Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of natural herbal extract lotion technology, specifically a foot wash and care method for foot care. Background Technology

[0002] Tinea pedis (commonly known as athlete's foot) is a prevalent skin disease caused by dermatophyte infection. Clinical manifestations include interdigital erosion, blisters, desquamation, or keratotic fissures. It is prone to recurrence and highly contagious. Due to the abundance of sweat glands and the moist environment of the feet, the fungus is difficult to eradicate, and patients often experience itching, pain, and even secondary infections. Current treatments primarily rely on antifungal medications (such as azoles and allylamines), but long-term use easily leads to drug resistance, and the efficacy varies significantly depending on the subtype (erosive, keratotic, etc.), making it difficult to meet the need for complete cure. Furthermore, insufficient foot skin care is also a concern.

[0003] There has been some exploration in the field of lotions made from natural herbal plant extracts: 1. Compound formulation (e.g., CN107397919B): This formulation uses multiple herbal plants (e.g., Hedyotis diffusa, Scutellaria baicalensis, etc.). Although it improves symptoms by clearing heat and detoxifying (cure rate 86%~92%), it has obvious drawbacks: ① The formulation is large (18~22 herbs) and the preparation process is complex; ② It has insufficient astringent effect on erosive tinea pedis and requires the use of Western medicines such as potassium permanganate to enhance the efficacy, increasing the risk of side effects; ③ It does not specifically regulate sweat gland secretion, resulting in unsatisfactory control of the recurrence rate.

[0004] 2. Simplified formulation (e.g., CN102451371A): A simplified formula using 10 herbs such as Sophora flavescens and Portulaca oleracea (86.6% cure rate) is available at a lower cost, but it still has shortcomings: ① It does not differentiate between types of tinea pedis, and its efficacy is weak for the squamous keratotic type; ② It lacks antiperspirant components, which cannot block the fungal growth environment, and the recurrence rate has not been publicly verified; ③ The efficacy is not stable enough, and severe patients need to extend the course of treatment.

[0005] In summary, existing technologies have not yet solved three core problems: ① Existing technology lacks precision in two-type treatment: the compound lotion has not optimized the differentiated formula for erosive (wound healing) and keratotic (softening and penetration) types; ② Existing technology 2 lacks recurrence control mechanism: neglecting the regulation of sweat gland secretion, and the fungal breeding environment is not eradicated; ③ Existing technology 2: Safety and cost balance: Over-reliance on Western medicine or complex formulations increases production costs and side effects risks.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a foot wash and care method for foot care, which can improve the cure rate while reducing the recurrence rate and cost. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a foot wash containing herbal plant extracts for foot care and a care method thereof.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: Firstly, a foot wash for foot care, made from components comprising the following parts by weight: Surfactant: 10-20 parts of sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate; Emulsifier: 3-8 parts of propyl U600 emulsifier; Solvent: 60-80 parts deionized water; Antibacterial agent: 3-5 parts; Skin care agent: 2-5 parts amino acid skin care agent; Moisturizer: 3-6 parts glycerin; Natural additives: 0.5-2 parts daily fragrance, 1-3 parts garlic extract, 1-3 parts soapberry extract.

[0009] This application employs a "herbal-chemical" composite formula system: on the one hand, it carefully selects natural plant ingredients such as garlic extract and soapberry to leverage their inherent antibacterial, astringent, and repairing effects; on the other hand, it scientifically proportions sodium polyvinyl ether sulfate (PVE) as a surfactant to ensure strong cleansing and foaming capabilities, and supplements it with amino acid skin care agents and glycerin to achieve simultaneous moisturizing and hydration during the cleansing process. This solution integrates natural and chemically effective ingredients through modern technology, effectively removing dirt and achieving a 99.9% broad-spectrum antibacterial rate. It provides long-lasting relief for multiple foot problems such as itchy feet, athlete's foot, blisters, peeling skin, foot odor, sweaty feet, and cracked feet. Simultaneously, it adheres to the safety and environmental protection principles of being "phosphorus-free, aluminum-free, and fluorescent agent-free," ultimately achieving a comprehensive effect of deep cleansing and antibacterial action while gently caring for the skin and repairing the skin barrier.

[0010] In one specific embodiment of the first aspect, the antibacterial agent is a component with broad-spectrum inhibitory effects on both fungi and bacteria, enabling the product to achieve an antibacterial rate of over 99% against common microorganisms on the feet.

