[0019] As shown in the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 Example 1 The present application provides a natural herbal shampoo with hair growth and hair fixing functions and a preparation method thereof, and each raw material is accurately weighed or measured according to the following weight and volume: Plant herbal extract raw material: Gleditsia sinensis: 200g, Chinese soapberry: 250g, tea bran: 100g (preloaded into a clean gauze bag), Angelica sinensis: 50g, Platycladus orientalis: 200g, mulberry leaf: 30g, Ligustrum lucidum: 20g, prepared Radix Polygoni Multiflori: 60g, dried ginger: 20g, mugwort leaf: 30g, Cortex Moutan: 30g, Eclipta prostrata: 20g, Radix Sophorae: 20g, Sophora flavescens: 20g, Cnidium monnieri: 20g, Ligusticum chuanxiong: 20g, Radix Rehmanniae: 20g, Fructus Kochiae: 20g, bitter orange: 30g, Mentha haplocalyx: 20g, Hibiscus leaf: 30g, Drynaria fortunei: 20g, white mulberry bark: 20g, Phellodendron amurense: 20g, Cortex Dictamni: 20g, Ganoderma lucidum: 50g, Radix Ginseng: 20g.
[0020] Additive and essential oil raw material: Amino acid thickening agent: 100g, amino acid foaming agent: 800ml, glycerol: 200ml, amino acid moisturizing agent: 150g, hyaluronic acid stock solution: 80g, polyol antibacterial agent: 10g, phenoxyethanol: 5g, lemongrass essential oil: 2ml, rosemary essential oil: 2ml, tea tree essential oil: 2ml, ginger essential oil: 2ml.
[0021] Other auxiliary materials: Drinking water: total amount not less than 11000ml, fresh ginger slices: 300g, 80 mesh screen and cotton filter bag.
[0022] The natural herbal shampoo with hair growth and hair fixing functions is prepared according to the following steps: S1, raw material pretreatment and soaking: place all the above-listed plant herbal raw materials (except tea bran) in a washing container, and rinse once with flowing drinking water to remove surface dust. Place the washed herbal raw materials and the tea bran preloaded into the gauze bag together in a stainless steel material boiling pot with a capacity not less than 21 liters. Add 7000ml of drinking water to the pot to ensure that all the raw materials are completely submerged. Seal and soak overnight at room temperature (about 25℃), and the soaking time is not less than 10 hours.
[0023] S2, primary decoction and extraction: after the soaking is completed, the soap nuts, ganoderma lucidum, and ginseng in the pot are fished out and cut into small pieces of about 1 cm square or fragments with sterilized scissors. The soap nuts are cracked gently with a tool. All the processed raw materials are put back into the pot, and 300 g of fresh ginger slices are added. The pot is placed on the heat source, and the fire is first turned to high to heat the medicinal liquid to boiling, and then immediately turned to low to maintain a state of slight boiling for 2 hours. After the decoction is completed, the fire is turned off. While hot, the medicinal liquid is filtered preliminarily with a 80-mesh sieve, and the filtered medicinal liquid is transferred to a clean container with a capacity of not less than 10 L. The remaining medicinal residues are temporarily stored in the original pot or another container.
[0024] S3, secondary decoction and extraction: 4000 ml of drinking water is added to the pot containing the medicinal residues. After boiling, the fire is turned to low to maintain a state of slight boiling for 2 hours. After the decoction is completed, the fire is turned off. The medicinal liquid filtered for the second time is filtered again with a 80-mesh sieve, and the second filtered medicinal liquid is combined with the first medicinal liquid obtained in step S2 in the same clean container.
[0025] S4, fine filtration: the combined medicinal liquid is filtered through a pre-wetted cotton filter bag. The filtering process is repeated 4 times until the filtered medicinal liquid is clear and transparent, and no small particles or suspended matter is observed with the naked eye. The total volume (V1) of the obtained pure traditional Chinese medicine juice is recorded, and the total mass (M1) thereof is weighed. The filtered medicinal residues are properly reserved for remedial purposes.
