Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of skincare technology, specifically to a herbal meridian-clearing and blood-activating cream. Background Technology

[0002] The current skincare market faces several core challenges and trends: 1. The contradiction between efficacy and skin feel: Consumers have increasingly higher demands for product efficacy (such as anti-aging and repair), but traditional high-efficacy products, especially creams rich in oils or active ingredients, are often accompanied by a heavy, greasy, and sticky skin feel, affecting the user experience and compliance. The market urgently needs a product that can carry high concentrations of active ingredients while providing a refreshing and pleasant skin feel.

[0003] 2. The Rise of Natural Plant Extracts: As consumers become more safety-conscious and concerned about chemically synthesized ingredients, they are turning to more natural and safer plant-based ingredients. Herbal formulas, in particular, that incorporate traditional Chinese medicine principles are highly favored for their gentleness and multiple conditioning effects. However, the stable integration of various complex plant extracts into the formula while ensuring their activity remains a technical challenge.

[0004] 3. Challenges in Formula Stability and Safety: Integrating aqueous phase, oil phase, various plant extracts, active ingredients, and functional additives into a single system places extremely high demands on formula stability. Products are prone to issues such as layering, precipitation, inactivation of active ingredients, or excessive microbial levels. Simultaneously, to cater to the needs of sensitive skin, the formula must, while ensuring effectiveness, utilize as many mild and low-irritant preservatives and emulsifiers as possible.

[0005] 4. Deep need for skin barrier repair: Modern lifestyles and environmental stress have led to widespread skin barrier damage. Consumers are no longer satisfied with simple surface moisturizing, but are seeking products that can fundamentally nourish and strengthen the skin barrier and improve problems such as dryness and roughness. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a herbal meridian-clearing cream, which achieves a synergistic unity of highly effective repair and refreshing skin feel by scientifically combining traditional Chinese medicine compound with modern active ingredients.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a herbal menstrual regulating cream, which is composed of the following components in the indicated weight ratios: 60-70% aqueous phase, 20-30% oil phase, 5-10% functional active ingredients, 5-8% emulsification and stabilization system, 2-3% preservative and conditioning components, and 0.03-0.2% appearance regulator.

[0008] Preferably, the aqueous phase components specifically include: 50% deionized water, 5% glycerin (humectant), and 7% butylene glycol (penetration enhancer).

[0009] Preferably, the oil phase components specifically include: 5% cetearyl alcohol (oil phase thickener), 5% caprylic / capric triglyceride (lightweight moisturizing oil), 5% polydimethylsiloxane / PEG-14 polydimethylsiloxane (smoothing silicone oil), 2% cetearyl glucoside (nonionic emulsifier), and 0.5% lauryl ether-7 (emulsifying and solubilizing).

[0010] Preferably, the functional active ingredients include: 0.5% cooling agent, 1% plant essential oil and extract, 1% ginger extract, 1% acetyl glucosamine, 1% chondroitin sulfate sodium, 1% traditional Chinese medicine compound, 1% plant polysaccharide components, and 1% sea buckthorn fruit oil.

[0011] Preferably, the cooling agent is one or more of borneol, menthol, and camphor; the plant essential oil and extract is one or more of mugwort oil, ginger root oil, thyme flower and leaf extract; and the traditional Chinese medicine compound combination is one or more of angelica, Ganoderma lucidum, Gastrodia elata, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Panax notoginseng, and Saposhnikovia divaricata extract.

[0012] Preferably, the emulsification and stabilization system specifically includes: 0.3% polyacrylate crosspolymer-6 (gel thickener), 0.1% xanthan gum (natural thickener), 0.2% acrylic (ester) / acrylamide copolymer + C13-15 alkyl (composite thickening emulsifier), and 0.05% disodium EDTA (chelating stabilizer).

[0013] Preferably, the preservative and conditioning components specifically include: 0.74% p-hydroxyacetophenone (preservative); and 1.3% 1,2-hexanediol (auxiliary preservative).

[0014] Preferably, the appearance modifier specifically includes: 0.05% titanium dioxide (physical opacifier), 0.03% caramel color / CI19140 (coloring agent), and 0.2% (daily use) fragrance (fragrance agent).

[0015] A method for preparing a herbal menstrual regulating cream includes the following steps: 1. Pretreatment: Powders (xanthan gum, titanium dioxide, etc.) are pre-dispersed with glycerol / butanediol, Chinese herbal extracts are pre-dissolved in butanediol, and borneol is dissolved in ethanol; 2. Oil phase preparation: Add oils, fats, and essential oils to the oil phase pot, heat to 75-80℃ to dissolve and keep warm; 3. Preparation of aqueous phase: Water, polyol, thickener, chelating agent, etc. are added to the aqueous phase pot, and stirred at high speed at 75-80℃ to dissolve and keep warm; 4. Emulsification: Pour the oil phase into the aqueous phase, homogenize for 5-8 minutes, and keep warm for 5 minutes; 5. After cooling: Add emulsifier at 55℃, and preservative, active ingredient, colorant, and fragrance at 45℃, and stir well; 6. Adjust pH → Defoaming → Filtration → Inspection → Filling.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. This formula innovatively combines traditional herbal extracts with modern active ingredients. The herbal compound (such as angelica and chuanxiong) and plant essential oils (such as ginger root oil) provide warming, invigorating, and anti-inflammatory effects; cooling agents (borneol and menthol) offer immediate soothing; while modern ingredients such as acetyl glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate focus on moisturizing and promoting healthy stratum corneum. This multi-pathway, multi-target synergistic effect addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously, including soothing, nourishing, and repairing, with results far exceeding those of single ingredients.

[0017] 2. Through precise oil-phase formulation and advanced emulsification technology, this product overcomes the heaviness of traditional creams. Caprylic / capric triglycerides, as a refreshing moisturizing oil, provide hydration without the greasy feeling; dimethicone gives the product a silky texture and spreadability; and a nonionic emulsifier system, including cetearyl glucoside, ensures the cream's fine and stable consistency. Ultimately, a perfect balance between high nourishment and a refreshing feel is achieved, enhancing the user experience.

[0018] 3. A complex emulsification and stabilization system (polyacrylate crosspolymer-6, xanthan gum, acrylate copolymer, etc.) ensures the physical and chemical stability of the complex formula throughout its shelf life, effectively preventing stratification and spoilage. The preservative system uses a mild and highly effective combination of p-hydroxyacetophenone and 1,2-hexanediol, avoiding the irritation that traditional preservatives may cause, making the product more suitable for a wide range of people, including those with sensitive skin.

[0019] 4. The core ingredient, sea buckthorn fruit oil, is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, which can deeply nourish the skin, replenish intercellular lipids, effectively strengthen the skin barrier function, and fundamentally improve dryness and roughness. Combined with other oil phases and moisturizing ingredients, it forms a complete closed loop of "hydration-moisturization-repair," achieving long-lasting hydration and a healthy glow.
