Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of cosmetics, and particularly relates to a photo-crosslinkable polymer with anti-ultraviolet effect, a preparation method thereof and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ultraviolet (UV) is divided into UVA (320-400nm), UVB (280-320nm), and UVC (100-280nm) according to wavelength, wherein UVC is basically blocked by the ozone layer, and UVA and UVB can reach the ground. Short-term exposure to these lights can cause skin erythema, edema, pigment deposition, etc., and long-term exposure can cause skin photoaging, skin cancer, pigment abnormalities, eye damage, etc. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop ultraviolet protection products.

[0003] Sunscreen is a protective cosmetic applied to the surface of the human body, and is the last barrier against ultraviolet rays. Sunscreen mainly relies on various sunscreen agents to work, and sunscreen agents can be divided into physical sunscreen agents and chemical sunscreen agents. Physical sunscreen agents (such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) achieve sunscreen effect by reflecting ultraviolet rays, while chemical sunscreen agents are a class of organic compounds that absorb ultraviolet rays and convert them into heat energy for release, used to protect the skin from UVA and UVB damage. Unlike physical sunscreens, chemical sunscreens are lighter and easier to apply, making them more suitable for daily use.

[0004] However, current chemical sunscreens can cause photodegradation, skin penetration, and other phenomena, which can cause potential biological toxicity, endocrine disruption, and other safety issues. In addition, sunscreen stays on the surface of the human skin through physical application, and there is a problem of loss when exposed to water or sweat, resulting in a loss of resistance to ultraviolet rays. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to develop long-acting, water-resistant, and sweat-resistant ultraviolet protection products. SUMMARY

[0082] As shown in Table 1, the photo-crosslinkable polymer has the function of absorbing ultraviolet rays and has anti-ultraviolet efficacy. It is illustrated that the small molecule compound with anti-ultraviolet efficacy is connected to the hydrophilic natural polymer skeleton by chemical bond, and the (methyl) propylene double bond is introduced, compared with the single small molecule compound with anti-ultraviolet efficacy (ultraviolet absorption range 250-360nm), the comparative example 1 and the comparative example 2, the photo-crosslinkable polymer with anti-ultraviolet efficacy (ultraviolet absorption range 210-390nm) can be prepared.

[0083] Test Example 2: Compression modulus and ultraviolet transmittance test of sunscreen hydrogel

[0084] The sunscreen hydrogel with different concentrations of components is irradiated with 405nm ultraviolet light, and the sunscreen hydrogel is cured to form a sunscreen hydrogel in about 30s.

[0085] The compression modulus was measured using a WDF-20 digital force gauge. The compression test specimens were cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 3 mm. The test speed was 1 mm / min. The compression modulus of the sunscreen hydrogels is shown in Table 2.

[0086] Evenly apply 2 ml of the A1-A10 polymer aqueous solution to a 5 cm x 5 cm transparent PMMA plate. Place the PMMA plate 2 cm above a TM-223 (TENMARS) UV light meter and illuminate it directly above the plate with a 365 nm UV lamp. Record the UV intensity detected by the UV light meter, using the blank PMMA plate as a reference (100%). The data are reported in Table 2. As can be seen from Table 2, the A1-A10 polymer aqueous solutions all exhibit good UV protection.

[0089] The values ​​of the compression modulus in Table 2 indicate that under the action of the photoinitiator, a cross-linking polymerization reaction of the (meth)propylene double bonds in the photocross-linked polymer is initiated to form a non-flowing hydrogel. The mechanical strength of the gel network can resist the impact of running water and the penetration of sweat, which can prolong the retention time of sunscreen molecules on the skin surface and reduce the safety risks brought by the penetration of small molecule sunscreens into the skin.

[0090] Test Example 2: Gelation Performance Test of Sunscreen Hydrogel

[0091] According to the method of Example 11, sunscreen hydrogels with different concentrations of components were prepared. Any component was selected and irradiated with light of 405 nm wavelength. The flowing sunscreen hydrogel solidified into a non-flowing sunscreen hydrogel in about 10 seconds. Figure 1 As shown (the sunscreen hydrogel components shown in the figure: A1: 2wt%; initiator: 0.5wt%).

