[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0037] In this application, the technical features described in an open-ended manner include both closed technical solutions consisting of the listed features and open technical solutions that include the listed features.
[0038] In this application, numerical ranges are referred to as continuous unless otherwise specified, and include the minimum and maximum values of the range, as well as every value between the minimum and maximum values. Furthermore, when the range refers to integers, it includes every integer between the minimum and maximum values of the range. Additionally, when multiple ranges are provided to describe a feature or characteristic, the ranges may be merged. In other words, unless otherwise specified, all ranges disclosed herein should be understood to include any and all subranges to which they are incorporated.
[0039] In this application, there are no particular restrictions on the specific dispersion and mixing methods.
[0040] Unless otherwise specified, all components, raw materials, or instruments used in the embodiments and comparative examples of this application are commercially available, and the components and raw materials used in each parallel experiment are the same.
[0041] This application provides an anti-hair loss microemulsion, comprising the following components in parts by weight: 0.1 to 5 parts cationic emulsifier, 0.5 to 5 parts Platycladus orientalis leaf extract, 0.5 to 5 parts anti-hair loss composition, 1 to 40 parts nonionic emulsifier, 10 to 40 parts synergist and 39.5 to 53.4 parts water;
[0042] The anti-hair loss composition comprises processed Polygonum multiflorum extract, Coix seed extract and Astragalus membranaceus extract in a mass ratio of 1:(0.5-7):(0.5-7);
[0043] The synergist includes at least one of hydrogenated polyisobutylene, hydrogenated polydecene, hydrogenated didecene, neopentyl glycol diheptanoate, propylene glycol diheptanoate, and undecenoate heptyl ester.
[0044] This application combines the above-mentioned raw materials in specific mass proportions, allowing the components to interact and cooperate to effectively achieve synergistic effects through multiple pathways and targets, including inhibiting 5α-reductase activity, protecting hair follicles from free radical damage, improving the scalp microenvironment, promoting blood circulation and proliferation in hair follicles, soothing scalp inflammation, and strengthening the scalp barrier function. The synergist, nonionic emulsifier, and cationic emulsifier effectively enhance the adsorption performance of the active ingredients (Thuja orientalis leaf extract and anti-hair loss composition) on the scalp and hair. The anti-hair loss microemulsion has a comprehensive and highly effective anti-hair loss effect, suitable for multi-factor driven hair loss types such as androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic alopecia, while also effectively inhibiting Malassezia and effectively removing dandruff while preventing hair loss.
[0045] The cationic emulsifier significantly enhances the adsorption efficiency of active ingredients on the scalp and hair through electrostatic interaction, while the nonionic emulsifier reduces surface tension, improves the spreadability and wettability of active ingredients, allowing for more even distribution and fuller contact with the scalp and hair. The synergist adsorbs onto the hair and scalp surface through physical adsorption and hydrophobic interactions, forming a continuous, thin, hydrophobic oil film. This film extends the retention time of active ingredients through a physical barrier effect and assists in their dispersion, improving transdermal absorption. The synergist and cationic emulsifier together reduce the rinsing loss rate of active ingredients. The synergist, nonionic emulsifier, and cationic emulsifier construct a cross-linked network structure on the hair and scalp, effectively improving emulsification and dispersion of active ingredients. This significantly enhances the adsorption performance of the active ingredients (Thuja orientalis leaf extract and anti-hair loss composition) on the scalp and hair, significantly improving their utilization and retention, and significantly enhancing their anti-hair loss and dandruff-removing effects.
