[0002] Photoaging is a complex physiological process involving multiple layers of skin structure, different cell types, diverse signaling pathways, and numerous skin molecules and substances. Photoaging has a wide range of effects on skin function, including but not limited to skin barrier function, skin tone changes, wrinkle formation, and skin resistance.
[0003] The solar spectrum is composed of radiation of various wavelengths. The full spectrum of sunlight comprises 5% ultraviolet (UV), 45% visible light (VL), and 50% infrared (IR). Visible light primarily affects the skin by causing oxidative damage, while IR induces thermal damage and alters the integrity of skin cell mitochondria, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). UVA and UVB are the most significant wavelengths of UV radiation that cause skin damage. UV damages the skin barrier, weakening the skin's ability to resist photoaging, making it more susceptible to damage from UV rays and other factors, leading to photoaging. Summary of the Invention

[0084] Unless otherwise specified, all steps of the present application can be performed sequentially or randomly, preferably sequentially.
[0085] The solar spectrum is composed of radiation of various wavelengths. The full spectrum of sunlight comprises 5% ultraviolet (UV), 45% visible light (VL), and 50% infrared (IR). Visible light primarily affects the skin by causing oxidative damage, while IR induces thermal damage and alters the integrity of skin cell mitochondria, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). UVA and UVB are the wavelengths most responsible for skin damage.
[0086] Ultraviolet radiation affects keratinocyte proliferation, differentiation, and the expression of permeability-related proteins on the cell membrane. It also influences the content and ratio of intercellular lipids in the epidermis and the expression of enzymes and proteins involved in corneal mantle differentiation. Therefore, UV damages the skin barrier. UVA-induced immediate pigmentation occurs primarily through photooxidation of existing melanin rather than the synthesis of new pigments, while UVB leads to persistent pigmentation. Therefore, UV radiation can cause hyperpigmentation. UV radiation penetrates the surface layers of the skin, reaching the lower layers of the epidermis, generating harmful reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS), which cause inflammation and sunburn, and accelerate skin aging. Increased ROS production leads to increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMPs (MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-9) are responsible for destroying collagen and degrading dermal matrix proteins, leading to damage to collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and elastin, further accelerating skin aging. UV radiation can also induce angiogenesis or dilation, and can contribute to the development of skin cancer.
[0087] When ultraviolet rays damage the skin barrier, the skin's ability to resist photoaging will be weakened, making the skin more susceptible to damage from ultraviolet rays and other factors, resulting in photoaging.
[0088] Nucleic acids are an important class of biomolecules in living organisms, playing a key role in storing and transmitting genetic information within cells. Nucleic acids are divided into two main types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). PDRN, a growth factor-like bioactive molecule, is one of the building blocks of DNA within cells and possesses natural biocompatibility. Nucleic acids exert powerful anti-inflammatory and repairing effects in wound healing, scar repair, and joint damage, and they also promote angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and the activity of fibroblasts and osteoblasts. However, PDRN has a short half-life of only approximately three hours, and its inherent negative charge makes it difficult to be internalized by receptor cells. Due to their negative charge, high molecular weight, and hydrophilic nature, nucleic acids have a poor ability to penetrate cell membranes, significantly limiting their application in cosmetics.
[0089] Based on the above problems, the present application non-covalently modifies nucleic acids on a nanoemulsion containing barrier-repairing lipids. The nanoemulsion penetrates the barrier-repairing lipids into the skin and precisely locates them on keratinocytes through the action of nucleic acid molecules, thereby accelerating the binding speed of the nanoemulsion to the cells, achieving targeted promotion of the absorption and effect of the barrier-repairing lipids, and achieving the effect of resisting photoaging.
[0090] One or more embodiments of the present application provide a nanoemulsion composition, comprising a nanoemulsion and a nucleic acid loaded on the surface of the nanoemulsion, the nanoemulsion comprising an effective ingredient, an emulsifier, an emollient, an antioxidant, a moisturizer, and water; the effective ingredient comprises a barrier repair lipid, the barrier repair lipid comprises a sphingolipid, the sphingolipid comprises phytosphingosine, and the barrier repair lipid further comprises one or more of ceramide, free fatty acid, and cholesterol; the mass proportion of the nucleic acid in the nanoemulsion composition is 0.1%-0.6%.