[0026] S5, concentration and thickening: all the pure traditional Chinese medicine juice obtained in step S4 is transferred to a clean stainless steel pot with a known tare weight (W0). The pot is placed on the heat source, and the fire is turned to high to heat the medicinal liquid to boiling to start the concentration. The boiling state is maintained during the concentration, and the medicinal liquid is stirred in time to prevent sticking to the bottom. When it is observed that the volume of the medicinal liquid is significantly reduced, the pot is frequently taken off the heat source and weighed on an electronic scale with an accuracy of ±1 g to measure the total weight (M2). When the total weight satisfies the formula M2-W0=4000 g, the end point of the concentration is reached. The fire is immediately turned to the minimum. 100 g of amino acid thickening agent is uniformly added to the concentrated liquid, and a silica gel spatula is used to continuously and rapidly stir for 3 minutes until the thickening agent is completely dissolved and the system is uniform. The heating is stopped.
[0027] S6, addition of a foaming agent and preliminary cooling: after step S5 is completed, 800 ml of an amino acid foaming agent is immediately added to the pot. The minimum fire is turned on again to heat, and the medicinal liquid is continuously and uniformly stirred for 3 minutes during the heating to ensure that the foaming agent is completely dispersed and dissolved. Then the fire is turned off, and the pot is covered with the lid half on to allow it to cool naturally. The liquid temperature is monitored with a probe-type thermometer.
[0028] S7, Add moisturizing ingredients: when the temperature of the liquid medicine drops to 60°C, 200ml of glycerol and 150g of amino acid moisturizing agent are added to the pot in turn. After adding each raw material, it needs to be stirred until completely mixed and uniform, and then the next step is added.
[0029] S8, Final addition and product preparation: move the pot to a room temperature environment (or summer air-conditioned room) and let it cool naturally. When the temperature of the liquid medicine drops to below 40°C, the final addition is made. Add 80g of hyaluronic acid stock solution, 10g of polyol antibacterial agent, 5g of phenoxyethanol, 2ml of lemon grass essential oil, 2ml of rosemary essential oil, 2ml of tea tree essential oil and 2ml of ginger essential oil in turn. Each component needs to be thoroughly stirred to ensure complete mixing. After all the ingredients are added and mixed evenly, the natural herbal shampoo product is obtained.
[0030] S9, Filling and storage: continue to cool the product shampoo obtained in step S8 at room temperature until it is completely cooled (close to room temperature). Use a funnel to fill it into clean, dry 300ml capacity PET plastic bottles, about 300ml per bottle. A total of about 17 to 18 bottles can be filled. Immediately after filling, screw the cap tightly.
[0031] The prepared shampoo is recommended to be stored in a 4°C refrigerator cold environment, which can have a shelf life of up to 6 months; stored at room temperature in a cool and dry place, the shelf life is about 3 months.
[0032] Example Two: This example is basically the same as the previous example, the difference is that the following weights and volumes of each raw material are accurately weighed or measured: Plant herbal extract raw materials: Soap: 190g, Chinese date: 260g, tea chaff: 95g (preloaded into clean gauze bag), Angelica: 48g, Platycladus orientalis: 190g, mulberry leaf: 28g, privet fruit: 18g, prepared fo-ti-tung: 58g, ginger (dry): 18g, wormwood leaf: 28g, cortex moutan: 28g, eclipta: 18g, Radix Sophorae: 18g, Sophora flavescens: 18g, Chuanxiong: 18g, raw land: 18g, groundcherry: 18g, bitter orange: 28g, mint: 18g, hibiscus leaf: 28g, bone fracture: 18g, mulberry bark: 18g, Huangbai: 18g, Baixianpi: 18g, Ganoderma: 48g, ginseng: 22g.
[0033] Additives and essential oil raw materials: Amino acid thickening agent: 105 g, amino acid foaming agent: 780 ml, glycerin: 190 ml, amino acid moisturizing agent: 145 g, hyaluronic acid stock solution: 78 g, polyol antibacterial agent: 9.5 g, phenoxyethanol: 5.5 g, lemongrass essential oil: 1.8 ml, rosemary essential oil: 2.2 ml, tea tree essential oil: 1.8 ml, ginger essential oil: 2.2 ml.
[0034] Other auxiliary materials: Drinking water: not less than 11000 ml in total, fresh ginger slices: 300 g, 80 mesh screen and cotton filter bag.
[0035] The preparation process of this example is the same as that of Example 1, and the specific steps are as follows: S1, raw material pretreatment and soaking: place all the plant herbal raw materials listed above (except tea chaff) in a washing container and rinse once with flowing drinking water to remove surface dust. Place the washed herbal raw materials and tea chaff previously loaded into a gauze bag together in a stainless steel boiling pot with a capacity of not less than 21 liters. Add 7000 ml of drinking water to the pot to ensure that all the raw materials are completely submerged. Seal and soak overnight at room temperature (about 25°C), with a soaking time of not less than 10 hours.
