Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of skin care products, in particular to the technical field of skin care products containing silkworm peptides. More particularly, the present invention relates to an application of silkworm peptides, silkworm peptide liposomes and a whitening cream and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The poem "A face as white as cream, eyes as white as lacquer" captures the aesthetic aspirations of Asian women throughout history: smooth, flawless, and fair skin, a key claim of numerous skincare products. Modern science confirms that skin darkening, yellowing, freckles, and melasma are all linked to melanin accumulation. The mechanism of whitening is primarily through inhibiting or blocking melanin production pathways. Melanin production is primarily stimulated by ultraviolet light or inflammation, stimulating melanocytes in the basal layer of the epidermis. Tyrosinase, acting as a catalyst for the production of intracellular tyrosine, converts it into dopaminergic (eumelanin) and pheomelanin through various pathways. These melanins gradually rise to the stratum corneum, where they eventually aggregate and become visible.

[0003] As a model organism of the Lepidoptera order, the silkworm (Bombyx mori) possesses numerous pigmentation mutants, making it an ideal candidate for studying pigment metabolism and the mechanisms of markings. The OKA-type4 silkworm peptide, a peptide fragment accidentally obtained and modified during experiments, has been shown to effectively eliminate the black markings of quail-like mutant silkworms when injected into their body fluids, rendering them indistinguishable from normal silkworms.

[0004] Nowadays, more and more consumers prefer natural active ingredients with efficacy, such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, polyphenol extracts from plants, bioactive peptides, astaxanthin, chitosan from animals, etc. These substances have incomparable whitening and antioxidant properties. Compared with chemically synthesized whitening agents, they are safer, less sensitive, and have no toxic side effects.

[0005] This study applied OKA-type4 silkworm peptide to whitening skin care products and developed a cream product with whitening effect on human skin, which is of great significance to promoting the development and application of silkworm peptide. Summary of the Invention

The guinea pigs were shaved on both sides of their backs, exposing an area of ​​approximately 3*3cm. The irradiation was then performed at a distance of 10cm from the skin, once a day for 7 consecutive days, for a total cumulative irradiation of 5000mJ / cm 2 The silkworm body peptide was dissolved in PBS solution and diluted to obtain a sample with a concentration of 20 mg / mL of silkworm body peptide. After modeling, the sample was applied to the area. The left side was not treated, and the right side was applied. The sample was applied once a day for one week as the dosing cycle. After the end of the dosing cycle, the skin tissue was taken for testing. The picture of the guinea pig skin after the end of the dosing cycle is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

After cooling to 40°C, flavors, preservatives, and conditioning agents are added, and high-speed homogenization is performed at 3000-4000 rpm / min for 40 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture is bottled. The method of preparing silkworm peptide liposomes by thin film dispersion method comprises: Prepare the aqueous phase: dissolve the silkworm peptide according to claim 1 in a PBS buffer solution with a pH of 4.7 to prepare an aqueous phase with a silkworm peptide concentration of 0.6 g / ml; Prepare the organic phase by adding 20 mg of soy lecithin, 1 mg of cholesterol, and 1 mg of sodium cholate to 10 ml of anhydrous ethanol. Under stirring at 300-400 rpm / min, the aqueous phase was added dropwise to the organic phase using a 1.5 mL needle to obtain a mixture with a volume ratio of aqueous phase: organic phase = 1:1; The mixture was first sonicated at 500W for 2-8 minutes, and then vacuum evaporated at 37°C until a milky white film was formed. Tween-80 and PBS buffer were then added and shaken to dissolve the film. After removing excess water by vacuum rotary evaporation at 37°C for the second time, ultrasonic treatment was performed at 500W for 2-4min, and the formed emulsion was filtered through a 0.45μm micropore filter; The filtered emulsion is freeze-dried into powder to obtain silkworm peptide liposome powder.

8. A method for preparing the whitening cream according to claim 6, characterized in that: include: Prepare the aqueous base: heat the aqueous base to 40-50°C and add xanthan gum to thicken it while stirring at high speed to obtain the aqueous phase; Prepare the oil phase base material, heat the oil phase base material to 70-80°C to melt it evenly to obtain the oil phase; The oil phase is then mixed with the water phase, emulsified while stirring, and allowed to stand to cool; after cooling to 40°C, flavors, preservatives, and regulators are added, and high-speed homogenization is performed at 3000-4000 rpm / min for 40 minutes to obtain the product.