[0091] It should be noted that the nanoemulsion is positively charged and the nucleic acid is negatively charged, and the nanoemulsion and the nucleic acid form a nanoemulsion composition through electrostatic self-assembly.
[0092] As a non-limiting example, the mass percentage of nucleic acid in the nanoemulsion composition can be, but is not limited to, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%, 0.25%, 0.3%, 0.35%, 0.4%, 0.45%, 0.5%, 0.55%, 0.6%, or a range between any two of the above mass percentages.
[0093] The use of phytosphingosine helps the nanoemulsion to carry a positive charge and can also increase the level of ceramide in the stratum corneum and the barrier function.
[0094] As we age or develop skin problems, the ceramide content in the intercellular lipids of the stratum corneum decreases. The ceramides, free fatty acids, and cholesterol added to the nanoemulsion can replace stratum corneum lipids, improve skin condition, and accelerate the repair of the skin barrier. Ceramides can also increase skin hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, protect against external stimuli, and repair the skin. They can also enhance the resistance of stratum corneum cells, improve the skin's adaptability and resistance to light exposure, protect against ultraviolet radiation, and enhance the skin's inherent resistance to photoaging.
[0095] Nucleic acids can bind to the A2A receptors expressed by keratinocytes. The A2A receptors are involved in the proliferation response of keratinocytes. Activation of the A2A receptors can promote the proliferation of keratinocytes. Activation of the A2A receptors can reduce the production and secretion of inflammatory cytokines by keratinocytes under inflammatory stimulation.
[0096] Understandably, the nanoemulsion composition of the present application forms a positively charged nanoemulsion through the regulation of specific components, and the linear nucleic acid is adsorbed on the nanoemulsion through electrostatic self-assembly with the negatively charged nucleic acid; because the nanoemulsion composition reaches a nanometer particle size, it has excellent permeability, thereby improving the skin permeability of the nucleic acid and increasing the bioavailability of the nucleic acid; at the same time, because the nucleic acid can specifically bind to the adenosine A2A receptor distributed on the keratinocytes, the targeting of the nucleic acid is used to accurately locate the nanoemulsion on the keratinocytes, which can accelerate the binding speed of the nanoemulsion to the cells, achieve targeted promotion of the absorption and effect of the barrier repair lipids, improve the bioavailability of the barrier repair lipids, accurately and scientifically repair the skin barrier, and enhance the skin's resistance to photoaging. In addition, by regulating the mass proportion of nucleic acids in the nanoemulsion composition within an appropriate range, it is beneficial to obtain a nanoemulsion composition with excellent stability.
[0097] In some embodiments, the mass proportion of phytosphingosine in the barrier-repairing lipids is 15%-50%; for example, it can be, but is not limited to, 15%, 17%, 20%, 22%, 24%, 26%, 28%, 30%, 32%, 34%, 36%, 38%, 40%, 42%, 44%, 46%, 48%, 50%, or a range between any two of the above values. When the mass proportion of phytosphingosine in the barrier-repairing lipids is within the above range, it is beneficial to further improve the stability of the nanoemulsion composition.
[0098] In some embodiments, the barrier-repairing lipids include phytosphingosine and one or more of ceramide EOS, ceramide NS, ceramide NP, ceramide AS, ceramide AP, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and cholesterol. It should be noted that the barrier-repairing lipids include phytosphingosine and one or more of ceramide EOS, ceramide NS, ceramide NP, ceramide AS, ceramide AP, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and cholesterol.
[0099] In some embodiments, the active ingredient further comprises one or more of glabridin, salicylic acid, astaxanthin, phenethylresorcinol, and hydroxypinacolone retinoate.
