TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the cosmetic technology field, in particular to a skin repair composition and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In daily life, ultraviolet rays, environmental pollution and frequent invasion of external allergens can easily cause skin inflammation, allergic reactions and accelerate skin aging. At the same time, unhealthy habits such as staying up late, greasy diet and improper skin care also affect skin health. Globally, about 71% of people believe that their skin is less resistant, and after being stimulated by external factors, they are prone to symptoms such as stinging, burning, itching and erythema.
[0003] By repairing the skin with skin care products, the skin can return to a healthy state, greatly improving the quality of life and health status. Although there are many plant extract skin care products on the market, they have the following problems: on the one hand, the efficacy is single and it is difficult to repair various skin problems; on the other hand, some active ingredients of plant extracts are easily destroyed by light, oxygen and temperature, and have poor stability; they are difficult to disperse uniformly, affecting the compatibility of the formula. In addition, some active ingredients of plant extracts have large molecular weight and are difficult to penetrate the skin lipid barrier, and the transdermal effect is not ideal. The above leads to the existing plant extract skin care products having single efficacy and poor skin repair effect.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a mild, safe and non-irritating skin repair composition with good skin repair effect. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application provides a skin repair composition and a preparation method and application thereof, which aims to solve the technical problems of single efficacy and poor skin repair effect of existing plant extract cosmetics.

[0026] In S5, the homogenization process is carried out at a pressure of 30 MPa for 7 to 12 minutes.
[0027] A third aspect of this application provides the use of the above-described skin repair composition in products for skin repair.
[0028] A fourth aspect of this application provides a cosmetic for skin repair, comprising 0.1 to 10 wt% of the above-described skin repair composition.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0030] The skin repair composition of this application can act at the three levels of skin cells, epidermis and dermis, and exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immune-enhancing effects through a multi-target mechanism. At the same time, it establishes a dual repair system from both internal and external perspectives, which activates internal healing power and strengthens the external protective barrier, comprehensively reduces skin problems and significantly improves skin health.
[0031] At the cellular level, Centella asiatica extract and ceramides promote cell proliferation and accelerate cell renewal. Ectoin prevents stress factors from damaging cells, increases cellular stress resistance, and accelerates cell repair. In the epidermis, α-bisabolol, glycyrrhetinic acid, and sodium glycinate eliminate micro-inflammation in the skin, alleviating acne, rashes, and other skin problems related to frequent skin irritation. Turmeric extract, guaiac oil, Centella asiatica extract, and tetrahydrocurcumin exert antioxidant activity, protecting keratinocytes and fibroblasts from oxidative stress damage. In the dermis, turmeric extract inhibits collagen damage, and Centella asiatica extract promotes collagen synthesis, jointly enhancing skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
[0032] From the perspective of endogenous healing activation, guaiac oil inhibits mast cell degranulation, suppresses allergic reactions, stimulates the lymphatic system to fight infection, and enhances the immune system; glycyrrhetinic acid inhibits the production and release of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and prostaglandins, regulates immune function, and relieves the toxic side effects of external factors on the skin; ectoine enhances skin immunity; centella asiatica extract promotes barrier damage repair; and ceramides assist in thickening of the stratum corneum and repair of damaged skin.
[0033] From the perspective of strengthening the skin's external protective barrier, Centella asiatica extract, turmeric extract, tetrahydrocurcumin, glycyrrhetinic acid, and sodium glycinate can improve and restore the changes in the appearance and cell structure of skin fibroblasts induced by ultraviolet radiation or external stimuli. Alpha-bisabolol acts on skin exposed to ultraviolet radiation, exerting a calming and soothing effect and reducing sunburn redness. Ceramides and ectoine enhance skin hydration, forming a hydration layer to protect the skin and strengthen the skin barrier function.
