Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of daily chemical products, and particularly relates to a sunscreen cream with a cooling effect and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Outdoor activities not only need to resist the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin, but also need to guard against the high-temperature damage of sunlight to the skin. The common sunscreen products with cooling and cooling effects on the market are usually mainly added with alcohol and menthol. Although menthol has elegant cooling fragrance and cooling effect on the skin, its shortcomings are also obvious enough. For example, the fragrance of menthol has special recognition, and some consumers do not like the smell, and the volatility is extremely strong, the cooling effect on the skin is short, and the strong volatility can bring strong cooling to the skin with a small amount of menthol, which is similar to the spiciness, both of which belong to composite sensation. Therefore, different consumers have different tolerances to the cooling, and for consumers with weak skin, such products with cooling and cooling effects may cause potential irritation. Compared with menthol, alcohol brings actual skin temperature reduction, but in the volatilization process, it can take away the water on the skin epidermis, which can cause skin water loss and even cause skin irritation. In addition, in order to achieve a high sun protection factor, sunscreen products, especially high sun protection factor sunscreen products, need to add a high content of sunscreen agents. Most sunscreen agents are oil-soluble, and the addition of a high content of sunscreen agents means that the proportion of oil-soluble ingredients in the sunscreen product needs to be greatly increased, which can cause the skin to appear obvious and heavy oil light when the consumer uses the sunscreen product, affecting the consumer's use experience.

[0003] Therefore, it is a technical problem to be solved urgently to develop a sunscreen product with cooling effect, mildness, and matte after use. SUMMARY

[0077] 1.2 Preparations and Instruments Before Testing

[0078] Select 90 normal skin women aged 25-40 years old. Randomly divided into 9 groups, 10 people in each group. The test site cannot use any product (cosmetics or external medicine or oral health care products) for 15 days before the test. Before the test, the subjects were asked to wash their arms and enter a constant temperature and humidity room with a temperature of 22±1℃ and a humidity of 50±5% 2 hours after washing, sit for 30 minutes and keep a relaxed state. The contact temperature tester was used for temperature test.

[0079] 1.3 Cooling effect evaluation

[0080] In the experiment, the right arm of the volunteer was selected according to the random table, the elbow was marked with a 4*4 grid, and the skin temperature test was carried out in the grid. The test temperature was taken as the initial skin temperature T0, and the hot air was treated at a distance of 30 cm from the test point. The test site hot air treatment temperature T1 was recorded. During the use, the test personnel took an equal amount of test sample for testing, and after one minute of rubbing, the temperature of the test site was tested, and the sample temperature T2 after use was recorded. The lighting conditions at each time point should be consistent: the curtains are closed and the lighting is appropriate. The subjects lie in bed. The angle of the bed should be consistent at each time point. The position of the bed must be marked on the ground to ensure the consistency of the position during the test. The test of the same volunteer is completed by the same measurement personnel.

[0081] 1.4 Test results

[0092] Under the conditions of a temperature of 20±2℃ and a relative humidity of 50±5%, the test sample was taken with a disposable syringe, a latex medical finger cot was worn, and the sample was evenly applied on a PMMA plate. After 20 minutes, the transmittance in the range of 290-400 nm was scanned, and the sun protection factor (SPF) value and the PFA value of the sample were calculated by software. Each sample was applied for testing 3 times, and the average value was taken.

[0093] 2.3 Test results

[0094] Table 5

[0095] Test sample SPF PA Example 1 19.8 PA++ Example 2 45.1 PA++++ Example 3 30.6 PA+++ Comparative Example 7 26.4 PA++

[0096] As can be seen from Table 5, the sun protection factor of the sunscreen cream of the present application can be from ordinary SPF 19.8 PA++ to high SPF 45.1 PA++++ by adjusting the addition amount of sunscreen agents and emollients in the formula within a limited range, which shows that the sunscreen cream provided by the present application can achieve a high sun protection factor and has a wide selection of sun protection factor. Comparative Example 7 has a large difference in SPF value compared with Example 3, which shows that the preparation method adopted by the present application can further improve the sun protection effect of the prepared sunscreen cream.

[0097] Consumer evaluation test

[0098] 3.1 Preparation of experimental samples

[0099] The samples of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were prepared.

[0100] 3.2 Experimental method

[0101] Select 90 normal skin women, age 20-40 years old, the test personnel need to meet the number of sunscreen use ≥4 times a week, and have a high demand for sunscreen. Randomly divided into 9 groups, respectively, using examples 1-3, comparative examples 1-6. Before the test, the subjects were asked to wash their faces and enter a constant temperature and humidity room 2 hours after washing, with a temperature of 22±1℃ and a humidity of 50±5%, sit for 30 minutes, and keep a relaxed state. During use, the sample is moisturized, and the oil gloss after use, mildness and other indicators are evaluated, and the score is 5 points, the higher the score, the higher the evaluation index (moisturizing, oil, mildness), and the highest score is 5 points, the lowest score is 1 point, and the intermediate score can be 0.25 / 0.50 / 0.75 etc. Difference.

[0102] 3.3 Experimental results

[0103] According to the sensory evaluation, fill in the trial evaluation form, collect the experimental trial evaluation form, and the statistical results are shown in Table 6:

[0104] Table 6

[0105] Evaluation results Moisturization Glossy feel after use Mildness Example 1 4.50 2.00 4.85 Example 2 4.65 1.35 4.83 Example 3 4.73 1.40 4.88 Comparative Example 1 4.48 1.85 4.88 Comparative Example 2 4.58 1.50 4.78 Comparative Example 3 4.65 1.33 4.78 Comparative Example 4 4.38 3.15 4.88 Comparative Example 5 4.43 3.25 4.88 Comparative Example 6 4.60 3.80 4.80

[0106] From the test results in Table 6, it can be seen that the mildness of the samples of examples 1-3, comparative examples 1-6 is relatively high; the results of comparative examples 4-5 are slightly lower in the evaluation of moisturizing index, which shows that under the same conditions, the addition of polyacrylic acid sodium grafted starch has better moisturizing performance; for the oil gloss after use, the scores of comparative examples 4-6 are higher, which shows that these samples have obvious oil gloss after use, while the scores of examples 1-3 and comparative examples 1-3 are lower, which shows that the oil gloss after use of the samples of the present application is not obvious, and has a certain matte feeling, which also shows that the addition of polyacrylic acid sodium grafted starch can significantly reduce the oil gloss after use of the sunscreen product.

[0107] The oil gloss of the skin after use of the samples of example 3 and comparative example 6 is compared as shown in Figure 1 From Figure 1 it can be seen that the sample of example 3 has no obvious oil gloss (left hand), while the sample of comparative example 6 has obvious oil gloss (right hand).

[0108] Test example 4 stability test

[0109] The high and low temperature stability test of the product was carried out as follows: the product was placed in a -15℃, 40℃, 48℃ electric thermostat for 30-90 days, and then observed after recovery at room temperature. The high and low temperature stability test results of examples 1-3, comparative examples 1-7 are shown in Table 7.