[0036] S2, first decoction and extraction: after soaking is complete, remove the soap nuts, ganoderma lucidum and ginseng from the pot and cut them into small pieces or fragments about 1 cm square with sterilized scissors. Gently crack the soap nuts with a tool. Put all the processed raw materials back into the pot and add 300 g of fresh ginger slices. Place the pot on a heat source and heat it to boiling with a large fire, then immediately switch to a small fire to maintain a slightly boiling state, and continue to decoct for 2 hours. After decoction is complete, turn off the heat. While hot, use an 80 mesh screen to preliminarily filter the medicinal liquid and transfer it to a clean container with a capacity of not less than 10 liters. The remaining dregs are temporarily stored in the original pot or another container.
[0037] S3, second decoction and extraction: add 4000 ml of drinking water to the pot containing the dregs. Boil with a large fire and then switch to a small fire to maintain a slightly boiling state and continue to decoct for 2 hours. After decoction is complete, turn off the heat. Again use an 80 mesh screen to filter the medicinal liquid, and combine the second filtered medicinal liquid with the first medicinal liquid obtained in step S2 in the same clean container.
[0038] S4, fine filtration: filter the combined medicinal liquid through a pre-wetted cotton filter bag. This filtration process is repeated 4 times until the filtered medicinal liquid is clear and transparent, with no visible small particles or suspended matter remaining. The filtered dregs are properly preserved.
[0039] S5, Concentration and Thickening: Transfer all the purified medicinal juice obtained in step S4 into a clean stainless steel pot with a known tare weight (W0). Place the pot on a heat source and heat it up to boiling. Start the concentration process. Maintain the boiling state during the concentration process and stir in time to prevent sticking to the bottom. When a significant reduction in the volume of the medicinal liquid is observed, frequently remove the pot from the heat source and place it on an electronic scale with an accuracy of ±1 gram to weigh the total weight (M2). When the total weight meets the formula M2-W0=4000 grams, it is the end point of the concentration. Immediately adjust the heat to the minimum. Uniformly add 105 grams of amino acid thickening agent to the concentrated liquid, and use a silicone spatula to continuously and quickly stir for 3 minutes until the thickening agent is completely dissolved and the system is uniform. Stop heating.
[0040] S6, Add Foaming Agent and Preliminary Cooling: Immediately after step S5 is completed, add 780 milliliters of amino acid foaming agent to the pot. Reheat with the minimum heat turned on and continuously and uniformly stir the medicinal liquid for 3 minutes during heating to ensure that the foaming agent is completely dispersed and dissolved. Then turn off the heat and cover the pot with the lid half closed to allow it to cool naturally. Monitor the liquid temperature with a probe thermometer.
[0041] S7, Add Moisturizing Ingredients: When the temperature of the medicinal liquid drops to 60°C, add 190 milliliters of glycerol and 145 grams of amino acid moisturizing agent to the pot in sequence. After adding each raw material, stir until completely mixed and uniform before proceeding to the next step.
[0042] S8, Final Addition and Product Preparation: Move the pot to a room temperature environment (or summer air-conditioned room) and let it cool naturally. When the temperature of the medicinal liquid drops to below 40°C, perform the final addition. Add 78 grams of hyaluronic acid stock solution, 9.5 grams of polyol antibacterial agent, 5.5 grams of phenoxyethanol, 1.8 milliliters of lemon grass essential oil, 2.2 milliliters of rosemary essential oil, 1.8 milliliters of tea tree essential oil, and 2.2 milliliters of ginger essential oil in sequence. After adding each ingredient, stir thoroughly to ensure complete mixing. After all the ingredients are added and mixed evenly, the natural herbal shampoo product is obtained.
[0043] S9, Filling and Storage: Continue to cool the product shampoo obtained in step S8 at room temperature until it is completely cooled (close to room temperature). Use a funnel to fill it into clean, dry 500 milliliter capacity PET plastic bottles, about 500 milliliters per bottle. A total of about 10 to 11 bottles can be filled. Immediately after filling, screw on the bottle cap.
[0044] The prepared shampoo is recommended to be stored in a 4°C refrigerator cold storage environment, with a shelf life of up to 6 months; stored at room temperature in a cool and dry place, with a shelf life of about 3 months.