[0046] The efficacy of the components of the extract is as follows: The Platycladus orientalis leaf extract is rich in pinoresinol diglucoside, flavonoids (such as quercetin), volatile oils (containing α-pinene, β-pinene, etc.), polysaccharides, and other active ingredients. It can effectively inhibit 5α-reductase activity, reduce the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), effectively inhibit hair-pathogenic bacteria (Malassezia, Staphylococcus aureus), improve the scalp microenvironment, dilate scalp capillaries, increase blood flow to hair follicles, and effectively promote blood circulation in hair follicles. The processed Polygonum multiflorum extract is rich in stilbene glycosides, anthraquinone compounds, and flavonoids. It can activate hair follicle stem cells, promote cell proliferation, and propel hair follicles from the resting phase to the growth phase. It effectively regulates the hair follicle growth cycle, protects hair follicles from free radical damage, balances hair follicle miniaturization caused by excess androgens, and inhibits androgenetic alopecia. The Coix Seed Extract effectively regulates the scalp microecology, inhibits the growth of pathogens, promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, effectively soothes scalp inflammation, stimulates keratinocyte proliferation, accelerates the repair of damaged barriers, reduces transepidermal water loss, and provides a stable and healthy growth environment for hair follicles. The Astragalus Root Extract activates hair follicle cells, promotes hair growth, and alleviates hair loss caused by seborrheic dermatitis, folliculitis, etc. In addition to the above-mentioned effects, there are still unpredictable synergistic or antagonistic effects between the components. Based on the specific emulsification system and specific mass ratio of this application, a multi-pathway and multi-target synergistic effect is achieved to enhance efficacy, effectively removing dandruff while preventing hair loss.
[0047] In some embodiments, the components include the following parts by weight: 1-2 parts cationic emulsifier, 2-3 parts Platycladus orientalis leaf extract, 2-3 parts anti-hair loss composition, 8-20 parts nonionic emulsifier, 25-35 parts synergist, and 48-51 parts water. In particular, when the parts by weight of each raw material are within this range, the overall compatibility of the formulation is better, and it has a more ideal synergistic effect, which can further improve the utilization rate of active ingredients and further improve the anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effects.
[0048] In some embodiments, the anti-hair loss composition includes processed Polygonum multiflorum extract, Coix seed extract, and Astragalus membranaceus extract in a mass ratio of 1:(2-3):(1-2). In particular, when the mass ratio of processed Polygonum multiflorum extract, Coix seed extract, and Astragalus membranaceus extract is within this range, the content of active ingredients in each oil-controlling pathway is not too low, the compatibility between the components is better, and the anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effects are more effectively improved.
[0049] In some embodiments, the synergist comprises hydrogenated polyisobutylene and hydrogenated polydecene in a mass ratio of 1:(1-1.5). During actual research and development, the applicant discovered that when a synergist composed of hydrogenated polyisobutylene and hydrogenated polydecene in a mass ratio of 1:(0.5-2) is used, the synergist can form a uniform and durable film on the hair surface, effectively reducing the loss of moisture and nutrients from the hair, helping to maintain the stability of the active ingredients on the hair, and prolonging the action time of the active ingredients. Simultaneously, the synergist can promote the uniform distribution and adhesion of cationic emulsifiers on the hair. The cationic emulsifier provides charge neutralization and adsorption sites, with hydrogenated polyisobutylene and hydrogenated polydecene filling the spaces between them, and can enhance the adhesion and spreading of nonionic emulsifiers on the hair. The lipophilic ends of the cationic emulsifier and the lipophilic ends of the nonionic emulsifier penetrate deep into the mixed phase of hydrogenated polyisobutylene and hydrogenated polydecene, working together to enable the active ingredients to be better adsorbed and adhered to the hair and scalp, effectively improving the anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effects.
[0050] As an embodiment of this application, the mass ratio of the arborvitae leaf extract to the anti-hair loss composition is 1:(1.5-3). When the mass ratio of the arborvitae leaf extract to the anti-hair loss composition is within this range, the anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effect can be further improved.
[0051] As an embodiment of this application, the cationic emulsifier includes at least one of palmitamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride, hymediamine chloride, alkyltrimethylammonium chloride, and undecenoamitamidopropyltrimethylammonium methyl sulfate.
[0052] In some embodiments, the nonionic emulsifier includes at least one of PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, di(PPG-2 myristyl alcohol polyether-10) adipate, di(PPG-3 myristyl ether) adipate, polyglycerol-4 lauryl ester, PEG-6 caprylic / capric glycerides, and lauryl alcohol polyether-4.
[0053] In some embodiments, the nonionic emulsifier comprises PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate and di(PPG-2 myristyl alcohol polyether-10) adipate in a mass ratio of (1 to 1.5):1.