[0034] To address the issue of ceramide's high crystallinity and difficulty in compatibility with essential oils, this application utilizes tetrahydrocurcumin as a "molecular bridge," with the hydrophobic end binding to the alkyl chain of ceramide and the hydrophilic end complexing with the polar group of guaiac oil, forming a stable complex. This complex maintains stability through hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and van der Waals forces, reducing the system's free energy and preventing ceramide crystallization or essential oil stratification.
[0035] Furthermore, the skin composition prepared in this application is a nanoemulsion, which not only has high stability and does not separate into layers during autoclaving or centrifugation, but also has the characteristics of low viscosity, small and uniform particle size, which helps to disrupt the tight structure of the stratum corneum, allowing active ingredients to enter the stratum corneum smoothly, significantly improving the transdermal absorption effect, and having a certain sustained-release and targeted effect; it is both hydrophilic and lipophilic, has a high solubility for active ingredients, and also has certain antibacterial, moisturizing and repairing effects on the skin.

[0050] This application leverages the advantages of nanoemulsions, combining a dual repair system that activates the healing power of the repair composition from within and strengthens the external protective barrier, with the targeting properties of structured lipid MCMs, to develop an all-around repair nanoemulsion with good transdermal absorption, high skin retention, strong targeting, convenient and safe use, capable of solving various skin problems, and suitable for various skin types and usage scenarios.
[0051] In a first aspect, this application provides a skin repair composition comprising, by weight percentage, the following components:
[0052] Centella asiatica extract 0.5%~5%, ectoine 1%~8%, α-bisabolol 1%~3%, guaiac oil 0.1%~0.5%, turmeric extract 0.03%~1%, tetrahydrocurcumin 0.2%~0.5%, glycyrrhetinic acid 0.1%~1%, sodium glycinate 0.01%~0.2%, ceramide 0.1%~3%, phospholipids 10%~20%, structured lipid MCM 3%~8%, surfactant 2%~6%, cosurfactant 15%~30%, soluble zinc salt 0.05%~0.15%, recombinant phospholipase A2 0.01%~0.1%, balance ultrapure water.
[0053] In the skin repair composition of this application, the functions of the plant ingredients are as follows:
[0054] Centella asiatica is renowned for its remarkable restorative abilities, demonstrating significant efficacy in enhancing wound healing, restoring the nervous system and brain cells, and treating psoriasis, lupus, and ulcers. The abundant pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins, secondary metabolites accumulated during its growth, are crucial to its pharmacological effects. These include asiaticoside, hydroxyasiaticoside, asiaticoside, and asiaticoside acid, all of which exhibit significant biological effects in promoting skin damage repair. They also possess anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and collagen-synthesizing properties. Using Centella asiatica extract for skincare can enhance skin hydration, protect the damaged skin barrier, reduce allergies, and relieve skin pain and itching; inhibit collagen breakdown and delay skin aging; and improve and restore UV-induced changes in the appearance and structure of skin fibroblasts.
[0055] Ectoin has a wide range of cell protection functions. It can strongly complex water molecules to form organized water molecule clusters, thereby increasing the fluidity of lipid head groups in biomembranes, improving the ability of biomembranes to withstand extreme environments such as temperature or osmotic pressure, and further accelerating cell repair. It also effectively protects Langerhans cells (skin's immune cells, located in the epidermis), enhances skin immunity, and resists damage from external stimuli such as ultraviolet radiation.
[0056] Alpha-bisabolol is a classic soothing and redness-reducing active ingredient, key to the anti-inflammatory effects of plants such as chamomile and chamomile. Alpha-bisabolol effectively reduces the production of peroxidase (a major substance causing inflammation in the body), inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activity and the TLR4 / NF-κB / MAPK signaling pathway, and has a good inhibitory effect on both acute and chronic inflammation. Using alpha-bisabolol for skin care can effectively reduce acne, rashes, rosacea, psoriasis, and skin problems associated with frequent skin irritation; when applied to skin exposed to ultraviolet radiation, it has a calming and soothing effect, reducing sunburn and redness; it also helps other beneficial ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin.
