Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of personal care products, in particular to a shampoo containing modified zinc oxide and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the personal care product sector, shampoo, as an everyday necessity, faces increasingly diverse functional demands. Traditional shampoos primarily focus on cleansing and conditioning, but with increasing consumer demand for scalp health and specialized care, the market is urgently seeking new shampoos with multiple benefits, including antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Zinc oxide, as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, has shown promising application prospects in cosmetics, but its dispersibility and stability in shampoo systems have hindered its practical application.
[0003] Prior research on zinc oxide modification has primarily focused on single-functional modifications or simple composite systems. While some studies have attempted to apply zinc oxide to shampoo products, issues such as poor control over active ingredient release and insufficient system stability are common. Especially for sensitive scalp care products, achieving sustained release of active ingredients, reducing irritation, and maintaining antibacterial efficacy remain technical challenges. Furthermore, traditional emulsion systems struggle to simultaneously encapsulate and stabilize the release of multiple active ingredients.
[0004] In recent years, advances in nanotechnology and multiple emulsion technology have provided new solutions to these challenges. Chemical modification can significantly improve the dispersibility and functionality of zinc oxide, while triple emulsion systems provide an ideal vehicle for the synergistic effects of multiple active ingredients. However, there are no reports of shampoo products combining azobenzene-modified zinc oxide with nanosilver / zinc oxide hybrid materials and using an O / W / O triple emulsion as a carrier. This innovative combination holds promise for achieving synergistic effects while maintaining product stability. Summary of the Invention

[0063] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cationic guar gum is purchased from Guangdong Wengjiang Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.
[0064] The O / W / O triple emulsion matrix in this invention consists of a water phase (W) encapsulating an oil phase (O) to form a primary O / W emulsion, which is then dispersed in an outer oil phase (O) to form an O / W / O multilayer structure. This dual interfacial stabilization mechanism (inner emulsifier + outer oil phase) enables synergistic loading and controlled release of water-soluble and oil-soluble active ingredients, improving the formulation's stability and long-lasting efficacy.
[0065] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the shampoo containing modified zinc oxide, comprising the following steps:
[0066] S1, add cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine and sodium laureth sulfate to deionized water in sequence and stir until completely dissolved; add O / W / O triple emulsion base and jojoba oil / silicone oil complex and mix homogeneously;
[0067] S2, adding pre-dispersed azobenzene-modified zinc oxide nanoparticles and nanosilver / zinc oxide hybrid material; adding cationic guar gum, ethyl-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanecarboxamide, zinc hyaluronate, citric acid / sodium citrate buffer system, disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, cysteine, and panthenol in sequence; replenishing deionized water to 100%, homogenizing, and standing to defoam; filtering through a 200-mesh sieve.
[0068] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the rotation speed of the homogenous mixing is 5000 rpm, and the mixing time is 10 min.
[0069] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the pH of the citric acid / sodium citrate buffer system is 5.5-6.0; the homogenization speed is 3000 rpm, and the time is 5 minutes.
[0070] The jojoba oil in the jojoba oil / silicone oil composite of the present invention is rich in long-chain fatty acid esters, which form a compatible composite with silicone oil (such as polydimethylsiloxane). This composite can form a breathable protective film on the hair surface, reducing water loss and enhancing hair smoothness, while reducing the heaviness of pure silicone oil. The guar gum in the cationic guar gum is positively charged after quaternization and binds to the negatively charged hair keratin through electrostatic adsorption, forming a repair film on the hair surface, smoothing the hair scales, reducing friction damage, and improving the hair's gloss and smoothness. Cocamidopropyl hydroxysulfobetaine is an amphoteric surfactant, and the sulfobetaine groups in its molecular structure provide gentle cleaning power, reducing the irritation of anionic surfactants, while enhancing foam stability and system compatibility. Sodium laureth sulfate is used as the primary surfactant. Through the hydrophobic chain, it binds to the oils and fats of the scalp, and the hydrophilic group interacts with water molecules to form a micellar structure, effectively removing dirt and excess oil. At the same time, compounding with betaine reduces the problem of excessive degreasing power. Ethyl-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanecarboxamide is a TRPM8 receptor agonist that activates the skin's cold receptors, producing a lasting cooling sensation and enhancing the comfort experience during shampooing. 2+ ) coordinate and cross-link to form a moisturizing network, enhancing the scalp barrier function. At the same time, zinc ions have anti-inflammatory and oil-control effects, synergistically improving the scalp microenvironment. The citric acid / sodium citrate buffer system maintains the pH of the shampoo in the weak acid range of 5.5-6.0 through the dynamic balance between the weak acid (citric acid) and its conjugate base (sodium citrate), reducing the irritation of the alkaline components to the scalp and protecting the scalp microecology. Disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid acts as a metal ion chelator. EDTA-2Na can bind Ca in water. 2+ Mg 2+ It removes hard water ions such as iodine and dextrin, preventing them from forming insoluble precipitates with surfactants. It also inhibits metal ion-catalyzed oxidation reactions, extending the product's shelf life. The thiol group (-SH) of cysteine can reduce the disulfide bonds (-SS-) in hair keratin, repairing damaged hair. It also acts as an antioxidant, reducing free radical damage to the scalp. Panthenol penetrates the stratum corneum and is converted into pantothenic acid, participating in lipid synthesis, strengthening the scalp's barrier function, reducing water loss, and promoting healthy hair growth. Deionized water serves as the solvent and continuous phase. Deionized water carries the various components through a hydrogen bond network, regulating the system's viscosity and fluidity, while preventing metal ions from interfering with the formula.
