AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to integrate the three active ingredients—hydrophilic, lipophilic, and unstable matsutake extract, bakuchiol, and ergothioneine—into a single aqueous solution system, resulting in poor compatibility, low stability, and an inability to effectively exert antioxidant and anti-aging effects.
By adding co-surfactants and cross-linking polymers, a nanoscale microemulsion structure is formed. The combination of main surfactants and co-surfactants, along with the cross-linking polymers, forms a three-dimensional network structure in the system, improving the stability and uniformity of the active ingredients and enhancing interfacial stability.
This method achieves the stable existence and synergistic effect of matsutake mushroom extract, bakuchiol, and ergothionein in the same system, forming a nanoscale microemulsion. This improves the retention rate of active ingredients and the skin feel, and enhances the antioxidant and anti-aging effects.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of cosmetics, and particularly relates to a microemulsion cosmetic for resisting skin aging and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the upgrading of consumers' demand for skin care, cosmetics with multiple functions have become the mainstream development direction in the market. Repair, anti-aging and antioxidant are important functions that consumers pursue. Cosmetics with repair, anti-aging and antioxidant functions can effectively repair damaged stratum corneum, improve fine lines on the skin, resist oxidative damage, achieve comprehensive skin care effects, and meet the needs of consumers for multi-effect skin care.
[0003] CN116421482A discloses a composition containing tricholoma matsutake extract with anti-aging effect, which comprises tricholoma matsutake extract, ergothioneine and bakuchiol. The composition has a good repair effect on UV-induced skin photoaging damage, can avoid damage states such as dry skin, erythema, roughness, wrinkles and epidermal thickening, significantly reduce the levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory factors, avoid causing skin photo damage, effectively improve skin oxidation, repair skin barrier function and protect the skin.
[0004] However, from the solubility, the above-mentioned tricholoma matsutake extract has strong hydrophilicity, is easy to disperse in water phase but is difficult to be compatible with oil phase; bakuchiol is a fat-soluble ingredient and has typical lipophilicity. From the stability, the structure of the above-mentioned ergothioneine is easy to be affected by temperature, oxygen and the like, and is easy to be oxidatively degraded in the preparation and storage process of the cosmetic, resulting in poor stability and further losing antioxidant activity. It can be seen that although the tricholoma matsutake extract, ergothioneine and bakuchiol have significant synergistic effect in antioxidant and the like, it still faces great difficulty in how to productize the composition.
[0005] Therefore, how to integrate the functional components with differences in hydrophilicity, lipophilicity and instability into the same aqueous system, solve the problems of poor compatibility and low stability, and realize the stable existence and synergistic effect of the three in the same system have become one of the technical problems to be solved at present.

[0151] Seventy-five subjects were selected and divided into 15 groups, with 5 persons in each group. Each microemulsion cosmetic obtained from each example and comparative example was used by the subjects, and the following indexes of each microemulsion cosmetic were evaluated, respectively. The evaluation was performed by using a 5-point scale, and the score could be any integer or decimal number from 1 to 5.
[0152] ①Spreading property (1 point represents extremely great resistance to spreading, and 5 points represent extremely easy to spread);
[0153] ②Absorption speed (1 point represents very difficult to absorb, and 5 points represent extremely easy to absorb);
[0154] ③Freshness (1 point represents extremely strong sticky feeling on the skin, and 5 points represent extremely fresh).
[0155] The score results of each index are shown in Table 8.

[0158] From the data comparison of Tables 5-8, it can be seen that the microemulsion cosmetic according to the present application is a nano-sized emulsion with uniform particle size and good stability, and is not prone to stratification and precipitation. The addition of surfactants, co-surfactants and cross-linked polymers improves the retention rate of active substances (Bakuchiol and Ergothioneine), and the freshness of the cosmetic is maintained, and the absorption is fast and easy to spread.
[0159] From the data comparison of Example 1 and Examples 4-6 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that in the preparation process of the microemulsion cosmetic, the addition of cross-linked polymers can significantly improve the stability of the microemulsion, especially for unstable Ergothioneine, which can improve its retention rate. In addition, the combination of polyacrylate cross-linked polymer, acryloyl dimethyl ammonium taurate / VP copolymer and acrylic acid (ester) / alkyl alcohols acrylate cross-linked polymer has a significant synergistic effect in improving the stability of the emulsion, and the addition of the three components can further improve the retention rate of active substances.
[0160] From the data comparison of Example 1 and Example 7, it can be seen that in the preparation process of the microemulsion cosmetic, the addition of cyclodextrin in the aqueous phase can further improve the stability of the microemulsion and improve the retention rate of unstable active ingredients.
[0161] From the comparison of the data of Example 1 and Examples 8-10, it can be seen that hydrogenated lecithin, glycerol stearate citrate and polypropylene glycol decyl tetradecyl polyether have significant synergistic effect in improving the stability of microemulsion, and can further reduce the particle size of microemulsion and improve the uniformity of microemulsion.
[0162] From the comparison of the data of Example 1 and Examples 11-13 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the addition of co-surfactants can further improve the stability and uniformity of microemulsion, and thus improve the retention rate of active substances; in addition, glycerol, pentanediol and hexanediol have significant synergistic effect in improving the stability of microemulsion.