[0054] In some embodiments, the Coix seed extract is obtained by supercritical extraction of Coix seed powder, wherein the entrainer for supercritical extraction is an ethanol solution and the extractant for supercritical extraction is CO2.
[0055] This application obtains a Coix seed extract with excellent anti-hair loss and anti-dandruff effects by supercritical extraction of Coix seeds. The Coix seed extract can effectively regulate the scalp microecology, inhibit the growth of pathogens, promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, effectively soothe scalp inflammation, stimulate the proliferation of keratinocytes, accelerate the repair of damaged barriers, reduce transepidermal water loss, and provide a stable and healthy growth environment for hair follicles.
[0056] In some embodiments, the supercritical extraction uses a 60-75 wt% ethanol solution as an entrainer and CO2 as the extractant, with a CO2 flow rate of 80-120 mL / min.
[0057] In some embodiments, the extraction temperature is 35-40°C, the extraction pressure is 28-30 MPa, and the extraction time is 60-180 min. This application uses low-temperature and high-pressure extraction parameters, which can help avoid the damage of heat-sensitive components to high temperatures, while promoting the complete preservation of active substances such as linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and coixol in Coix seed, thereby further improving the anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effect.
[0058] One embodiment of this application provides the application of the aforementioned anti-hair loss microemulsion in the preparation of cosmetics.
[0059] In some embodiments, the anti-hair loss microemulsion has a mass percentage content of 0.01 to 10% in the cosmetic.

[0164] Performance testing
[0165] I. To investigate the anti-hair loss composition and Platycladus orientalis leaf extract on the anti-hair loss microemulsion, the following tests were conducted on Examples 1-10, Examples 24-26, and Comparative Examples 1-14:
[0166] 1. The anti-hair loss microemulsion was subjected to an inhibition test against Malassezia furfur (ATCC 44344) according to the "QBT 2738-2012(7.3) - Evaluation Method for Antibacterial and Bacteriostatic Effects of Daily Chemical Products".
[0167] 2. Anti-hair loss efficacy test
[0168] The CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate the promoting effect of the samples on the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells. The specific steps are as follows: human dermal papilla cells were divided into groups of 1×10⁻⁶ cells. 6 Human dermal papilla cells were seeded at a density of 10 cells / well in 96-well plates (referred to as the experimental group) and incubated overnight in a (37°C, CO2) incubator. When the cell seeding rate reached 50%, DMEM high-glucose medium containing 100 μL of anti-shedding microemulsion was added to the 96-well plates. DMEM high-glucose medium without anti-shedding microemulsion was used as the control group. Each group had at least 3 replicates. The cells were incubated at 37°C for 48 h. The relative cell viability (%) of human dermal papilla cells was detected by the CCK-8 assay.
[0169] Relative cell activity (%) = 100% * (OD value of experimental group - OD value of control group) / OD value of control group.
[0170] Table 4
[0171]
[0172]
[0173] II. To further investigate the anti-hair loss effect of the anti-hair loss composition and Platycladus orientalis leaf extract on the anti-hair loss microemulsion, and to investigate the effects of cationic emulsifiers, nonionic emulsifiers, and synergists on the anti-hair loss effect of the composition, the following experiments were conducted:
[0174] 1. Anti-hair loss volunteer test
[0175] 1.1 Preparation of the test shampoo: The following components were weighed according to the formula (the amount of anti-hair loss microemulsion in each example and comparative example was 1%): sodium lauryl ether sulfate 16%, cocamidopropyl betaine 8%, cocamidomethyl MEA 2%, ethylene glycol distearate 1%, phenoxyethanol 0.6%, hydrogenated castor oil 0.4%, citric acid 0.4%, guar hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride 0.3%, anti-hair loss microemulsion 1%, and water as the balance.
[0176] Preparation of the test shampoo: Guar gum hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride was added to water and dispersed evenly. Citric acid was then added and stirred evenly. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidomethyl MEA, ethylene glycol distearate, and hydrogenated castor oil were added in sequence. The mixture was heated to 90 degrees Celsius and stirred evenly. The temperature was then lowered to 45 degrees Celsius, and anti-hair loss microemulsion was added and stirred evenly to obtain the test shampoo.