[0057] The main chemical components of guaiac oil are guaiacol, rutinol, β-cineole, and α-rutinene, which can accelerate the healing process of skin wounds, reduce swelling and pain, have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, provide antioxidant and anti-aging benefits, and inhibit allergies. Guaiac oil suppresses allergic reactions by inhibiting mast cell degranulation, and fights infection and enhances the immune system by scavenging free radicals and stimulating the lymphatic system. In skin care, it can improve skin texture, strengthen the skin barrier, and delay aging.
[0058] The main bioactive components of turmeric extract are curcuminoids and volatile oils, which possess strong antioxidant and anti-aging effects. They can also significantly improve rough skin and enhance skin immunity. Curcumin, in particular, effectively scavenge reactive oxygen species and resist lipid peroxidation, preventing DNA breakage, enzyme inactivation, and damage to collagen, thus protecting keratinocytes and fibroblasts from external factors such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation and environmental pollution. Tetrahydrocurcumin, a major reducing metabolite of curcumin, exhibits better chemical stability, water solubility, and lipid solubility than curcumin, and its antioxidant activity is more than three times higher than that of curcumin, remaining stable within a pH range of 3-9.
[0059] Glycyrrhetinic acid can bind to corticosteroid receptors, exhibiting mild mineralocorticoid-like effects and unique efficacy in anti-inflammation and anti-allergy. It can inhibit the production and release of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and prostaglandins, regulate skin's immune function, and relieve the toxic side effects of external factors on the skin. It can also inhibit the production and release of inflammatory mediators, eliminate micro-inflammation on the skin surface, prevent pigmentation spots caused by inflammation, and quickly brighten skin tone. Glycyrrhetinic acid is also an antioxidant, which can resist photodamage and photoaging caused by sunlight by inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species and preventing the formation of oxidized DNA fragments. Sodium glycyrrhetinate, the disodium salt of glycyrrhetinic acid succinate, is a derivative of glycyrrhetinic acid and has good anti-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects. Sodium glycyrrhetinate can enhance the skin barrier function, improve immune function, and accelerate tissue regeneration. Its anti-inflammatory effect is superior to that of glycyrrhetinic acid, and it has fewer skin side effects.
[0060] Ceramides are an important component of the lipids in the stratum corneum of the skin, playing a crucial role in maintaining the homeostasis of the skin barrier function. Ceramides can form a tightly stacked network lipid structure through intermolecular non-covalent bonds, locking in skin moisture; they can significantly upregulate the transcription and protein expression levels of filaggrin mRNA, thereby promoting the synthesis and accumulation of natural moisturizing factors such as polycarboxylic acids; ω-OH-containing ceramides can covalently bind to the inner lining protein of the keratinized capsule of keratinocytes, thereby connecting the lipid matrix and keratinocytes, enhancing the skin barrier function, and reducing the penetration of external irritants into the skin. Therefore, ceramides can assist in thickening the stratum corneum, improve skin tolerance, and have moisturizing, anti-allergic, and repairing effects.
[0061] In this application, the structured lipid MCM is a mannose-conjugated medium-chain triglyceride derivative, which has a triglyceride core backbone, an ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid chain, and terminal mannose modification, forming a specific structure of "mannose-medium-chain fatty acid-glycerol-ω-3 fatty acid"; wherein the ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid chain is eicosapentaenoic acid. It can specifically target skin lymphatic vessel M cells through "mannose receptor-mediated endocytosis," releasing ω-3 fatty acids to inhibit the synthesis of pro-inflammatory factors, while the mannose regulates the antigen presentation function of M cells, reducing excessive immune responses and improving skin health.
[0062] In this application, a soluble zinc salt acts as a metal ion ligand. By forming a coordination bond with the carboxyl group of glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhetinic acid is embedded in the hydrophobic cavity, thereby improving the imbalance between the water solubility and lipid solubility of glycyrrhetinic acid and sodium glycyrrhizate, and optimizing the overall lipid-water partition coefficient. Simultaneously, the addition of zinc ions enhances transdermal absorption. The preferred soluble zinc salt is zinc lactate.
