Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cosmetic preparation, in particular to a skin tightening and anti-wrinkle essence and a preparation process thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Animal umbilical cord extract, whose core component is exosome, is a nanoscale vesicle secreted by stem cells. As a messenger between cells, it encapsulates various bioactive molecules such as proteins, ribonucleic acids and deoxyribonucleic acids inside, showing great application potential in the fields of life science and beauty technology. Its mechanism of action lies in delivering these active substances to damaged or aged cells, effectively regulating cell function and supplementing cell content, thereby initiating the self-repair and regeneration mechanisms of the skin. Studies have shown that animal umbilical cord extract can effectively promote the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts, stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin, thereby achieving the purpose of lightening wrinkles and tightening skin. In addition, it can also show positive improvement on sensitive skin, acne marks, dull skin and other skin problems through repairing damaged skin barrier, inhibiting inflammatory response and improving microcirculation, and can enhance the overall immunity of the skin and achieve the effect of delaying aging from the source.
[0003] Although animal umbilical cord extract has excellent skin care effects, its large-scale application in the prior art still faces two core technical bottlenecks. First, the stability of its biological activity, as a biological vesicle with a lipid bilayer membrane structure, animal umbilical cord extract is extremely sensitive and fragile in conventional cosmetic matrices. Changes in environmental pH, incompatible solvents or chemical shocks from traditional preservatives can easily cause the vesicle structure to rupture, release and inactivate the active factors encapsulated inside, thereby losing its intended biological function. Second, the obstacle of its transdermal absorption efficiency, the stratum corneum, as the outermost physical barrier of the skin, naturally hinders the penetration of exogenous macromolecular substances. Although the particle size of animal umbilical cord extract is in the nanometer range, it is still a macromolecule relative to the intercellular space of the stratum corneum, making it difficult to effectively penetrate the barrier and reach the target cells in the deep epidermis and dermis. Therefore, although there are related concept products on the market, most of them fail to solve the above-mentioned core problems of stability and absorption efficiency, resulting in a significant reduction in actual effectiveness and the inability to fully realize the potential of the active substance. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a skin tightening and anti-wrinkle essence and a preparation process thereof, which solves the problems in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a preparation process of a skin tightening and anti-wrinkle essence, comprising the following steps: (1) Preparation of animal umbilical cord extract: The umbilical cord tissue of an animal is obtained, washed and disinfected, and cut into tissue pieces; the tissue pieces are subjected to adherent culture, and when the cell growth fusion degree reaches 80-90%, trypsin digestion and subculture expansion culture are performed; when the cell fusion degree reaches 80-90% again, the culture medium is replaced with a serum-free culture medium for continued culture, and after the culture is completed, the cell culture supernatant is collected; the collected supernatant is subjected to low-speed centrifugation in sequence to remove cells and dead cells, then concentrated through tangential flow membrane technology, and finally filtered through a microporous filter to remove bacteria, thereby obtaining an animal umbilical cord extract; (2) Preparation of the serum: The animal umbilical cord extract prepared in step (1) is mixed with water, butylene glycol, glycerol, hydroxypropyl tetrahydro pyran triol, 1,2-hexanediol, trehalose, p-hydroxyacetophenone, allantoin, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate, tetrahydro methyl pyrimidine carboxylic acid, xanthan gum and fragrance, and subjected to homogenization treatment under stirring, and then left to stand for defoaming, thereby obtaining a skin firming and anti-wrinkle serum.
[0006] Preferably, the serum is composed of the following components by weight percentage: Water: 80-90%; Butylene glycol: 2-10%; Glycerol: 2-8%; Hydroxypropyl tetrahydro pyran triol: 0-3%; 1,2-Hexanediol: 0-3%; Trehalose: 0-2.5%; P-hydroxyacetophenone: 0-1.5%; Allantoin: 0-2%; Animal umbilical cord extract: 0-2%; Hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate: 0-1.5%; Sodium hyaluronate: 0-1%; Tetrahydro methyl pyrimidine carboxylic acid: 0-1%; Xanthan gum: 0-0.8%; Fragrance: 0-0.5%.
[0007] Preferably, the adherent culture in step (1) is performed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator.
[0008] Preferably, after the serum-free culture medium is replaced in step (1), the continued culture is performed for 72 hours.
[0009] Preferably, the low-speed centrifugation in step (1) includes: centrifugation at 300g for 10 minutes at 4°C to take the supernatant; and centrifugation at 2000g for 10 minutes to take the supernatant.
[0010] Preferably, the microporous filter used for the bacteria removal filtration in step (1) has a pore size of 0.22 μm.
[0011] Preferably, butanediol in step (2) is compounded with trehalose to build a microenvironment with osmotic pressure and structural stability to maintain the activity of animal umbilical cord extract; 1,2-hexanediol is compounded with p-hydroxyacetophenone to form a mild preservative system.
[0012] Preferably, butanediol in step (2) synergizes with sodium hyaluronate to promote the transdermal absorption of animal umbilical cord extract through hydration and gradient osmosis.
[0013] Preferably, animal umbilical cord extract in step (2) synergizes with hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrane triol, the former activates cells as a signal transmission, and the latter promotes the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans as a structural material, together realizing skin structure remodeling.
[0014] Also provided is a skin tightening and anti-wrinkle essence prepared by the preparation process of the skin tightening and anti-wrinkle essence.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: By constructing a unique compound system, a stable and suitable microenvironment is successfully created for the core active ingredient animal umbilical cord extract. The synergistic effect of multiple moisturizing agents and biological protective agents in the formula can form a protective layer on the surface of exosome vesicles, effectively regulate the osmotic pressure balance, and prevent it from being broken and inactivated due to changes in the external environment. At the same time, the mild preservative system used avoids chemical damage to the lipid membrane of the vesicle by traditional preservatives, thereby maximizing the structural integrity and biological activity of the core active ingredient during the entire shelf life of the product, ensuring the stable exertion of product efficacy.
[0016] The synergistic effect of multiple ingredients significantly improves the transdermal absorption efficiency of the macromolecular active substance animal umbilical cord extract. The small molecular alcohol moisturizing agent in the formula can effectively hydrate the stratum corneum, temporarily increase the fluidity of the lipid between keratinocytes, thereby opening the penetration channel for active ingredients. On this basis, the small molecular sodium hyaluronate can penetrate first, establishing a water gradient from the surface to the inside of the skin, using this driving force to guide and carry the umbilical cord extract to the deep layer of the skin, greatly improving its bioavailability, so that it can efficiently act on deep target cells.
[0017] The synergistic effect between various functional components is achieved, and the skin care effect far exceeding the superposition of single component is achieved. The umbilical cord extract of animal as a signal soldier is scientifically compounded with hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyran triol as a structural material. The former is responsible for transmitting biological signals to fibroblasts, instructing them to start the regeneration program and up-regulate the gene expression of collagen; the latter efficiently promotes the synthesis of extracellular matrix, providing sufficient raw materials for the assembly of collagen fibers, so that the remodeling process of skin structure is faster and more stable, and the anti-wrinkle firming effect is also improved in quality.