[0177] Among them, the test shampoo prepared using the anti-hair loss microemulsion of Example 1 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0178] 1.2 Volunteer selection: 205 volunteers with hair loss were selected and randomly divided into 41 groups of 5 people each. The volunteers in each group used the test shampoo of the example and the comparative example.
[0179] 1.3 The inclusion criteria for volunteers were: female aged 20-30 years; no use of hormone drugs or immunosuppressants in the past month; no participation in other clinical trials at the test site in the present or in the past 30 days; able to cooperate well with the trial; able to read and understand all the contents of the informed consent form and voluntarily sign the informed consent form; and agree not to use any cosmetics, drugs, or health products that may affect the results during the trial.
[0180] Criteria for termination and withdrawal: failure to use the test sample as required or failure to keep follow-up records during the trial; serious illness or serious adverse reaction during the use of the sample.
[0181] 1.4 Test method: Volunteers washed their hair once a day and massaged it for 5 minutes each time. After two months of continuous use, the number of hairs lost was recorded. The effect of the volunteers' use was observed and statistically analyzed, and the rate of decrease in the number of hairs lost was recorded.
[0182] The rate of decrease in the number of hair roots is calculated as follows: 100% * (number of hairs lost on day 0 - number of hairs lost in 2 months) / number of hairs lost on day 0, where the number of hairs lost in 2 months represents the number of hairs lost on the day the 2-month test was completed.
[0183] One of the volunteers in Example 1 had their hair before and after the treatment, as shown in the following image. Figures 3-4 As shown.
[0184] Table 5
[0185]
[0186]
[0187] As can be seen from Tables 4 and 5, the anti-hair loss microemulsion described in this application has excellent anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effects.
[0188] Comparing Example 2 with Comparative Examples 1-6 and 9-12, it can be seen that the processed Polygonum multiflorum extract, Coix seed extract and Astragalus membranaceus extract described in this application have a significant synergistic effect in preventing and removing dandruff. Under the synergistic effect of the three, the anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effect of the composition is significantly improved. The absence of one of them or the replacement of the components in the composition with other ingredients will result in a significant decrease in the anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effect.
[0189] Comparing Example 2 with Comparative Examples 7-8, it can be seen that the reason why the anti-hair loss microemulsion described in this application has excellent anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effects is that it contains both Platycladus orientalis leaf extract and anti-hair loss composition. The addition of both is a necessary component for this application to achieve anti-hair loss and dandruff removal.
[0190] Comparative Examples 2 and 13-14 show that this application significantly improves the anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effect by controlling the mass ratio of Polygonum multiflorum extract, Coix seed extract and Astragalus membranaceus extract to 1:(0.5-7):(0.5-7).
[0191] Comparing Example 2 with Comparative Example 15, it can be seen that the synergist described in this application can significantly improve the anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effect.
[0192] Comparative Examples 1-4 show that by controlling the amount of each raw material to be: 1-2 parts cationic emulsifier, 2-3 parts arborvitae leaf extract, 2-3 parts anti-hair loss composition, 8-20 parts nonionic emulsifier, 25-35 parts synergist and 48-51 parts water, the anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effect of the composition can be further improved.
[0193] Comparing Examples 2 and 5 with Examples 6 and 7, it can be seen that this application further improves the anti-dandruff and dandruff-removing effect by controlling the mass ratio of Polygonum multiflorum extract, Coix seed extract and Astragalus membranaceus extract to 1:(2-3):(1-2).
[0194] Comparing Examples 2 and 8 with Examples 9 and 10, it can be seen that this application further improves the anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effect by controlling the mass ratio of Platycladus orientalis leaf extract and anti-hair loss composition to 1:(1.5-3).
[0195] Comparing Examples 2 and 24 with Examples 25 and 26, it can be seen that the Coix seed extract prepared by the preparation method of this application can further improve the anti-hair loss and dandruff removal effect.
[0196] Comparing Examples 2 and 11 with Examples 12 to 17, it can be seen that by using a synergist of hydrogenated polyisobutylene and hydrogenated polydecene in a mass ratio of 1:(1 to 1.5), the anti-hair loss effect can be further improved.
[0197] Comparing Example 2 with Examples 18-19, it can be seen that by using palmitamide propyltrimethylammonium chloride as a cationic emulsifier, the anti-hair loss effect can be further improved.