[0100] As one possible embodiment, the molecular weight of the nucleic acid is 5 wDa-150 wDa; for example, but not limited to, 5 wDa, 10 wDa, 20 wDa, 30 wDa, 40 wDa, 50 wDa, 60 wDa, 70 wDa, 80 wDa, 90 wDa, 100 wDa, 110 wDa, 120 wDa, 130 wDa, 140 wDa, 150 wDa, or a range between any two of the foregoing molecular weights. When the molecular weight of the nucleic acid is within the above range, its negative charge density forms a strong electrostatic interaction with the positive charge on the surface of the cationic nanoemulsion, significantly enhancing adsorption efficiency and delivery stability.
[0101] In some optional embodiments, the mass percentage of DNA in the nucleic acid is ≥70%. Thus, the stability of its double-stranded structure is significantly improved, which can enhance the electrostatic binding efficiency with the cationic nanoemulsion.
[0102] In some exemplary embodiments, the mass percentage of DNA in the nucleic acid is ≥90%.
[0103] As a possible embodiment, the emulsifier includes one or more of alkyl glycoside emulsifiers, polyol ester emulsifiers, Span emulsifiers, Tween emulsifiers, phosphate emulsifiers, fatty alcohol polyether emulsifiers, polyglycerol emulsifiers and high molecular polymer emulsifiers.

[0232] 2. TEM Observation
[0233] The nanoemulsion composition and nano essence cream prepared in Example 8 were subjected to TEM testing. The testing method was as follows: the nanoemulsion composition and nano essence cream were diluted 10 times with water to obtain test samples. The test sample was dropped onto a copper mesh. After a few seconds, the copper mesh sample was gently picked up with tweezers and excess liquid was absorbed along one side with filter paper. After it was slightly dry, the copper mesh was placed on a drop of 2% phosphotungstic acid dye solution and stained for 60 seconds. After it was picked up with tweezers, excess liquid was also absorbed along one side with filter paper. The membrane was placed on the filter paper with the membrane facing up to dry. The sample was observed and photographed using a transmission electron microscope. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown. Among them, Figure 1 (a) is a TEM image of the nanoemulsion composition, Figure 1 Middle (b) is the TEM image of the nano essence cream.
[0234] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the nanoemulsion composition is spherical. Figure 1 As shown in (a), the nanoemulsion is surrounded by layers of nucleic acid molecules. According to the scale, the particle size of the nanoemulsion can be measured to be approximately 100 nm. Figure 1 As shown in (b), after the nanoemulsion composition is prepared into an essence cream, the structure of the nanoemulsion is not destroyed, indicating that the nanoemulsion can exist well in the cream.
[0235] 3. Testing of keratinocyte phagocytic ability
[0236] Fluorescein free acid was used to label the essence creams in Example 8 and Comparative Example 9. Human immortal keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) cells were placed in a 25 cm 2 The cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with fetal bovine serum (10%), penicillin (100 units / ml) and streptomycin (50 units / ml) at 37°C in a carbon dioxide incubator (relative humidity 95%, carbon dioxide 5%).
[0237] HaCaT cells were plated at 2 × 10 5 Cells were cultured at a density of 100 μg / mL in glass-bottomed culture dishes overnight. 1 mL of sample (0.03%) was added and incubated at 37°C for another 30 minutes. The cell culture medium was discarded and the cells were rinsed three times with PBS. The nuclei were then stained with DAPI for 20 minutes. Finally, the cells were rinsed three times with cold PBS and observed using a laser confocal scanning microscope. Figure 2 shown.
[0238] like Figure 2As shown, in the comparative example 9 group, a small number of HaCaT cells showed weak fluorescence, while the fluorescence in the cells of the example 8 group was significantly stronger and more widely distributed, indicating that more cells successfully engulfed the fluorescently labeled Royal Light Repair Essence Cream of the example 8 group, and that the binding rate of the example 8 to the cells was faster. This shows that the nanoemulsion composition prepared in this application can effectively promote the binding ability of keratinocytes to the nanoemulsion composition.
