Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of skin care products, in particular to the field of IPC A61K8, and further to a whitening and freckle-removing cream and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Melanin deposits in the epidermis or dermis to form spots. As everyone loves beauty, more and more people begin to pay attention to the use of spot removal products. Currently, the spot removal mechanism of spot removal products on the market is relatively simple. In order to achieve a better spot removal effect, higher concentrations of whitening ingredients are often used. In order to solve the above problems, Chinese patent CN 201910682774 discloses a whitening and moisturizing essence and a whitening and moisturizing facial mask prepared using the same. The whitening and moisturizing essence is composed of the following raw materials and their mass percentages: 5% to 15% natural plant extract, 5% to 10% glycerin, 2% to 5% sodium hyaluronate, 5% to 7% niacinamide, 2% to 4% hydroxyethyl cellulose, 0.4% to 0.6% p-hydroxyacetophenone, 0.5% to 1% polyacrylic acid, 0.05% to 0.1% citric acid, 0.1% to 0.5% hydrogenated castor oil, and the remainder is deionized water. The total mass percentage of the raw materials is recorded as 100%. This technical solution reduces the irritation of niacinamide like the natural plant extract, but its mechanism of action is relatively single and the concentration of niacinamide is relatively high, which may pose certain risks to sensitive skin.

[0010] In order to reduce the irritation of niacinamide, the niacin content in the niacinamide introduced in the present application is less than 50ppm. At the same time, a plant extract containing flavonoid components is introduced in the present application, which can further improve the whitening and freckle removal effects while avoiding the problem of niacinamide decomposing niacin at high temperatures, thereby further avoiding the irritation of the cream.
[0011] Preferably, the whitening and freckle-removing composition further comprises at least one of a resorcinol derivative, vitamin E, and a soothing composition.
[0012] Preferably, the whitening and freckle-removing composition further comprises a resorcinol derivative, vitamin E, and a soothing composition.

[0022] In order to achieve the whitening and freckle removal effects from multiple aspects, the applicant further introduced resorcinol derivatives, vitamin E, and a soothing composition on the basis of niacinamide and a plant extract containing flavonoid components. However, the applicant found that there was a problem with the compatibility of the system and the obtained cream showed stratification. When the mass ratio of niacinamide, a plant extract containing flavonoid components, resorcinol derivatives, vitamin E, and a soothing composition was controlled to be (3-3.5): (0.8-1.2): (3-4): (0.3-0.6): (0.8-1.2), the above problems could be solved and the cream could also be stably present at high temperatures without oil separation or discoloration.