[0198] Comparing Examples 2 and 20 with Examples 21 to 23, it can be seen that by using PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate and di(PPG-2 myristyl alcohol polyether-10) adipate in a mass ratio of (1 to 1.5):1, the anti-hair loss effect can be further improved.
[0199] III. Stability Testing
[0200] 1. Preparation of the test shampoo: Weigh the following components according to the formula (the amount of anti-hair loss microemulsion in each example and comparative example is 1%): sodium lauryl ether sulfate 16%, cocamidopropyl betaine 8%, cocamidomethyl MEA 2%, ethylene glycol distearate 1%, phenoxyethanol 0.6%, hydrogenated castor oil 0.4%, citric acid 0.4%, guar hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride 0.3%, anti-hair loss microemulsion 1%, and water as the balance.
[0201] Preparation of the test shampoo: Guar gum hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride was added to water and dispersed evenly. Citric acid was then added and stirred evenly. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidomethyl MEA, ethylene glycol distearate, and hydrogenated castor oil were added in sequence. The mixture was heated to 90 degrees Celsius and stirred evenly. The temperature was then lowered to 45 degrees Celsius, and anti-hair loss microemulsion was added and stirred evenly to obtain the test shampoo.
[0202] 2. Weigh out nine 25g samples (3*3) of each test shampoo into transparent PET bottles and place them at constant temperatures of -18℃, 25℃, and 48℃ for 90 days. After returning to room temperature, observe their stability. The rating test results are shown in the table below. The criteria for judging stability are that the sample does not show any layering or oil seepage after returning to room temperature, and the transparency does not change. Otherwise, it is considered abnormal. Record the number of days that stability problems occur. If there is no abnormality after 90 days, record it as no abnormality.
[0203] Table 6
[0204]
[0205]
[0206] As can be seen from Table 1, the anti-hair loss microemulsion described in this application has excellent stability. It does not exhibit stability problems at room temperature; it does not exhibit stability problems for at least 88 days at -18℃; and it does not exhibit stability problems for at least 80 days at 48℃.
[0207] By comparing Examples 2 and 14-17, it can be seen that this application further improves stability by using hydrogenated polyisobutylene and hydrogenated polydecene in a mass ratio of 1:(1-1.5) as synergists. No stability problems occur under cold, hot and room temperature conditions for 90 days.
[0208] By comparing Examples 2, 20-22 with Example 23, it can be seen that the present application uses PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate and di(PPG-2 myristyl alcohol polyether-10) adipate in a mass ratio of (1-1.5):1 as nonionic emulsifiers, which further improves the stability of the anti-hair loss microemulsion.
[0209] By comparing Example 2 and Comparative Example 13, it can be seen that the synergist described in this application can significantly improve the stability of the anti-hair loss microemulsion.
[0210] IV. Patch Test
[0211] 1. Test substance: The anti-hair loss microemulsion prepared in the examples and comparative examples.
[0212] 2. Blank control: distilled water.
[0213] 3. Subjects: Twenty healthy subjects aged 20-30 years with no history of skin diseases or allergies were selected. The anti-hair loss microemulsion was used for a human skin patch test. Each subject's arm was divided into 40 patch test areas (20 areas on the left arm and 20 areas on the right arm, each patch test area was 1cm*1cm, and each patch test area did not affect each other). Patch tests were performed on each subject's patch test areas for the example, comparative example, and blank control.
[0214] 4. Patch Test Method: Using qualified patch test equipment, a closed patch test method was employed. 0.020–0.025 g of the test substance was placed inside the patch tester, and the outside of the device was covered with hypoallergenic adhesive tape and applied to the subject's arm. The test substance was removed after 24 hours, and skin reactions were observed 24 hours later. The results were recorded according to the skin reaction grading standards in the *Cosmetic Safety Technical Specifications* (2015 edition). The scores are shown in Table 7.
[0215] Table 7
[0216]
[0217] After patch testing, no adverse skin reactions were observed in the examples and comparative examples, and all were negative reactions (0), indicating that the anti-hair loss microemulsion of this application has good safety and is mild and non-irritating.
