Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of daily cleansing and skin care, and specifically to a cold-processed handmade soap that is prepared through optimization of the proportion of animal fats and oils, precise control of the water phase, and triglycoside fermentation technology. The soap has high stability, cleansing and skin care, antibacterial and soothing effects (glycyrrhizic acid inhibits bacteria, astragaloside IV repairs, and baicalin resists and resists), and is suitable for a variety of skin types. Background Art
[0002] Cold-processed handmade soap uses a low-temperature process (usually ≤45°C) throughout the entire process, eliminating the need for high-temperature heating. This allows it to retain the natural active ingredients (such as vitamins, fatty acids, and other nutrients) in oils and additives to the greatest extent possible. Compared to industrial hot-processed soap, it offers more natural skincare advantages and has become one of the mainstream products in the natural skincare market in recent years. However, existing cold-processed handmade soaps still face many technical pain points in practical applications, as follows:
[0003] (1) Unreasonable oil and fat ratio leads to functional imbalance. The core functions of cold-process soap (cleansing power, moisturizing power, mildness) mainly depend on the fatty acid composition of the oil:
[0004] 1. Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, which has strong cleaning power, but excessive degreasing can easily lead to dry skin;
[0005] 2. Olive oil contains a lot of oleic acid, which has excellent moisturizing properties but weak cleaning power;
[0006] 3. Animal fats (such as butter and mutton fat) can increase the hardness of the soap, but using them alone can easily make the soap thick and the foam less fine;
[0007] 4. Existing cold-process soaps often use only two or three oils, making it difficult to strike a balance between cleansing and moisturizing. For example, cold-process soaps for dry skin often lack cleansing power due to a reduced proportion of coconut oil, while products for oily skin often cause skin tightening due to a high proportion of coconut oil.
[0008] (2) Low utilization rate and poor stability of Chinese herbal medicine ingredients
[0009] To enhance the skincare benefits of cold-process soap, some products add Chinese medicinal herbs (such as licorice, astragalus, ginseng, etc.). However, the existing addition method has obvious drawbacks:
[0010] 1. When adding Chinese herbal medicine powder directly, due to the large particle size of the powder (usually ≥100 mesh), it is difficult to disperse evenly in the low-temperature saponification system of cold-process soap, which easily leads to precipitation or mottled soap body, affecting the appearance and feel of use;
[0011] 2. When Chinese herbal medicine extracts are prepared by water extraction or alcohol extraction, the active ingredients in the Chinese herbal medicines (such as glycyrrhizic acid and ginsenosides) are mostly macromolecular substances with low solubility in the oil-alkali system of cold soap making. In addition, the unconverted components are easily combined with fatty acids to form precipitation, resulting in insufficient utilization of the active ingredients.
[0012] 3. The dispersion of ingredients is poor under the cold process. The saponification reaction of cold-processed soap is carried out at a low temperature (38-40°C). Compared with the high temperature environment of hot-processed soap, the reaction rate of oil and alkali solution is slower, and the viscosity of the system increases quickly (that is, the "trace" state appears early). If solid or high-concentration liquid ingredients (such as Chinese herbal medicine extracts) are added at this time, the lack of fluidity of the soap solution may lead to uneven dispersion of ingredients, forming local high-concentration areas, which not only affects the stability of efficacy, but may also cause skin sensitivity due to the residual local irritating ingredients (such as unsaponified alkali);
[0013] 4. The activity of antibacterial ingredients decreases significantly during storage, and the natural activity is not retained enough. The natural ingredients of cold-processed soap (such as unsaturated fatty acids in oils and fats, and polyphenols in traditional Chinese medicine) are easily oxidized under light and high temperature (>30°C), causing the soap to become rancid and darken in color, accompanied by a decrease in antioxidant efficacy. In the existing technology, most cold-processed soaps have not optimized their formulas to address this problem, resulting in a significant decrease in the product's efficacy during the shelf life (usually 6-12 months). Summary of the Invention
[0014] The present invention aims to solve the problems of unbalanced oil and fat ratios, low utilization rate of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, and poor activity stability in existing cold-processed soaps, and to provide a cold-processed handmade soap that balances cleansing and moisturizing and fully utilizes the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine. The present invention adopts a cold-processing process, with composite oils such as coconut oil, animal fats, sunflower oil, sweet almond oil, grape seed oil, and sea buckthorn oil as the base material, and compounded with fermented extracts of traditional Chinese medicines such as licorice, astragalus, and astragalus, which are mixed at low temperature and naturally saponified and matured. The cold-processing and low-temperature characteristics prevent high temperatures from destroying the natural nutrients of oils and the activity of fermented extracts. Through the synergistic effect of oils and fermented ingredients, the finished foam is delicate and gentle, cleansing while retaining more natural active substances, and moisturizing for a long time; and the fermented extract can improve the utilization rate of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients and enhance the antibacterial and antioxidant effects. Supramolecular reverse micelle fermentation technology, the antibacterial activity retention rate is ≥90% after 6 months of storage.
[0015] 1. Core Technology Solution
[0016] 1. Oil-water phase two-way regulation:
[0017] -Animal fats (butter / mutton fat) account for 50-60% (30-40 parts), saturated fatty acids (tallow palmitic acid 25-30%) increase hardness to 35-40 Shore A; liquid oils (sunflower oil, sweet almond oil, etc.) adjust skin feel, and the INS value of 140-160 is suitable for different skin types.
[0018] - Precise control of total moisture = 2.3-2.6 times the weight of NaOH, ensuring a saponification rate of ≥95% (free alkali ≤0.1%) and a stable soap body moisture content of 15-20%.
[0019] 2. Synergistic antibacterial system of triterpenoid glycosides:
[0020] Using Bacillus subtilis to ferment Glycyrrhiza-Urticae-Astragali (3:2:1), glycyrrhizic acid (≥2.0%) destroys the cell membrane of pathogenic bacteria, astragaloside (≥0.04%) enhances the skin barrier, and baicalin (≥9.0%) blocks drug-resistant enzymes, all three of which work together to make the staphylococcus aureus inhibition zone ≥16mm.
[0021] 3. Supermolecular encapsulation of active substances: reverse micelle encapsulation of triterpenoid glycoside active substances, with an inhibition activity retention rate of ≥90% after 6 months of storage.