[0063] In this application, recombinant phospholipase A2 (rPLA2) utilizes the specific hydrolytic action of the enzyme on phospholipids to induce structural rearrangement of lipid components in the system, forming nanoscale ordered aggregates and triggering self-assembly, resulting in smaller particle size and more uniform distribution. The active ingredients in the system can embed into the hydrophobic / hydrophilic regions of the self-assembled structure, stabilizing the nanocarrier and regulating release behavior. The phospholipids are selected from at least one of soybean lecithin, cephalin, sphingomyelin, hydrogenated lecithin, or egg yolk lecithin.
[0064] In this application, the surfactant is at least one of Tween 20, castor oil polyoxyethylene ether 40, Span 80, sorbitan monooleate, polyglycerol-10 laurate, polyglycerol-10 oleate, or polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil; the co-surfactant is at least one of PEG400, 1,2-propylene glycol, glycerin, 1,3-butanediol, polypropylene glycol, ethoxydiethylene glycol, or glycerol polyether-26.
[0065] The skin repair composition of this application can work at the three levels of skin cells, epidermis and dermis through the synergistic effect of each component. It exerts anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immune-enhancing effects through a multi-target mechanism. At the same time, it establishes a dual repair system from both internal and external perspectives, which activates internal healing power and strengthens the external skin barrier, comprehensively reduces skin problems and significantly improves skin health.
[0066] Specifically, at the cellular level, Centella asiatica extract and ceramides promote cell proliferation and accelerate cell renewal; ectoine prevents stress factors from damaging cells, increases cell stress resistance, and accelerates cell repair. In the epidermis, α-bisabolol, glycyrrhetinic acid, and sodium glycerate eliminate micro-inflammation, alleviating acne, rashes, and other skin problems related to frequent skin irritation; turmeric extract, guaiac oil, Centella asiatica extract, and tetrahydrocurcumin exert antioxidant activity, protecting keratinocytes and fibroblasts from oxidative stress damage. In the dermis, turmeric extract inhibits collagen damage, and Centella asiatica extract promotes collagen synthesis, jointly enhancing skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
[0067] In terms of endogenous healing activation, guaiac oil inhibits mast cell degranulation, suppresses allergic reactions, stimulates the lymphatic system to fight infection, and enhances the immune system; glycyrrhetinic acid inhibits the production and release of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and prostaglandins, regulates immune function, and relieves the toxic side effects of external factors on the skin; ectoine enhances skin immunity; centella asiatica extract promotes barrier damage repair; and ceramides assist in thickening the stratum corneum and repairing skin damage.
[0068] Regarding strengthening the skin's protective barrier, Centella asiatica extract, turmeric extract, tetrahydrocurcumin, glycyrrhetinic acid, and sodium glycinate can improve and restore changes in the appearance and cell structure of skin fibroblasts induced by ultraviolet radiation or external stimuli. Alpha-bisabolol acts on skin exposed to ultraviolet radiation, providing a calming and soothing effect and reducing sunburn redness. Ceramides and ectoine enhance skin hydration, forming a hydration layer to protect the skin and strengthen the skin barrier function.
[0069] To address the issue of ceramides' high crystallinity and incompatibility with essential oils, this application utilizes tetrahydrocurcumin as a "molecular bridge," with the hydrophobic end binding to the alkyl chain of ceramides and the hydrophilic end complexing with the polar groups of guaiac oil, forming a stable complex. This complex maintains stability through hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and van der Waals forces, reducing the system's free energy and preventing ceramide crystallization or essential oil stratification.
[0070] Based on the above synergistic effects, the skin repair composition of this application has good transdermal absorption, high skin retention, strong targeting, and is convenient and safe to use. It can solve a variety of skin problems and is suitable for a variety of skin types and usage scenarios.

[0075] S4. Under stirring, the mixture is slowly added to the oil phase, then recombinant phospholipase A2 is added, and after stirring, homogenization and shearing are performed to obtain the colostrum.