[0011] In one specific embodiment of the first aspect, the formulation is free of phosphorus and aluminum.

[0012] In one specific embodiment of the first aspect, it is used to repair and improve foot problems caused by microbial infection or dryness, including but not limited to: itchy feet, athlete's foot, blisters, peeling skin, foot odor, excessive sweating, and cracked feet.

[0013] In one specific embodiment of the first aspect, the natural additives also include other natural plant extracts with antibacterial or skin-care functions.

[0014] The second aspect is a foot care method using a foot wash, which includes using a foot wash for antibacterial foot care to achieve deep cleansing, moisturizing the skin, long-lasting antibacterial effect, and repair of foot problems.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. A dual synergistic mechanism of "sweating suppression and source control - astringent repair" was constructed to regulate the secretion of sweat glands in the feet, eliminate the fungal breeding environment from the root, and significantly reduce the risk of recurrence. At the same time, based on the classification characteristics of erosive and keratotic tinea pedis, it achieves rapid astringency of ulcerated wounds and deep softening of cracked keratin. While improving the healing efficiency, the synergistic effect of pure herbal plant extracts completely avoids the safety risks caused by the stimulation of Western medicine, providing patients with a gentle and lasting radical cure. 2. This solution simultaneously optimizes treatment efficiency and production costs: On the one hand, the streamlined formula significantly reduces the consumption of medicinal materials and the complexity of the decoction process, reducing energy and time investment; on the other hand, the flexible nature of the classification and adaptation can cover a wider range of clinical needs, especially providing a universal solution for severe cases such as erosion and exudation and stubborn keratosis that are difficult to cure with traditional therapies, significantly shortening the treatment cycle and reducing the nursing burden, and promoting the industrial upgrade of athlete's foot treatment from symptom relief to root cause cure. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] A foot wash and treatment method for foot care.

[0018] First, add measured deionized water (60-80 parts by weight) to an emulsifying tank equipped with a stirrer and heat to 70-75°C. Then, while stirring, slowly add sodium fatty alcohol polyvinyl ether sulfate (10-20 parts by weight) and propyl U600 emulsifier (3-8 parts by weight) sequentially, maintaining this temperature and homogenizing for 20-30 minutes until the mixture is completely dissolved and forms a homogeneous system. Next, cool the system to 40-45°C and add an antibacterial agent (3-5 parts by weight), amino acid skincare agent (2-5 parts by weight), glycerin (3-6 parts by weight), daily fragrance (0.5-2 parts by weight), and the core natural additives, garlic extract (1-3 parts by weight) and soapberry extract (1-3 parts by weight), continuously stirring for 30 minutes to ensure all ingredients are fully mixed and stable. Finally, cool the product to room temperature, adjust the pH to a mild range of 5.5-6.5, and it is ready for bottling to obtain the final product. The foot wash prepared through this embodiment has a synergistic effect among its components, achieving effective cleaning, a 99.9% antibacterial rate, and repair effects on various foot problems. Moreover, the entire process does not require the addition of any phosphorus- or aluminum-containing compounds, ensuring the product's safety and environmental friendliness.

[0019] Example 1: The foot bath solution described in this embodiment is prepared through the following steps and proportions: 1. Material preparation: Prepare raw materials according to the following weight percentages: Sodium fatty alcohol polyvinyl ether sulfate: 15% (as the main surfactant, providing cleaning and foaming capabilities); Propyl U600 emulsifier: 5% (for stabilizing the system); Deionized water: Add to 70% (as a solvent); Antibacterial agent: 3% (provides over 99% broad-spectrum antibacterial effect); Amino acid skincare product: 3% (gently cleanses and moisturizes the skin); Glycerin: 4% (as a humectant); Daily fragrance: 0.8% (provides a pleasant scent); Garlic extract: 2% (core natural antibacterial and repairing ingredient); Soapberry extract: 2% (core natural plant-based cleaning ingredient).

[0020] 2. Preparation process: Phase A preparation: In a stainless steel emulsifying pot equipped with stirring and heating functions, add metered deionized water and heat to 70-75℃. Turn on the stirring and slowly add sodium fatty alcohol polyvinyl ether sulfate and propyl U600 emulsifier in sequence. Maintain this temperature and stir at 300-500 rpm for 20-30 minutes until all components are completely dissolved, forming a homogeneous and transparent matrix solution.