[0045] Example Three: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that the following weights and volumes of each raw material are accurately weighed or measured: Plant herbal extract raw materials: Ginkgo biloba 200g, Chinese wax 250g, tea bran 100g (silk bag), Angelica sinensis 50g, Platycladus orientalis 200g, mulberry leaf 30g, Ligustrum lucidum 20g, prepared Radix Polygoni multiflori 60g, ginger (dry product) 20g, Artemisia argyi 30g, Cortex Moutan 30g, Eclipta prostrata 20g, Radix Sophorae Tonkinensis 20g, Sophora flavescens 20g, Cnidium monnieri 20g, Ligusticum chuanxiong 20g, Radix Rehmanniae 20g, Fructus Kochiae 20g, bitter orange 30g, Mentha haplocalyx 20g, Hibiscus syriacus 30g, Drynaria fortunei 20g, mulberry bark 20g, Phellodendron amurense 20g, Dictamnus dasycarpus 20g, Ganoderma lucidum 50g, Radix Ginseng 20g.
[0046] Additives and essential oil raw materials: Amino acid thickening agent 100g, amino acid foaming agent 800ml, glycerol 200ml, amino acid moisturizing agent 150g, hyaluronic acid stock solution 80g, polyol antibacterial agent 10g, phenoxyethanol 5g, lemongrass essential oil 2ml, rosemary essential oil 2ml, tea tree essential oil 2ml, ginger essential oil 2ml.
[0047] Other auxiliary materials: The total amount of drinking water is not less than 11000ml, fresh ginger slices 300g, 80 mesh screen and cotton filter bag.
[0048] The preparation process of this example is based on Example 1, and the two key parameters of "concentration end point mass" and "filtering times" are adjusted to show the adjustability of the process. The specific steps are as follows: S1, raw material pretreatment and soaking: the operation is exactly the same as step S1 of Example 1.
[0049] S2, first decoction and extraction: the operation is exactly the same as step S2 of Example 1.
[0050] S3, second decoction and extraction: the operation is exactly the same as step S3 of Example 1.
[0051] S4, fine filtration: the combined medicinal liquid is filtered through a pre-wetted cotton filter bag. This filtration process is repeated 3 times. After the third filtration is completed, a small amount of filtrate is taken in a transparent glass dish and observed under sufficient light. It is confirmed that the filtrate is clear and transparent, and no obvious suspended particles or precipitates are observed with the naked eye. It has been verified that the traditional Chinese medicine juice obtained after 3 times of filtration has basically met the process requirement of "no residue", which can meet the subsequent production. The dregs are reserved.
[0052] S5, Concentration and thickening: Transfer the purified medicinal juice from step S4 to a clean stainless steel pot with known tare weight (W0). Place the pot on a heat source and heat it to boiling. Maintain boiling and stir occasionally during the concentration process. When the volume of the medicinal liquid is significantly reduced, weigh the total weight (M2) on an electronic scale (accuracy ± 1 gram) frequently. Stop the concentration when the total weight meets the formula M2-W0=4500 grams. Immediately adjust the heat to the minimum. Uniformly add 100 grams of amino acid thickening agent to the concentrated liquid while continuously stirring rapidly for 3 minutes until the thickening agent is completely dissolved and the system is uniform. Stop heating.
[0053] Description: This step sets the concentration endpoint mass to 4500 grams (i.e. 4.5L), rather than 4000 grams in Example One, to illustrate that the concentration endpoint can be flexibly set within a certain range (such as 4000-4500 grams).
[0054] S6, Add foaming agent and initial cooling: Immediately after step S5 is completed, add 800 milliliters of amino acid foaming agent to the pot. Reheat with the minimum heat turned on and continue to stir the medicinal liquid uniformly and continuously for 4 minutes (extend 1 minute to accommodate the higher volume and viscosity of the concentrated liquid) to ensure that the foaming agent is completely dispersed and dissolved. Then turn off the heat and naturally cool the pot with the lid half closed, monitoring the liquid temperature.
[0055] S7, Add moisturizing ingredients: When the temperature of the medicinal liquid drops to 60°C, add 200 milliliters of glycerol and 150 grams of amino acid moisturizing agent to the pot in turn. Stir each ingredient until it is completely mixed and uniform.
