Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of daily chemical products, and specifically relates to a soothing essential oil composition and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] The demand for natural plant essential oils in the current daily chemical product industry is growing, with consumers preferring products that are purely natural, non-irritating, and offer multiple benefits. While existing technologies using single essential oils offer some soothing or mosquito-repelling effects, they have the following limitations:
[0003] Single function: Most essential oils only have a single function (such as soothing or mosquito repellent), lacking synergistic effects and unable to meet comprehensive needs.
[0004] Defects in the preparation process: The traditional steam distillation method for extracting essential oils results in low retention of active ingredients, significant loss of heat-sensitive components, and weak efficacy.
[0005] Short-lasting mosquito repellent effect: Single plant essential oils have a relatively short effective time in repelling mosquitoes.
[0006] Dependence on chemical additives: Synthetic mosquito repellent ingredients (such as DEET) may cause skin irritation.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a pure, natural, multi-functional, synergistic essential oil compound composition with a simple preparation process. Summary of the Invention

[0191] Test method: Refer to GB / T13917.9-2009 "Pesticide Registration - Indoor Efficacy Testing and Evaluation of Sanitary Insecticides - Part 9: Repellents"
[0192] Specific steps:
[0193] Sample preparation: Examples 1-3 were prepared into a 10wt% mixture using a 30wt% aqueous ethanol solution;
[0194] 10wt% Curcuma zedoaria essential oil: The Curcuma zedoaria essential oil prepared in Example 1 was prepared into a 10wt% mixture using a 30wt% aqueous ethanol solution.
[0195] 10wt% Cypress oil: Cypress oil was prepared into a 10wt% mixture using a 30wt% aqueous ethanol solution.
[0196] 10wt% Pine and Red Plum Essential Oil: The pine and red plum essential oil prepared in Example 1 was prepared into a 10wt% mixture using a 30wt% aqueous ethanol solution.
[0197] 10wt% Vitex essential oil: Vitex essential oil was prepared into a 10wt% mixture using a 30wt% aqueous ethanol solution.
[0198] 10wt% DEET: Prepare a 20wt% mixture of DEET using a 30wt% aqueous ethanol solution.
[0199] Sample application: Apply the sample evenly to the test area of one hand at a dosage of 1.5 μL / cm². 2 Apply an equal amount of 30wt% ethanol aqueous solution to the other hand as a control hand.
[0200] Mosquito preparation: Female Aedes albopictus mosquitoes that have not fed on blood 3-5 days after emergence.
[0201] Test conditions: Temperature 26±1℃, relative humidity 62±1%;
[0202] Attack Power Test: 300 mosquitoes are placed in a mosquito cage. The tester exposes 40×40mm of skin on the back of their hand, while the rest of their hand is completely covered. The hand is placed inside the cage for 2 minutes, and the tester closely observes. When a mosquito lands, the tester shakes their arm just before the mosquito's mouthparts pierce the skin, thus driving it away; this is recorded as one mosquito landing. Testers and mosquitoes with more than 30 mosquitoes landing are considered to have passed the attack power test, and this person and this cage of mosquitoes can then be used for a repellency test.
[0203] Repellency Test: Thirty-six test subjects with adequate aggression were selected (half male and half female, and they should not consume alcohol, tea, or coffee, or use products containing fragrances before or during the test). Four test subjects were assigned to each sample. A 50mm × 50mm skin area was drawn on the back of each of their hands, and 1.5 μL / cm² of the skin was applied to one hand. 2 The appropriate dosage was evenly applied to the sample to be tested, exposing a 40mm × 40mm portion while completely covering the rest. The other hand served as a blank control. Two hours after applying the sample, both hands were immersed in mosquito cages with acceptable attack power for 2 minutes, observing whether any mosquitoes came to land and feed. This was repeated every hour thereafter. If even one mosquito came to feed, the repellency was considered a failure. The effective protection time (in hours) of the sample was recorded. Each time, the control hand was tested first. Mosquito cages with acceptable attack power could continue the test; those with unacceptable attack power needed to be replaced with cages with acceptable attack power.
[0204] Data processing: The effective protection time of the sample to 4 testers was added together, and the average (rounded to one decimal place) was taken as the effective protection time of the sample. An effective protection time ≥6h was classified as Grade A efficacy, <6h but ≥4h as Grade B efficacy, and <4h as no efficacy.
[0205] The specific results are shown in Table 3.

[0208] According to the data in Table 3, the mosquito-repelling effects of Examples 1-3 used in this invention are significant, and at the same dosage, they are significantly better than DEET under the same concentration conditions. Comparing Example 1 with 10wt% of Curcuma zedoaria essential oil, Cypress cypress essential oil, Pine rosa essential oil, and Vitex negundo essential oil, it can be seen that in terms of mosquito-repelling efficacy, Curcuma zedoaria essential oil, Cypress cypress essential oil, Pine rosa essential oil, and Vitex negundo essential oil have a synergistic effect, and their combined use can significantly enhance the mosquito-repelling efficacy.