[0092] Test Example 3: UV absorption performance test of sunscreen hydrogel

[0093] According to the method of Example 11, sunscreen hydrogels with different concentrations of components were prepared. Any group of sunscreen hydrogels: A1: 2wt%; initiator: 0.5wt% were selected and added dropwise to the sensing area of ​​the UV sunscreen card. The UV light was used for irradiation. Figure 2 As shown in the figure (the sunscreen hydrogel components shown are: A1: 2wt%; initiator: 0.5wt%)), when exposed to UV light, the sensing area, excluding the sunscreen hydrogel, becomes noticeably darker due to absorption of UV light. After removing the sunscreen hydrogel, it is clearly visible that the area coated with the sunscreen hydrogel has essentially no color change, proving that the hydrogel absorbs UV light. This demonstrates that the sunscreen hydrogel has a significant UV shielding effect on the UV sensor card.

[0094] Test Example 4: Comparative test of ultraviolet absorption performance of sunscreen hydrogel

[0095] According to the method of Example 11, sunscreen hydrogels of different concentrations of components are prepared, and any one of the sunscreen hydrogels is selected and added dropwise on the right side of the ultraviolet sunscreen card sensing area, and Comparative Example 1 is added dropwise on the left side of the ultraviolet sunscreen card sensing area. Under ultraviolet light irradiation, the polymer solution on the right side is crosslinked to form a non-flowing gel. As shown in the figure (the components of the sunscreen hydrogel shown in the figure: A1: 2wt%; initiator: 0.5wt%), when ultraviolet light irradiation is performed, the sensing area is discolored due to the absorption of ultraviolet light, except for the area of Comparative Example 1 solution and sunscreen hydrogel. After the ultraviolet sunscreen card is soaked in water for 10 minutes, the Comparative Example 1 solution is washed away by water, while the gel remains unchanged. When ultraviolet light irradiation is performed again, the area on the ultraviolet sunscreen card coated with the gel does not change color, and after the sunscreen hydrogel is removed, the color contrast change can be clearly seen. Further indicating that the sunscreen hydrogel has significant waterproof effect and long-lasting ultraviolet protection effect. Figure 3 Example 12: Application of photo-crosslinkable polymer in ultraviolet protection products

[0096] The photo-crosslinkable polymers prepared in Examples 1-10 can be seen to have ultraviolet absorption function in the range of 210-390nm by performing ultraviolet absorption test 1. The polymers A1-A10 are dissolved in water respectively, with a concentration range of 2wt%-10wt%, and 0.05wt%-0.5wt% of a photo initiator is added to obtain a sunscreen hydrogel, which can be used in ultraviolet protection products. The effect of the ultraviolet protection products is evaluated by the elastic modulus and ultraviolet transmittance of the sunscreen hydrogel, the gelation performance test example 3, and the ultraviolet absorption performance test example 4.

[0097] Example 13: Application of photo-crosslinkable polymer in antioxidant products

[0098] The photo-crosslinkable polymers obtained in Examples 1 and 2 have small molecule compounds with ultraviolet protection effect connected to the hydrophilic natural polymer skeleton by chemical bonding, and (meth) acryloyl groups are introduced, which have the effects of scavenging free radicals, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, etc., and have application value in antioxidant products.

[0099] Example 14: Application of photo-crosslinkable polymer in antiseptic and sterilization products

[0100]

[0101] ​The small molecule compound with anti-ultraviolet effect is connected to the hydrophilic natural polymer skeleton by chemical bonding in the light-crosslinkable polymer obtained in Embodiments 1 and 2, and a light-crosslinkable (meth) acryl group is introduced, which has the application value in the antiseptic and sterilization product by destroying cell membrane, inhibiting enzyme activity and interfering with DNA / RNA synthesis.