[0056] S8, Final addition and product preparation: Move the pot to a room temperature environment and let it cool naturally. When the temperature of the medicinal liquid drops to below 40°C, add 80 grams of hyaluronic acid stock solution, 10 grams of polyol antibacterial agent, 5 grams of phenoxyethanol, 2 milliliters of lemon grass essential oil, 2 milliliters of rosemary essential oil, 2 milliliters of tea tree essential oil, and 2 milliliters of fresh ginger essential oil in turn. Stir each ingredient thoroughly to ensure complete mixing, resulting in the finished shampoo.
[0057] S9, Filling and storage: Fill the finished shampoo after it has cooled completely. The total amount of the finished product is slightly more than that of Example One, which can be filled into about 19 bottles of 300 milliliters or 11-12 bottles of 500 milliliters. The storage conditions are the same as those in Example One: refrigerated for 6 months, and at room temperature in a cool place for 3 months.
[0058] Example Four: This example is basically the same as the previous example, with the difference being that the following weights and volumes of each raw material are accurately weighed or measured: Plant herbal extract raw materials: Gleditsia sinensis L: 200g, Sapindus delavayi Franch: 250g, tea chaff: 100g (pre-packed in clean gauze bag), Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels: 50g, Biota orientalis (Franch.) Dandy: 200g, Polygonum multiflorum Thunb: 60g, Zingiber officinale Roscoe (dried product): 30g (increased dosage to partially compensate for omitted pungent and warm ingredients), Artemisia argyi Levl. et Vant: 30g, Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge: 20g, Sophora flavescens Ait: 20g, Mentha haplocalyx Briq: 20g, Ganoderma lucidum Karst: 50g, Panax ginseng C.A.Meyer: 20g.
[0059] Description: 15 ingredients, including Folium Mori, Ligustri Lucidi Fructus, Cortex Moutan, Eclipta prostrata L., Rhizoma Bistortae, Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cuss, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Rehmanniae Radix, Kochiae Fructus, Ilicis latifolii Folium, Drynaria fortunei (Hook.) J. Sm., Cortex Mori, Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex, Dictamnus dasycarpus Turcz, and Borneol, are omitted in this formula, while the above-mentioned 13 ingredients are retained.
[0060] Additives and essential oil ingredients (adjustment of formula): Amino acid thickening agent: 100g, amino acid foaming agent: 800ml, glycerol: 200ml, amino acid moisturizing agent: 150g, hyaluronic acid stock solution: 80g, antibacterial agent adjustment: xylitol: 12g (used to replace the combination of "polyhydric alcohol antibacterial agent 10g + phenoxyethanol 5g" in Example One), citronella essential oil: 2ml, rosemary essential oil: 2ml, tea tree essential oil: 1ml (dosage adjustment), ginger essential oil: 3ml (dosage adjustment).
[0061] Other auxiliary materials: Drinking water: not less than 10000ml (due to the reduction in the total amount of medicinal materials, the estimated water requirement is correspondingly reduced), fresh ginger slices: 300g, 80-mesh screen and cotton filter bag.
[0062] The preparation method of this example maintains consistency with Example One in terms of process sequence, but adjustments are made in the extraction strategy, adopting a "single long-time decoction method". The specific steps are as follows: S1, raw material pretreatment and soaking: Place all the above-listed plant herbal materials (except tea chaff) in a washing container and rinse once with flowing drinking water. Place the washed herbal materials together with the gauze bag containing tea chaff into a stainless steel boiling pot with a capacity of not less than 21 liters. Add 8000ml of drinking water (increased compared to Example One to accommodate the needs of single decoction) to the pot, ensuring that the water completely submerges all the materials. Seal and soak overnight at room temperature (about 25°C), with a soaking time of not less than 10 hours.
[0063] S2, Single Decoction and Extraction (Process Adjustment Point): After the end of the soaking, the soap nuts, ganoderma lucidum, ginseng in the pot are fished out and cut into pieces, and the sapindus is cracked. Put all the processed raw materials back into the pot and add 300 grams of fresh ginger slices. Place the pot on the heat source, heat to boiling with high heat, then turn to small fire to maintain a state of slight boiling. The duration of this decoction is 3.5 hours (slightly shorter than the total time of two decoctions of 4 hours, but the single action time is longer). During the decoction process, a small amount of hot water is added in time to maintain the liquid level basically covering the medicinal materials. After the decoction is finished, turn off the fire.
