectohydrogen methylpyrimidine carboxylic acid (TECA), derived from RNA in yeast cytoplasm and refined through enzymatic hydrolysis, is a small molecule active ingredient that is more readily absorbed by the skin, promoting fibroblast proliferation and stimulating cell viability. UV damage to DNA occurs by forming pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), which sever nucleic acid chains. Spirulina maxima extract repairs DNA by directly decomposing CPDs.

[0017] The combination of the above three can achieve a better anti-photodamage effect and repair the skin barrier.

[0018] In the above-mentioned composition for preventing light damage, the weight ratio of the ribonucleic acid solution, ectoine, and Spirulina maxima extract solution is 65-75:15-25:3-7.

[0019] At the same time, the present invention also discloses the use of the above composition in preparing cosmetics with anti-photodamage properties.

[0020] In addition, the present invention also discloses a cosmetic having anti-photodamage effect, which contains the composition as described above.

[0021] The above-mentioned cosmetic contains 1 to 5 wt% of the composition.

[0022] This application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The composition of the present invention uses ribonucleic acid solution, ectoine, and spirulina maxima extract solution as core components, and can achieve good anti-light damage effect. Samples were sent to a third-party testing agency for zebrafish embryo light-damaged cell apoptosis test, and the test results showed that the effect of the composition of the present invention is better than the cell apoptosis effect of ergothioneine at the same concentration.

[0039] 1. Performance testing and moisturizing test

[0040] 1.1 Test method:

[0041] By recruiting 35 healthy Chinese male and female subjects with arm stratum corneum moisture content ranging from 15 to 45 (Corneometer Unit, CU), the changes in skin stratum corneum moisture content before and after product use were used to evaluate the efficacy of the sample ingredients in moisturizing cosmetics, providing a basis for the product's moisturizing efficacy claims.

[0042] 1.2 Experimental basis and source

[0043] QB / T 4256-2011 "Guidelines for the Evaluation of Moisturizing Efficacy of Cosmetics"

[0044] 1.3 Instruments and Equipment

[0045] Corneometer CM 825 skin moisture meter (Courage+Khazaka, Germany)

[0046] 1.4 Test environment requirements

[0047] The test environment temperature is 20℃-22℃, humidity is 40%-60%, and real-time monitoring is performed.

[0048] 1.5 Sample:

[0049] The above examples and comparative examples were diluted at a volume ratio of 1:50, and the diluted samples were used for

[0050] The subjects were randomly divided into seven groups, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, with 5 subjects in each group. A left and right half-face comparison method was used, with placebo applied to the left side of the face. The subjects in group A were smeared with the diluted sample of Example 1 on their right face; the subjects in group B were smeared with the diluted sample of Example 2 on their right face; the subjects in group C were smeared with the diluted sample of Example 3 on their right face; the subjects in group D were smeared with the diluted sample of Comparative Example 1 on their right face; the subjects in group E were smeared with the diluted sample of Comparative Example 2 on their right face; the subjects in group F were smeared with the diluted sample of Comparative Example 3 on their right face; and the subjects in group G were smeared with the diluted sample of Comparative Example 4 on their right face.

[0051] Before the test, the subjects cleaned their faces uniformly for 30 minutes, and the stratum corneum water content of the apple muscle area of ​​the left and right half of the face was measured as the initial value. After that, the placebo and experimental group essences were applied, and the stratum corneum water content of the skin was measured again 4 hours after use.

[0052] Calculation formula

[0053] Relative increase rate of skin moisture content (%) = (skin moisture content of experimental group - skin moisture content of control group) / skin moisture content of control group × 100;

[0054] The test results can be found in Table 2;

[0055] Table 2 Test results

[0056]

[0057] Result analysis:

[0058] It can be seen from Examples 1 to 3 that the relative growth rate of skin moisture content in Example 2 of the present invention is the highest, indicating that the composition of the present invention has a rapid repair effect.

[0059] Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3 show that the RNA solution has a certain effect on repairing and replenishing the skin barrier, but it needs to be used in combination with either ectoine or Spirulina maxima extract solution to show a more obvious effect. Comparative Example 4 shows from one aspect that, from the perspective of the relative growth rate of skin moisture content, the synergistic effect of ectoine and Spirulina maxima extract solution is more significant;

[0060] In terms of comprehensive performance, the effect of Example 2 is the most significant. We believe that this is the result of the synergistic relationship between the RNA solution and either the ectoine or the Spirulina maxima extract solution.

[0061] Cosmetic Safety Testing

[0062] The samples of Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3 were subjected to cosmetic safety testing;

[0063] Detection method:

[0065] Experimental animals: 4 ordinary New Zealand rabbits;

[0066] 24h before the test, the hair on both sides of the back of New Zealand rabbits was sheared off, and the hair removal area on both sides was about 3cm × 3cm, with the right side as the coating area and the left side as the blank control area. 0.5mL of Example 7 sample was measured respectively, evenly applied to the skin of the animal coating area, and applied once a day for 14 consecutive days. From the second day, hair was sheared before each application, and the residual test substance was removed with pure water after 1h of observation. The results were scored by the skin irritation / corrosion test table 1 of "Safety Technical Specifications for Cosmetics" (2015 edition). The average score of each animal per day was calculated by the following formula, and the skin irritation intensity was judged by the skin irritation / corrosion test table 2 of "Safety Technical Specifications for Cosmetics" (2015 edition).

[0067] Average score per animal per day = (∑ erythema and edema score / number of animals tested) / 14
