Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of daily chemical products, and in particular, relates to a product containing vitamin B 12 A scalp care composition having a hair growth promoting effect. Background Art
[0002] Due to factors such as genetics, environment, excessive mental stress, staying up late, and drugs (such as chemotherapy-induced hair loss), the proportion of modern people losing hair is increasing, and hair loss is becoming more and more common among young people. According to the 2017 "China Hair Loss Population Survey Report", there are currently about 200 million people with hair loss in my country, and the rate is increasing at a rate of at least 15%. Most of them are men, with a prevalence rate of about 21.3%, and the prevalence rate of women is about 6.0%. For male hair loss, common types include androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata, of which more than 90% is androgenic alopecia.
[0003] Faced with problems such as hair loss, hair loss and hair thinning, most people tend to focus directly on strategies to prevent hair loss, but often ignore the importance of hair follicles. Hair follicles are the source of hair growth, and the integrity of their structure is not only required for the body's metabolism, but also has important significance for a person's appearance. Hair follicles have the characteristics of self-renewal and cyclical growth, which is closely related to a group of mesenchymal cells in the hair bulb, namely, hair papilla cells, which play an important inductive role in hair follicle development and the postnatal hair follicle cycle. Without hair papilla cells, hair follicles cannot be formed; in the postnatal hair follicle cycle, hair papilla cells directly or indirectly induce the cyclical growth of hair follicles by interacting with the surrounding hair follicle epithelial cells. Therefore, maintaining or restoring the hair follicle induction function of hair papilla cells has become a focus of research on hair loss treatment.
[0004] At present, the quality of anti-hair loss products containing natural plant or traditional Chinese medicine extracts on the market varies greatly, or contain high concentrations of ethanol, which can easily irritate the scalp and aggravate hair loss. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop an effective composition that can maintain hair follicles, nourish hair roots, protect hair, and prevent hair loss. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a vitamin B 12 The scalp care composition has the function of promoting hair growth, and the composition has the function of repairing DNA damage of hair papilla cells and anti-oxidation (ROS) of hair papilla cells.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a 12 A scalp care composition having a hair growth promoting effect, characterized in that it contains 0.0001 to 0.0003% by mass of vitamin B12 .
[0007] Further, as a further improvement of the present invention, a vitamin B 12 The scalp care composition having the effect of promoting hair growth is characterized in that it is composed of the following components in percentage by mass: 0.0001-0.0003% of vitamin B 12 , 5.0~20.0% compound active ingredients, 0.01~0.5% ginger essential oil, 0.02~0.50% lavender essential oil, 0.02~0.50% rosemary essential oil, 5.0~20.0% polyol, 0.02~2.0% pH adjuster, 0.1~2.0% solubilizer, and the balance is pure water; the compound active ingredient is one of panthenol, niacinamide, pyridoxine hydrochloride, biotin, or a mixture thereof in any mass ratio.
[0008] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the rosemary essential oil, the lavender essential oil and the ginger essential oil is 3:12:10.
[0009] The polyol includes one of glycerol, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, caprylyl glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, caprylyl glycol, ethylhexylglycerol, or a mixture thereof in any mass ratio.
[0010] The pH regulator is one of citric acid, sodium citrate, arginine, tromethamine, aminomethyl propanol, or a mixture thereof in any mass ratio.
[0011] The solubilizer is one of PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, cocoether-7, PPG-1-PEG-9 lauryl glycol ether, or a mixture thereof in any mass ratio.
[0012] The present invention also provides a kind of vitamin B 12 The scalp care composition is prepared by the following method, comprising the following steps: First, accurately weigh each raw material according to the mass percentage; then, at room temperature, mix the weighed pure water, compound active ingredients, and polyols, and stir until dissolved; then add a pH adjuster, stir and dissolve to obtain phase A; evenly mix the weighed solubilizer with lavender essential oil, rosemary essential oil, and ginger essential oil, then add the polyol and stir evenly to obtain phase B; pour phase A into phase B while stirring, and mix evenly to obtain a vitamin B-containing 12 Scalp care composition.