[0064] S3, Filtration: Hot filtration is carried out using a 80 mesh screen to separate the medicinal liquid and residue. The filtered medicinal liquid is transferred to a clean container. Then, the medicinal liquid is filtered through a pre-wetted cotton filter bag, and this process is repeated 3 times until the medicinal liquid is clear.
[0065] S4, Concentration and Thickening: Transfer the pure traditional Chinese medicine juice obtained in step S3 to a clean stainless steel pot with known tare weight (W0). Heat on high heat to concentrate. When the total weight of the materials in the pot (M2) meets the formula M2-W0=3800 grams, stop concentrating. Immediately adjust the fire to the smallest. Uniformly add 100 grams of amino acid thickening agent to the concentrated liquid, continue to stir quickly for 3 minutes until completely dissolved. Stop heating.
[0066] S5, Add Foaming Agent and Preliminary Cooling: Immediately add 800 milliliters of amino acid foaming agent to the pot. Reopen the minimum fire and continue to stir the medicinal liquid during heating for 3 minutes to ensure complete dissolution of the foaming agent. Then turn off the fire and naturally cool the pot with half cover.
[0067] S6, Add Moisturizing Ingredients: When the temperature of the medicinal liquid drops to 60°C, add 200 milliliters of glycerol and 150 grams of amino acid moisturizing agent to the pot in turn, and stir until mixed evenly.
[0068] S7, Final Addition and Product Preparation: Move the pot to a room temperature environment and let it cool naturally. When the temperature of the medicinal liquid drops to below 40°C, add 80 grams of hyaluronic acid stock solution, 12 grams of xingan alcohol, 2 milliliters of lemongrass essential oil, 2 milliliters of rosemary essential oil, 1 milliliter of tea tree essential oil and 3 milliliters of fresh ginger essential oil in turn. Stir well after adding each ingredient to ensure complete mixing to obtain the finished shampoo.
[0069] S8, Filling and Storage: The finished shampoo is filled after cooling completely. The total amount of the finished product is similar to that of Example 1. The storage conditions are the same as those of Example 1: refrigerated for 6 months, and at room temperature in a cool place for 3 months.
[0070] Comparative Example 1: This comparative example simulates a common market, which claims to have clean and softening function of basic plant formula shampoo, its formula is significantly simplified, only contains a few plant cleaning ingredients and basic conditioning agent, does not contain the multiple Chinese herbal medicine compound system with hair growth and hair fixing effect described in the application.
[0071] Basic cleaning and plant extract: Soapberry extract (in solid form): 150 grams (as the main surfactant), soap extract (in solid form): 100 grams, tea bran: 50 grams (in a gauze bag), aloe gel: 100 grams (as a basic moisturizing plant ingredient).
[0072] Additives and conditioning agents: Cocamidopropyl betaine (CAB-35): 300 ml (chemically synthesized foaming thickener), polyquaternium-10: 20 g (chemically synthesized conditioning agent for softening), glycerol: 100 ml, carbomer 940: 5 g (chemically synthesized thickening agent), triethanolamine: appropriate amount (for adjusting the pH of carbomer to 6.0-7.0), phenoxyethanol: 5 g, fragrance: 2 ml.
[0073] Others: Deionized water: the balance (total weight about 4 kg), 80 mesh screen.
[0074] The preparation of this comparative example uses the conventional cold-formulation process of daily chemical products, and does not involve the complex extraction steps such as decoction and concentration of Chinese herbal medicine.
[0075] S1, pretreatment of plant ingredients: tea bran is packed in a gauze bag. The soapberry extract, soap extract and aloe gel are weighed and prepared.
[0076] S2, preparation of water phase: about 2.5 kg of deionized water is added to a stirred tank and heated to 75°C. Slowly add carbomer 940, and stir at high speed until completely dispersed and dissolved to form a uniform colloid. Stop heating.
[0077] S3, mixing and adding: when the temperature of the water phase drops below 50°C, add the soapberry extract, soap extract, aloe gel, gauze bag containing tea bran, cocamidopropyl betaine, glycerol and phenoxyethanol. Continue stirring at medium speed for 30 minutes to allow the effective ingredients in the tea bran to leach out and mix evenly. Remove the tea bran bag and squeeze out the residual liquid.
[0078] S4, thickening and conditioning: polyquaternium-10 is dissolved in a small amount of warm water in advance and added to the stirred tank. Adjust the pH of the system to 6.5 with triethanolamine. Continue stirring until the system is uniform and the viscosity is stable.