[0021] Cooling: Stop heating and allow the A-phase solution to cool naturally to 40-45℃.

[0022] Adding Phase B: While stirring slowly, add the antibacterial agent, amino acid skincare agent, glycerin, daily fragrance, garlic extract, and saponin extract to Phase A in sequence. Ensure that after each ingredient is added, homogenize and stir for 5-10 minutes before adding the next ingredient to guarantee that all components are fully and evenly dispersed.

[0023] Blending and Dispensing: After all ingredients have been added, continue stirring for at least 30 minutes to ensure the entire system is thoroughly mixed. Then, cool the product to room temperature (25-30°C). Use a pH adjuster (such as citric acid) to adjust the pH of the final product to a slightly acidic range of 5.5-6.5 to match the skin's natural pH and maintain the activity of the ingredients.

[0024] Filling: After standing and defoaming, quality inspection and filling can be carried out to obtain the final product.

[0025] 3. Product characteristics: The foot wash prepared according to this embodiment is a clear or slightly milky liquid with a pleasant plant fragrance. This product is phosphorus-free and aluminum-free, making it safe and environmentally friendly. Its core efficacy stems from the synergistic effect of chemical active ingredients and natural plant components such as garlic extract and soapberry extract. It not only achieves deep cleansing but also effectively inhibits common foot microorganisms, showing significant repair and improvement effects on problems such as itchy feet, athlete's foot, blisters, peeling skin, foot odor, sweaty feet, and cracked feet, while remaining gentle in nature.

[0026] Comparative experiment: By comparing with two existing technical solutions (Civil Code CN107397919B Example 4 (Prior Technology 1) and CN102451371A Example 1 (Prior Technology 2)) and a Western medicine control group, the differences in cure rate, recurrence rate and safety of this technology were systematically verified.

[0027] 1. Grouping and Treatment Methods Note: All patients in the Chinese medicine group soaked their feet once a day (2000mL of medicinal solution, 40℃ / 30min). Cases were matched according to the erosive type (interdigital ulceration and exudation) and the keratotic type (heel cracking and desquamation).

[0028] 2. Evaluation Indicators 3. Core Experimental Results (1) Comparison of cure rate and treatment efficacy by subtype Conclusion: The cure rate of this technology group (92.5%) for erosive type was significantly better than that of existing technology 1 (86.7%) and existing technology 2 (80.0%) (p<0.05). The recurrence rate (8.3%) was only half that of the existing technology 1 and one-quarter that of the Western medicine group, verifying the fundamental advantages of "antiperspirant + astringent".

[0029] (2) Validation of key mechanisms (analysis of erosive subgroup) in conclusion: This approach significantly accelerates wound drying (reducing convergence time by 35%). The antiperspirant mechanism directly reduces local humidity (sweat secretion is reduced by 68.7%), blocking the environment for fungal growth; The herbal plant-based wash formula is safe and has no adverse reactions, while existing technology 1 causes 13.3% of patients with burns due to the presence of potassium permanganate.

[0030] (3) Typical case comparison case (erosive type): Patient Li, interdigital ulceration with exudation (area 3cm²), VAS pruritus score 8.

[0031] Our team observed that the exudation stopped on day 5, the wound healed on day 12 (negative microscopic examination), and there was no recurrence for 3 months.

[0032] Existing technology group 1: Exudate decreased on day 8, healing occurred on day 15, but recurrence occurred on day 45 (positive microscopic examination).

[0033] Case (keratotic type): Patient Zhang, with a 2mm deep fissure on the heel.

[0034] Our technology team: cracks soften on day 10, and the stratum corneum recovers on day 25 (100% effectiveness).

[0035] Existing technology (Group 2): slight improvement on day 15, with an effectiveness rate of only 76.7% at day 30.

[0036] Experimental conclusions 1. Therapeutic advantages: The cure rate for erosive type is 92.5% (5.8-12.5 percentage points higher than half of the existing technology), and for keratotic type it is 90% (6.7 percentage points higher than the existing technology). The recurrence rate was 8.3% (only 41.5% of the existing technology 1), confirming the "suppressing sweat to treat the root cause" mechanism.

[0037] 2. Mechanism Advantages: Wound closure speed increased by 35%; Sweat secretion was inhibited by 68.7%.

[0038] 3. Security advantages: The pure herbal plant extract group had zero adverse reactions, while existing technology 1 caused 13.3% burning pain due to the ingredients of Western medicine.