[0013] The present invention provides a kind of vitamin B containing 0.0001-0.0003% 12 Mass fraction of scalp care composition, vitamin B in the composition 12 (Vitamin B 12), also known as cobalamin, is a general term for cobalt-containing corrin compounds. Vitamin B 12 The appearance is a red crystalline solid with no special smell. Its aqueous solution is neutral and its properties are stable. The applicant has confirmed through in vitro experiments that vitamin B 12 It can inhibit the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the oxidation of human hair papilla cells, and has a protective and repairing effect on human hair papilla cells affected by oxidative damage. It can prevent human hair papilla cells from apoptosis and promote hair growth.
[0014] Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B 3 , which can promote cell metabolism. Niacinamide will be converted into niacin in the body, penetrate into the lower blood vessels through the hair follicles, promote vascular dilation and blood circulation, and apply it to shampoo and hair care products to promote hair follicle microcirculation, promote hair growth, and improve the effect of hair loss.
[0015] Panthenol is a B vitamin 5 Panthenol is a precursor of hydroxybenzoic acid, which penetrates into the hair and is replaced by sebum, so the hair does not become heavy and the hairstyle can last longer. In hair care products, panthenol has the following advantages: long-term moisturizing of hair; improving hair combing; reducing the formation of split ends; improving hair damage; thickening hair and brightening the color.
[0016] Pyridoxine hydrochloride is vitamin B 6 , which can be quickly converted into coenzymes in the body - pyridoxal phosphate and pyridoxamine. It plays an important role in protein metabolism, and can resist sebum and promote hair regeneration. 6 It can reduce the hormone prolactin, thereby alleviating the atrophy of hair follicles, normalizing the protein and amino acid metabolism of the head skin, effectively adjusting the vitality of the sebaceous glands of the head skin, treating seborrheic dermatitis, and improving the condition of oily hair.
[0017] Biotin is vitamin B 7 , is a coenzyme of carboxylase and plays an important role in the metabolism of glucose, amino acids and fatty acids in mammals. It plays an important role in the metabolism of all macronutrients through four biotin-dependent carboxylases involved in fatty acid synthesis, gluconeogenesis and amino acid metabolism. Biotin deficiency may cause zinc or EFA deficiency, including hair loss, rash and central nervous system dysfunction.
[0018] Plant essential oils can promote scalp cell regeneration and balance scalp oil secretion. The preferred lavender essential oil, rosemary essential oil, ginger essential oil, etc. of the present invention are all natural plant essential oils commonly used in hair care products. The main component of plant "essential oils" for hair is fatty acid glyceride, which has a polar head. Therefore, plant essential oils have a stronger adsorption capacity for polar keratin in hair fibers and a better penetration effect. Some can even penetrate into the CMC layer of the hair cuticle. They protect the hair cuticle from swelling and falling off by strengthening the hydrophobic effect of the lipoprotein layer, thereby maintaining the integrity of the hair shaft.
[0019] Polyols are commonly used moisturizers in cosmetics. The hydrophilic groups in them can capture water molecules and have both moisturizing and antibacterial functions. According to research reports, polyols exert their antibacterial effects by interfering with the physiological environment of the cell membrane, destroying the cell membrane of microorganisms, and then forming vesicles or rupturing them. Polyols such as 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, caprylyl glycol, propylene glycol, butanediol, caprylyl glycol, and ethylhexylglycerin with alcoholic hydroxyl groups are also good preservative promoters that can promote the preservative effects of a variety of traditional preservatives.
[0020] In summary, vitamin B 12 In the case of having a hair growth effect, the inventors compounded other ingredients with hair growth activity, and the appropriately compounded composition has better hair growth function, better anti-hair loss effect, and more comprehensive functional effects.