[0080] Specifically, the homogenization process is carried out at a pressure of 30 MPa for 7 to 12 minutes.
[0081] The skin composition obtained by the above preparation method is a nanoemulsion, which not only has high stability and does not separate into layers during high-pressure sterilization or centrifugation, but also has the characteristics of low viscosity, small and uniform particle size, which helps to break the tight structure of the stratum corneum, allowing active ingredients to enter the stratum corneum smoothly, significantly improving the transdermal absorption effect, and has a certain sustained-release and targeted effect; it is both hydrophilic and lipophilic, has a high solubility for active ingredients, and also has certain antibacterial, moisturizing and repairing effects on the skin.

[0136] The performance of the skin repair composition emulsions prepared in the embodiments and comparative examples of this application was evaluated as follows:
[0137] 1. Stability Testing
[0138] The samples prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 2-4 of this application were placed in sealed containers and stored at -18°C, 4°C, room temperature, and 45°C for 90 days each. The samples were examined at room temperature after the initial condition and 90 days to check for precipitation or stratification, and the particle size was measured. The test results are shown in Table 1. A demulsifier (methanol / acetonitrile, volume ratio 1:1) was used for treatment, and the retention rate of the active ingredient was analyzed and calculated by high-performance liquid chromatography.
[0139] Table 1. Stability test results of samples from the examples and comparative examples.
[0140]
[0141] As shown in Table 1, the samples from Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 2-3 all exhibited good stability. After being placed at -18℃, 4℃, room temperature, and 45℃ for 90 days, no precipitation or stratification occurred, the particle size change was small, the uniformity of the nanoemulsion dispersion system was maintained, and no leakage of active ingredients was observed, ensuring efficacy and providing convenient storage. Specifically, the products prepared in Examples 1-4 had smaller particle sizes, smaller particle size variations, and more stable systems than those in Comparative Examples 2-4, with active ingredient retention rates all exceeding 96%. Comparative Example 4, prepared using the nanoemulsion technology of this application, presented a suspension state with poor stability, and the active ingredient retention rate was significantly lower than other samples. This indicates that the preparation process of this application is more advantageous.
[0142] 2. Anti-inflammatory capacity test
[0143] HaCaT cells with a confluence of 80-90% were treated with digestion solution, centrifuged, and then seeded into 6-well plates and incubated for 24 h. Once the cell deposition rate in the plates met the testing requirements, negative control, positive control, and test groups were set up for experiments. The negative control group received maintenance culture medium, the positive control group received maintenance culture medium containing 1 ng / mLEGF, and the test group received cell culture medium containing samples from Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 (diluted to 1%). All samples were diluted with purified water. Each sample group had three replicate wells, and incubation continued for 24 h. After incubation, the culture medium was aspirated from the plates, and 1 mL of PBS was added to each well. The culture was then subjected to a pulse at an intensity of 30 mJ / cm². 2 All samples were irradiated with UVB ultraviolet light for 40 min, then the liquid in the sample wells was discarded and cell culture medium was added back in. The samples were cultured for another 24 h, and the cell supernatant was collected. TNF-α and IL-6 levels were detected according to the ELISA kit instructions. The results are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.
[0144] from Figure 1 and Figure 2It was found that UVB light induced a large expression of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6) in HaCaT cells, while the positive control group and Examples 1-4 all significantly reduced the expression of inflammatory factors in HaCaT cells, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.01). Furthermore, the effects of the examples were superior to those of the control group. These results indicate that the samples from Examples 1-4 of this application can significantly reduce the expression of cellular inflammatory factors, alleviate inflammatory responses, and improve skin health.