[0079] S5, final blending and filling: add essence, stir well. Add deionized water to a total weight of 4 kg. After the mixture is left to stand and defoamed, it is filled.
[0080] This comparative example only uses a few plant raw materials with cleaning effects, such as soapberry, soapnut and tea chaff, and relies heavily on chemically synthesized surfactants, thickeners and conditioning agents. The preparation process is simple mixing and stirring, without long-term decoction and concentration processes aimed at fully extracting the synergistic effects of multiple Chinese herbal medicines. The product design mainly focuses on basic cleaning and hair smoothing functions, lacking a complex plant active ingredient system and corresponding preparation process support for functions such as scalp nourishment, hair follicle activation, hair growth and hair retention.
[0081] Comparative Example 2: This comparative example has a formula basically the same as Example 1, but deliberately omits Platycladus orientalis and Radix Polygoni Multiflori, two raw materials that are often closely associated with hair growth and retention effects in the context of this invention.
[0082] Plant herbal extract raw materials: All 26 raw materials in Example 1 except Platycladus orientalis and Radix Polygoni Multiflori, i.e.: Soapnut 200g, soapberry 250g, tea chaff 100g (packed in a gauze bag), angelica 50g, mulberry leaf 30g, privet fruit 20g, dried ginger 20g, wormwood leaf 30g, tree peony bark 30g, eclipta 20g, Radix et Rhizoma Lycopi 20g, milkvetch 20g, kuh-seng 20g, Szechuan lovage 20g, rehmannia 20g, kuding 30g, mint 20g, hibiscus leaf 30g, drynaria 20g, white mulberry bark 20g, Chinese cork tree bark 20g, white camphor tree bark 20g, lucid ganoderma 50g, ginseng 20g.
[0083] Additives and essential oil raw materials: exactly the same as Example 1.
[0084] The preparation method of this comparative example is exactly the same as Example 1.
[0085] This comparative example completely replicates the preparation process of Example 1, but deliberately omits Platycladus orientalis and Radix Polygoni Multiflori from the formula, in order to compare the impact of the absence of these two raw materials on the potential effects related to the claimed hair growth and retention functions of the final product (this part of the function needs to be verified through subsequent experiments and is not reflected in the preparation of this comparative example).
[0086] Comparative Example 3: This comparative example uses the same raw material composition as Example 1.
[0087] This comparative example uses a completely different, simple extraction process, aiming to compare the importance of the decoction and concentration process.
[0088] S1, raw material pretreatment and ultrafine grinding: all plant herbal raw materials (except tea bran) were washed and put into a professional low-temperature grinding machine together with tea bran, and ground to fine powder passing through a 100-mesh sieve.
[0089] S2, room temperature extraction: the mixed plant fine powder was placed in a closed extraction tank with stirring. 16000 ml of 50% ethanol aqueous solution (ethanol: water = 1:1 by volume) was added as the extraction solvent. At room temperature (25°C), continuous stirring was carried out at a speed of 100 rpm, and the extraction was carried out for 72 hours.
[0090] S3, filtration: after the end of the extraction, the mixture was coarsely filtered through a plate and frame filter, and then finely filtered through a 0.45 micron filter membrane to obtain a clear ethanol extract.
[0091] S4, solvent recovery and preparation: the ethanol extract was distilled at 40°C under reduced pressure to recover ethanol until about 4.5 kg of viscous paste (with high water content) was obtained.
[0092] The paste was directly mixed with all the additives (amino acid thickening agent, foaming agent, glycerol, etc.) listed in Example 1 at room temperature and stirred uniformly. Due to the high water content of the paste and the complex system, the final product has very low viscosity and unstable properties, making it difficult to form a stable shampoo system.
[0093] The present comparative example proves that even if the same raw materials are used, only a simple room temperature soaking extraction (even if an organic solvent is used and the extraction time is extended) without the specific decoction and concentration steps described in the present application, not only is it difficult to effectively extract and enrich the water-soluble and fat-soluble synergistic components in the herbal medicine, but also it is impossible to form a suitable concentrated base required for the subsequent addition of amino acid surfactants and other components, resulting in the final product having substantial differences in form, stability and concentration of the expected efficacy components compared to the product of the present application.
[0094] The above only describes certain exemplary embodiments of the present application by way of illustration, and it is not necessary to modify the described embodiments in various ways without deviating from the spirit and scope of the present application for those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, the above figures and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection claimed by the present application.
