Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of topical preparations and scalp care technology, specifically a short-contact rinse for treating seborrheic dermatitis and bacterial folliculitis of the scalp. Background Technology
[0002] Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease that frequently occurs in areas rich in sebaceous glands, such as the scalp and face. Its clinical manifestations mainly include erythema, oily scaling, and itching, and may be accompanied by folliculitis, papules, or pustules. The pathogenesis of this disease is related to multiple factors, including excessive sebum secretion, Malassezia colonization, impaired skin barrier function, and individual immune responses. Recurrent flare-ups and scratching can further damage hair follicles, becoming an important factor in inducing or aggravating hair loss.
[0003] Currently, there are three main types of topical shampoos for this type of scalp problem: (1) Traditional Chinese medicine shampoos mainly composed of water extracts or crude extracts of Chinese medicinal herbs such as Sophora flavescens and Phellodendron chinense. However, the content of active ingredients is unstable and the batch consistency is poor, which affects the stability of the therapeutic effect; (2) Antifungal shampoos mainly composed of single chemical components such as ketoconazole and piroctone olamine. Although they are effective in inhibiting Malassezia, they have limited comprehensive improvement effects on complex inflammation, excessive sebum secretion and hair loss; (3) Conventional liquid shampoos have a short stay time on the scalp, and the active ingredients are rinsed off before they can fully exert their effects, resulting in low utilization.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a compound topical formulation was designed that achieves synergistic effects across multiple targets (anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and oil-controlling) and possesses excellent scalp retention properties, thereby resolving the technical problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

While stirring, add sodium olefin sulfonate, cocamidopropyl betaine and decyl glucoside in sequence, and maintain the temperature while stirring for about 15 minutes until all surfactants are completely dissolved, resulting in a clear or slightly turbid solution. (2) Cool the system obtained in step (1) to below 35℃. Add propylene glycol, glycerol, disodium EDTA, phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerol, and stir until evenly mixed. (3) In another container, slowly sprinkle the acrylic crosspolymer (Acrylates / C10-30 AlkylAcrylate Crosspolymer) into approximately 10 times its weight of room temperature purified water and let it stand to allow it to swell fully. Then add the pre-dispersion to the main pot while stirring slowly. (4) At a moderate shear rate, slowly add 10% sodium hydroxide solution to adjust the pH of the system to 5.5±0.3. At this point, the viscosity of the system increases significantly, forming a uniform matrix. (5) Maintain the system temperature below 35℃, and add the total alkaloids of Sophora flavescens, berberine, baicalin, osthol, total phenolic acids of Tanshinone, indirubin, monoammonium glycyrrhizate, and total flavonoids of Smilax glabra in sequence. Stir after each addition to ensure uniform dispersion. Then add piroctone ketone ethanolamine and halcinonide, increase the stirring speed to about 1000 rpm, and continue shearing and stirring for 8 minutes to ensure uniform dispersion of all active ingredients. (6) Add ethylene glycol distearate and use low-speed homogenization stirring until the system exhibits a uniform pearlescent appearance. (7) After vacuum degassing, filter the obtained product through a 100-mesh nylon sieve, and finally fill the light-proof pressure pump bottle with the product.
[0029] 3. Product Properties: The obtained detergent is a white to off-white, pearlescent semi-solid colloid. Its pH value is 5.5, and its viscosity, measured using a Brookfield DV2T viscometer (RV spindle #6, 10 rpm, 25℃), is 4500 mPa·s. After 3 months of accelerated stability testing at 40℃ and 75% relative humidity, the content of its main active ingredient (determined by HPLC) remained above 95% of the initial content, indicating good formulation stability.

Salicylic acid is first partially neutralized with a small amount of sodium hydroxide solution before being added. All active ingredients are added and dispersed sequentially at a temperature below 35°C. Menthol is pre-dissolved in a small amount of propylene glycol and added in the final stage of step (5). The viscosity of the system is finally fine-tuned using sodium chloride (0.5%).
