Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of skin care essential oil preparation, and particularly relates to a child skin care essential oil and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The child skin has the following characteristics: 1. The child skin has a high metabolism, and the thickness is only 1 / 10 of that of adult skin. The child skin is relatively tender, sensitive to dry, cold, humid and other environmental factors, and alkaline, acidic and other chemical stimulants, and has a weak resistance. The child skin is very tender, and special care is needed. If the care is improper, a series of problems will be caused, affecting the health of the child. The child skin is prone to evaporation of moisture, and the loss of skin moisture and oil leads to a breach in the natural protective barrier of the skin, causing water and oil deficiency, cracks and loosening of the stratum corneum, and a decrease in the ability to resist external stimuli, causing various skin problems.

[0003] 2. The child skin accounts for a high proportion of body weight, and the skin barrier function is not as perfect as that of adults, so the skin permeability is higher than that of adults, and the skin absorption rate is higher when using external skin care products.

[0004] 3. The child skin melanin body has not yet matured, and the number is also less, so the resistance to ultraviolet rays is low, and it is more prone to sunburn.

[0005] 4. Because the newborn skin secretes more sebum, and the skin resistance to external stimuli is weak, if the cleaning is not enough, it is easy to cause bacterial infection.

[0006] Overall, the child skin has poor resistance to irritation from the external environment, and is susceptible to skin diseases, so the child skin care product has higher safety requirements for the source of raw materials, and should be mild and have no side effects.

[0007] There are also many natural skin care products on the market now, but in addition to natural active ingredients, most of them add surfactants, preservatives, thickeners, moisturizers, fragrances and other chemical synthetic products. These chemical synthetic products have a large irritating effect on the skin, and still pose a threat to the health of the child skin.

[0008] Essential oil is a concentrated substance extracted from plants, which acts on the skin and has the effects of moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, promoting repair, regulating oil, etc., so essential oil has a good application prospect for child skin care. Because the child skin is tender, the use of essential oil also needs to be very cautious. High-purity essential oil has strong irritation, and direct use may also harm the child skin. People usually dilute the use, but there are still problems such as high oiliness, poor use effect, and difficulty in meeting the safety of child skin care (allergic reactions, etc.). Therefore, it is necessary to select suitable essential oil ingredients for child skin care and to optimize the process.

[0009] Patent CN105616210B discloses a children's sunscreen rose skin care product, which includes a dispersion of N-trans-feruloyl norsylephrine and rose essential oil.

[0098] Comparative Example 5 A method for preparing a skin care essential oil involves mixing coconut oil, sweet almond oil, grapefruit essential oil, ginger oil, black pepper essential oil, and grapeseed oil in the specified amounts until homogeneous.

[0099] Security inspection The safety of the skin care essential oils obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 4 and 5 was investigated. Specifically, 50 healthy children (aged 3-5 years, half boys and half girls, with similar lifestyles and physical conditions) were randomly divided into 5 groups of 10 children each. During the experiment, their daily routines and diets remained normal. Every evening after bathing, they applied the skin care essential oil to the same area on the inner forearm (2cm × 2cm), using 0.03mL of the oil. The application method was to apply evenly and massage clockwise for 3 minutes. The condition of the treated area was assessed after 3 days, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0100] Table 1. Safety Assessment

[0101] As shown in Table 1, the skin care essential oils obtained in Examples 1-3 do not cause allergic reactions in children's skin and have good safety.

[0102] Comparative Example 4 omitted tyramine-modified β-cyclodextrin, and Comparative Example 5 directly mixed the individual essential oils without further treatment, resulting in a significant decrease in safety. This indicates that the present invention reduces high-dose contact between essential oil components and the skin through the combined effect of thiol-modified chitosan porous microsphere loading and tyramine-modified β-cyclodextrin coating, thus avoiding irritation to children's skin.

[0103] Skincare efficacy evaluation The skincare effects of the skincare essential oils obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were investigated (Comparative Example 5 had poor safety and was not investigated for skincare effects). The specific method was as follows: Seventy healthy children (aged 3-5 years, half male and half female, with similar lifestyles and physical conditions) were randomly divided into 7 groups of 10 children each. During the experiment, their daily routines and diets were normal. Every night after bathing, they applied the skincare essential oil to the same area on the inner forearm (2cm × 2cm), using 0.03mL of the oil. The application method was to apply the oil evenly and massage clockwise for 3 minutes. The skin moisture content of the skincare area was measured using a moisture meter at 0h, 2h, 6h, and 12h after skincare. The increase in skin moisture content at 2h, 6h, and 12h was calculated, and the average value was calculated. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0104] The formula for calculating the increase in skin moisture content is: W = (M1 - M0) / M0 × 100%, where W is the increase in skin moisture content, M1 is the skin moisture content after 2 hours, 6 hours or 12 hours of skin care, and M0 is the skin moisture content after 0 hours of skin care.

[0105] Table 2. Evaluation of Skin Care Effects

[0106] As shown in Table 2, the skin care essential oils obtained in Examples 1 to 3 can still maintain a certain increase in skin moisture content after 12 hours of skin care, indicating that they can provide long-lasting moisturization and have good skin care effects.

[0107] Comparative Example 1 omitted ginger oil, Comparative Example 2 omitted black pepper essential oil, Comparative Example 3 omitted the preparation of the loading material, and Comparative Example 4 omitted tyramine-modified β-cyclodextrin. The skin care effect of all of them was significantly worse. Although the increase in skin moisture content was large at the beginning of Comparative Examples 3 and 4, the increase in skin moisture content was significantly smaller after 6 hours of skin care. This shows that the essential oil formulation of the present invention, the loading of thiol-modified chitosan porous microspheres, and the coating of tyramine-modified β-cyclodextrin work together to improve the skin care effect and long-lasting skin care.

[0108] The present invention has been illustrated through the above embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, that is, it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above embodiments to be implemented. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvements to the present invention, equivalent substitutions of individual raw materials in the product of the present invention, addition of auxiliary components, selection of specific methods, etc., all fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