[0071] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0072] This invention significantly enhances the antibacterial and photoresponsive properties of the shampoo by incorporating azobenzene-modified zinc oxide nanoparticles into a synergistic combination with nanosilver / zinc oxide hybrid materials. The azobenzene groups impart photoisomerization capabilities to zinc oxide, enabling reversible manipulation of surface properties under ultraviolet irradiation, thereby intelligently controlling the release rate of the active ingredient. The introduction of nanosilver further enhances the system's broad-spectrum inhibitory effect against common scalp pathogens. The zinc oxide carrier effectively mitigates the problem of sudden silver ion release, extending the antibacterial effect.
[0073] The O / W / O triple emulsion matrix and jojoba oil / silicone oil complex employed in this invention form a unique dual-encapsulation structure, significantly improving the loading efficiency and stability of hydrophobic active ingredients. This system not only allows for the compatible coexistence of water-soluble and oil-soluble ingredients, but also creates a gradient release mechanism through interfacial engineering, allowing the active ingredients to exert their effects continuously at different stages of the washing and conditioning process. The combination of cationic guar gum and zinc hyaluronate forms a cationic film with repairing properties on the hair surface, significantly improving cuticle closure and enhancing hair gloss.
[0074] The formula system of the present invention precisely controls the pH range of the product through the synergistic effect of the citric acid / sodium citrate buffer system and cysteine, making it adaptable to the scalp microenvironment and effectively reducing irritation. The addition of ethyl-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanecarboxamide provides a cooling experience, while panthenol strengthens the barrier repair function of the scalp. The specially designed nanosilver / zinc oxide hybrid material preparation process ensures the uniform distribution of silver nanoparticles on the zinc oxide surface through the control of surface amination and in-situ reduction steps, thereby fully utilizing the synergistic antibacterial effect of the two inorganic materials. The overall formula achieves a multiple functional balance of anti-allergic, repair and comfortable experience while maintaining cleaning power. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0093] Photoresponsive release performance test
[0094] The drug release behavior of azobenzene-modified zinc oxide under alternating irradiation of 365 nm ultraviolet light and visible light was determined by UV-visible spectrophotometry. 50 mg of the sample was dispersed in 50 mL of PBS buffer (pH = 7.4) and exposed to UV light (365 nm, 10 mW / cm 2 ) and visible light (>420nm, 100mW / cm 2 ) was used to measure the concentration of active ingredient released within 0-24 hours under irradiation, and the cumulative release rate was calculated.
[0095] Emulsion stability test
[0096] The emulsion samples prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 3 were placed in a 50°C thermostat for accelerated aging for 30 days. Delamination was observed and particle size changes were measured. The initial and aged emulsion particle size distributions were measured using a laser particle size analyzer, and the D50 change rate was calculated. A centrifugal stability test (3000 rpm, 30 min) and a freeze-thaw cycle test (-20°C to 25°C, 5 cycles) were also conducted.
[0097] Hair repair performance test
[0098] Bleached, damaged human hair tresses (15 cm long, 0.5 g in weight) were treated with the samples from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 (5 mL each, 37°C for 5 minutes, rinsed, and blow-dried). The treatments were repeated 10 times before testing the hair properties. The hair scales were observed using a scanning electron microscope, the breaking strength was measured using a fiber strength tester, and the surface hydrophobicity was determined using a contact angle meter.
[0099] Scalp irritation test
[0100] Thirty healthy volunteers were recruited for a patch test. Skin reactions were observed 24 hours after the samples were applied to the inner forearm. Stratum corneum water content was measured using a Corneometer CM825, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) using a Tewameter TM300, and erythema index (EI) using a Mexameter MX18.

[0104]
[0105] As can be seen from Table 1, the test data analysis of the present invention shows that the present invention successfully solves the technical problems that existing shampoos are difficult to achieve long-term antibacterial and oil control, promote black hair formation, and lack of stability of active ingredients. Examples 1-3 show antibacterial properties that are significantly better than the comparative examples. Among them, the antibacterial rates of Example 3 against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli reached 99.1% and 98.3%, respectively, which is more than 50 percentage points higher than that of Comparative Example 1 (not containing modified zinc oxide), verifying the synergistic antibacterial effect of azobenzene-modified zinc oxide and nanosilver / zinc oxide hybrid materials. The light response release test showed that the active ingredient release rate of the example group under ultraviolet light reached 78.5-85.6%, while that of Comparative Example 2 (ordinary zinc oxide) was only 15.2%, confirming the key role of azobenzene photoisomerization in controlled release. In terms of emulsion stability, the particle size change rate of the example group (7.5-9.7%) was significantly lower than that of Comparative Example 3 (35.6%), proving that the O / W / O triple emulsion matrix effectively improved the stability of the system. In hair repair testing, the breaking strength retention of the Example group (86.5-91.3%) increased by approximately 30 percentage points compared to Comparative Example 1. Combined SEM observations revealed significant hair scale repair, attributed to the synergistic repair effect of cysteine and cationic guar gum. In skin irritation testing, the erythema index change (1.9-2.3ΔEI) of the Example group was lower than that of Comparative Example 2 (3.5ΔEI), demonstrating that the modified zinc oxide significantly reduced the irritation of traditional antimicrobial agents. Comprehensive test data demonstrates that the present invention, through three core technologies: light-controlled release of azobenzene-modified zinc oxide, sustained-release antimicrobial effects of nanosilver / zinc oxide hybrid materials, and stable encapsulation of an O / W / O triple emulsion, achieves a synergistic improvement in both antimicrobial durability and system stability, successfully overcoming the technical bottleneck of traditional shampoo products, which suffer from limited efficacy and easily inactivated active ingredients.
[0106] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and all such variations and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
