Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hair and skin care products, and more specifically, to a hair care composition and a hair care product. Background Art

[0002] The growth of various pathogenic bacteria on the scalp can easily lead to scalp infections, causing various problems such as dandruff and scalp itching to people, affecting people's daily lives, such as typical scalp diseases: seborrheic dermatitis.

[0003] To solve the above problems, various scalp care products have been successively launched on the market. For example, selenium sulfide lotion for treating scalp inflammation is an external lotion for anti-dandruff, bactericidal, and anti-scalp seborrheic dermatitis. However, after using selenium sulfide lotion, the hair is prone to adhesion, not easy to wash, has poor combability, and will damage the hair; and anti-dandruff bactericides such as salicylic acid and thymol have less damage to the hair, but they have greater irritation and are prone to cause other skin problems.

[0004] In addition, scalp inflammation will also cause problems of hair damage. Scalp care products are also likely to damage hair follicles, make hair frizzy and cause hair loss. And most of the currently marketed hair and skin care products contain silicone oil. Long-term use of silicone oil products will accumulate on the hair, resulting in unnatural, heavy, and collapsed hair. Due to increasingly severe living environment, work pressure and other problems, people prefer mild, healthy and natural hair and skin care products. At present, researchers mostly look for substitutes for silicone oil from natural products. For example, sapindus saponins and tea saponins have been widely used. However, in actual applications, they have greater irritation and cannot achieve the use effect of silicone-containing products. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to reduce the irritation of hair care products and improve their anti-dandruff, itch-relieving and hair care effects, the present application provides a hair care composition and a hair care product.

[0006] The first object of the present application is to provide a hair care composition.

[0007] The second object of the present application is to provide the use of a hair care composition in the preparation of a hair care product.

[0008] The third object of the present application is to provide a shampoo.

[0009] The fourth object of the present application is to provide a hair conditioner.

[0010] To achieve the above objects, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0011] A hair care composition is composed of Chuanxiong extract, Cinnamon extract, Tea seed extract and Chamomile extract. The mass ratio of Chuanxiong extract, Cinnamon extract, Tea seed extract to Chamomile extract is (1 - 3):(0.5 - 1):(1 - 3):(0.5 - 2).

[0012] Preferably, the mass ratio of Chuanxiong extract, Cinnamon extract, Tea seed extract to Chamomile extract is 2:0.5:3:1.5.

[0013] Chuanxiong extract contains volatile oils, alkaloids, phenolic components, lactones, ferulic acid and essential trace elements such as zinc, copper, iron, etc. Chuanxiong can dilate the capillaries of the head, promote blood circulation in the head, increase the nutritional supply of hair, make the hair less brittle, improve the tensile strength and extensibility, and can delay the growth of white hair, avoid hair dryness and shedding, and keep the hair oily and shiny. The phenolic substances rich in Chuanxiong extract endow it with good antibacterial and antifungal effects.

[0014] Cinnamon extract contains essential oils, phenols, proanthocyanidins, etc. When applied to bath products, it has the effects of preventing dandruff and stimulating hair growth. Phenols and proanthocyanidins endow Cinnamon extract with certain antibacterial effects.

[0015] Tea seed extract is rich in active substances such as tea polyphenols and vitamin A, and has the effects of hair care, blackening hair, removing dandruff and preventing hair loss. And there is a certain amount of tea saponin in tea seed extract, which is an excellent non-ionic natural surfactant, endowing it with good hair washing and dandruff removing effects. The crude protein and various amino acids and other nutrients it contains have good nourishing effects on the scalp and hair, making the hair smooth.

[0016] Chamomile extract contains volatile oils, flavonoids, amino acid components, chrysanthemum lactones, chamazulene components, and has the effects of oil control, antioxidant, antibacterial and bacteriostatic. When applied to hair bath products, it endows them with good bactericidal and hair care effects.

[0017] Chuanxiong extract, Cinnamon extract, Tea seed extract and Chamomile extract all have certain antibacterial, hair care and hair nourishing effects. Using them alone or in partial combination still has poor effects and cannot completely replace the main active substances in conventional bath products, such as Sapindus mukorossi extract with good antibacterial effect but strong irritation, and silicone oil with good hair care effect but easy to deposit on the scalp and cause pore blockage. In this application, the above four plant extracts are compounded in the ratio of (1 - 3):(0.5 - 1):(1 - 3):(0.5 - 2), and have excellent bactericidal and anti-dandruff and itching-relieving effects, with a synergistic effect. They can be used as the main active substances in hair bath products and are non-irritating to the scalp.

[0071] Antibacterial Performance Test of Hair Care Composition

[0072] Using Malassezia as the target strain, the MIC value (the minimum inhibitory concentration when the antibacterial rate is 80%) of the hair care compositions in each preparation example and comparative preparation example was tested.

[0073] Malassezia is a conditional pathogenic lipophilic fungus on the skin surface of humans and warm-blooded animals. Dandruff is seborrheic dermatitis medically, and its occurrence is caused by Malassezia. Therefore, inhibiting the growth of Malassezia can have a certain effect of removing dandruff and relieving itching.

[0074] The micro - liquid - based dilution method in the reference of the test method (Gao Kunping, Yang Wenxin. Experimental study on the in vitro antibacterial activity of compound Zaofan functional shampoo against Malassezia [J]. Modern Distance Education in Traditional Chinese Medicine, 2019, 17(11): 111 - 113.) was used. 4% olive oil was used as the liquid base for the drug sensitivity test. After culturing the bacterial liquid for 72 h, 1 mL of the culture solution was spotted on a sterile Malassezia olive oil solid medium without drugs. After 72 h, the growth of the colonies was observed. The drug concentration corresponding to the sterile growth of the solid medium was determined as the MIC value, and the reading was repeated 5 times, and the results were averaged.

[0075] The MIC values of the hair care compositions in each preparation example and comparative preparation example were measured and recorded in Table 1.

[0076] Table 1 MIC values of the hair care compositions in Preparation Examples 1 - 6 and Comparative Preparation Examples 1 - 6 against the standard strain of Malassezia Test results: It can be seen from the test results in Table 1 that the minimum concentration when the antibacterial rate of Preparation Examples 1 - 6 reached 80% was below 3.55. Among them, Preparation Example 4 was the optimal preparation example, that is, when the mass ratio of the chuanxiong extract, cinnamon extract, tea seed extract and chamomile extract was 2:0.5:3:1.5, the antibacterial effect of the hair care composition was the best. In addition, it can be seen from the test results of Comparative Preparation Examples 3 - 6 that when any one of the plant extracts was missing, the antibacterial effect of the hair care composition decreased significantly, indicating that the combination of chuanxiong extract, cinnamon extract, tea seed extract and chamomile extract had a good synergistic antibacterial effect.