[0145] 3. Protective effect against H2O2-induced oxidative damage to HaCaT cells
[0146] HaCaT cells with a confluence of 80-90% were treated with digestion solution and then centrifuged at 5 × 10⁻⁶. 4 Cells were seeded at a density of cells / well in 96-well plates and cultured for 24 h. Experimental and control groups were set up. The experimental groups were supplemented with samples from Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 diluted to 1%. After 24 h, the drug culture medium was removed, the cells were washed once with PBS, and then 300 μM hydrogen peroxide was added. The control group did not receive hydrogen peroxide but received an equal volume of culture medium. After 4 h, the culture medium was removed, the cells were washed once with PBS, and then culture medium containing 10% CCK8 was added. After incubation for 1 h, the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0147] Depend on Figure 3 It was found that after hydrogen peroxide damage, the cell viability in the model group was 18%, indicating that the hydrogen peroxide-damaged HaCaT model was successfully established. Compared with the blank group, the products prepared in Examples 1-4 all significantly improved the viability of oxidatively damaged HaCaT cells, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01). Among them, the product prepared in Example 3 had the strongest anti-oxidative damage performance. The products prepared in the examples of this application all had better effects than the comparative examples, indicating that the samples prepared in this application can help the skin resist photodamage and photoaging caused by sunlight exposure.
[0148] 4. 24-hour closed patch test on human skin
[0149] Thirty subjects who met the voluntary inclusion criteria were recruited. Using qualified patch testing equipment, a closed patch test method was employed. Approximately 0.020g to 0.025g of the test sample (Examples 1-4, Comparative Examples 1-4) was placed in the patch device, and a hypoallergenic adhesive tape was applied to the flexor side of the subject's forearm. The patch device was removed after 24 hours, and skin reaction was observed 0.5 hours after removal. Skin reaction was observed again 24 hours after patch removal. A negative control was used as a blank control. The results were recorded according to the skin reaction grading standards in LABC-WI-HZ-033 "Instructions for 24-Hour Closed Patch Testing of Human Skin," as shown in Table 2.
[0150] Table 2 Results of 24-hour closed patch test on human skin
[0151]
[0152] Human skin patch testing reproduces the reaction process of allergic contact dermatitis on local skin. As shown in Table 2, after 24 hours of contact with human skin, 0 out of 33 people experienced adverse reactions, with no erythema, swelling, or other symptoms. The results indicate that the nanoemulsion of the repair composition described in this application is mild and low-irritant to the skin, demonstrating high safety.
[0153] 5. Human efficacy testing
[0154] Volunteers were recruited for human efficacy testing. Participants were required to have no history of allergies, good skin condition, and not have taken any medications that might affect the efficacy before the test. Thirty volunteers were recruited (10 males and 20 females), all meeting the inclusion criteria. Before the test, blank control and sample application groups were designated, and 3cm × 3cm markings were made in the corresponding test areas. Skin moisture content was measured using a Moisturemeter, and skin elasticity (R7 value) was measured using a Skin Elastomer meter as baseline values. Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were evenly applied (2.0 ± 0.1 g) / cm² to the test areas. 2 No other products were allowed in the blank control and test areas. The moisture content and elasticity values of the control and test groups were measured at different time points after application (14 days and 28 days) to examine the effect of the test sample on skin moisture content and skin elasticity. The stratum corneum moisture value reflects the overall moisture content of the skin, while skin elasticity is an indicator of skin health, used to assess skin firmness and suppleness. The data shown are the average test data of all subjects. Results are as follows... Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown.
[0155] from Figure 4 , Figure 5It can be seen that after 28 days of continuous use, the moisture content of the stratum corneum of the skin in all examples increased significantly, with Example 1 showing the highest increase. Although Comparative Examples 1-3 also improved the moisture content of the stratum corneum, the increase was less than that in Examples 1-3. The repair nanoemulsion provided in this application can enhance the skin's hydration capacity and provide a stable and long-lasting moisturizing effect.
[0156] After 28 days of continuous use, skin elasticity significantly improved in all cases, with the highest increase observed in the examples. While comparative examples 1-3 also showed some improvement in skin elasticity, the increase was less pronounced than in the examples. The repair nanoemulsion provided in this application can tighten the skin, improve skin plumpness, and enhance the overall appearance of the skin.
[0157] Although this application has been described in detail in this specification with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this application are all within the scope of protection claimed in this application.
