Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Embodiment 1

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for preparing nano high-stability retinol comprises the following steps:

[0024] S1. Prepare an aqueous solution containing retinol (concentration of 7%, approximately equal to 17100-19800 IU / g), 1,3-propylene glycol, sodium cocoamphoacetate, tocopheryl acetate, butylated hydroxytoluene, butylated hydroxyanisole, and xanthan gum, wherein the pH value of the aqueous solution is adjusted to between 5.0 and 9.0, preferably to 6.5;

[0025] S2, using natural carnauba wax as a carrier material, mixing retinol and natural carnauba wax in a certain ratio and then heating to a molten state, wherein the ratio of natural carnauba wax to retinol is between 1:1 and 3:1, preferably 2:1, and the specific temperature range of heating to a molten state is 60°C to 80°C, preferably 70°C, and then rapidly cooling to form a nano-sized waxy encapsulation structure, wherein the cooling rate during the rapid cooling process is reduced by 10°C to 20°C per minute, preferably 15°C per minute, to form nanoparticles with a particle size of about 220 nm, and the average particle size of the nanoparticles is 200nm to 250nm, preferably 220nm;

[0026] S3, adding the nanoparticles prepared above to the aqueous solution prepared in step S1, and mixing thoroughly under stirring until the nanoparticles are evenly distributed in the solution to form a light yellow to yellow viscous suspension;

[0027] S4. Filter the mixed suspension at a temperature not exceeding 40°C, fill the finished product, and seal and preserve the finished product;

[0028] S5. The finished product in step S4 is subjected to physical and chemical property tests, including pH determination, particle size analysis and stability assessment, to ensure that the product quality meets the standards.

[0029] In the specific implementation of the present invention: first, prepare an aqueous solution containing retinol (concentration of 7%, approximately equal to 17100-19800 IU / g), 1,3-propylene glycol, sodium cocoylamphoacetate, tocopheryl acetate, butylated hydroxytoluene, butylated hydroxyanisole, and xanthan gum. Next, take an appropriate amount of natural Brazilian palm wax as a carrier material, and mix it with retinol in a ratio of 1:1 to 3:1, preferably a ratio of 2:1. Heat the mixture to 60°C to 80°C, preferably 70°C, to completely melt it to form a uniform liquid mixture. Subsequently, the molten mixture is rapidly cooled, and the cooling rate is controlled to decrease by 10°C to 20°C per minute, preferably by 15°C per minute, to form a nano-sized waxy encapsulation structure, and finally obtain nanoparticles with a particle size of about 200nm to 250nm, preferably 220nm.

[0030] Next, the nanoparticles prepared above are slowly added to the pre-prepared aqueous solution and mixed thoroughly under continuous stirring until the nanoparticles are evenly distributed in the solution to form a light yellow to yellow viscous suspension. In order to ensure that the activity of retinol is not destroyed, the entire mixing process must be carried out at a low temperature of no more than 40°C. After mixing, the suspension is filtered to remove possible large particles, and then filled and sealed for storage to ensure the quality stability of the product during subsequent transportation and storage.

[0031] Finally, the finished product needs to undergo a series of physical and chemical property tests, including pH determination (adjusted to between 5.0 and 9.0, preferably pH 6.5), particle size analysis and stability assessment, to ensure that the product quality meets the established standards. The nano high-stability retinol suspension prepared through the above steps not only significantly improves the stability of retinol, but also enhances its biocompatibility and permeability. It is suitable for a variety of cosmetic formulations, especially for O / W and W / O emulsion systems, and can effectively improve the effect of skin care products.
