AI Technical Summary
Existing diaper rash creams struggle to balance protective efficacy and breathability, and their complex manufacturing processes fail to meet the high-efficiency protection needs of infant skin.
The system employs a water-in-oil emulsion, utilizing emulsifiers such as polyglycerol-3 diisostearate to disperse the high-water content phase into tiny droplets that are then encapsulated within the oil phase. This, combined with petrolatum and microcrystalline wax, forms a dense hydrophobic film. Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is added to increase the osmotic pressure. Through the synergistic effect of emulsifiers and waxes, a balance between high water content and hydrophobicity is achieved.
This invention achieves a high water content diaper rash cream that maintains excellent hydrophobic properties while improving film-forming properties and stability, reducing irritation to baby's skin, and simplifying the preparation process.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of skin care product technology, specifically to a diaper rash cream with high water content and strong hydrophobicity and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Infants' skin barrier function is not yet fully developed, with a thin stratum corneum and high water content, making them vulnerable to external stimuli. Combined with the chemical irritation from urine and feces and the growth of microorganisms in the enclosed environment of diapers, diaper rash is highly prevalent, manifesting as redness, swelling, and even erosion of the buttocks. As a core protective product, diaper rash cream's core needs focus on the synergistic effect of isolating irritants, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and gentle nourishment. Currently, commercially available diaper rash creams mainly suffer from two problems: one type uses a water-in-oil emulsion system, which, while possessing some moisturizing properties, lacks sufficient protective film density, failing to effectively isolate irritants from urine and feces, and the emulsifiers are prone to triggering allergic reactions; the other type relies on ingredients such as petrolatum and zinc oxide to construct the protective layer, but its excessive occlusiveness leads to poor skin breathability, and the hygroscopic and astringent properties of zinc oxide can easily cause peeling and dryness, making it unsuitable for broken skin. Therefore, developing a diaper rash cream that combines highly effective protection, gentle low irritation, and a simple preparation process has become an urgent need in this field.
[0003] Chinese invention patent application CN108992356A proposes a diaper rash cream formula containing modified graphene oxide. Graphene enhances antibacterial properties, while zinc oxide and shea butter provide isolation and nourishment, thus addressing the weakness of traditional products in terms of sterilization. However, the preparation of the modified graphene requires a low-temperature (-78°C) reaction, resulting in high process complexity, and the retention of petrolatum does not fully improve the insufficient breathability. Therefore, developing a diaper rash cream that combines high-efficiency protection, gentle and low-irritation properties, and a simple preparation process has become an urgent need in this field.

[0026] Optionally, the weight ratio of the occlusive oil to the emollient is (2-4):1.
[0027] The diaper rash cream prepared by this invention has a water content >35wt% and also exhibits excellent hydrophobic properties. This diaper rash cream is based on a water-in-oil system, firstly through the polyglycerol-3 in the oil phase... Water-in-oil emulsifiers such as diisostearate disperse the high-content aqueous phase into tiny, uniform droplets under homogeneous conditions, tightly encapsulating them within the oil phase and preventing direct exposure of the aqueous phase to the system surface. Simultaneously, the composite system of microcrystalline wax, petrolatum, and glyceryl behenate / eicosanoate in the oil phase plays a crucial synergistic role—petrolatum provides basic sealing, microcrystalline wax adjusts the structural hardness of the oil phase to enhance film-forming properties, and glyceryl behenate / eicosanoate further optimizes the surface characteristics of the oil phase and improves the contact angle. Together, these three components form a continuous and dense hydrophobic film on the system surface. Furthermore, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate in the aqueous phase increases the osmotic pressure and freezing point of the aqueous phase, further enhancing the stability of the oil phase encapsulation of the aqueous droplets and preventing system stratification or hydrophobic film damage caused by high water content. Ultimately, through the synergistic effect of "emulsifier-stabilized encapsulation, oil-phase composite system film formation, and aqueous phase component-assisted stabilization," a balance between high water content and excellent hydrophobicity is achieved.
[0028] The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a diaper rash cream with high water content and strong hydrophobicity, comprising the following steps: mixing an oil phase, an aqueous phase and an active ingredient separately; adding the aqueous phase to the oil phase and mixing to obtain a premix; and adding the active ingredient to the premix and mixing.
[0029] Beneficial effects 1. The diaper rash cream prepared by this invention has a water content >35wt% and also has excellent hydrophobic properties.
[0030] 2. The emulsifier of this invention is selected from at least one of polyglycerol-2 dihydroxystearate, polyglycerol-3 diisostearate and PEG-30 dihydroxystearate, which can further improve the high temperature stability of the diaper rash cream.
[0031] 3. The emulsifier of the present invention includes both polyglycerol-3 diisostearate and PEG-30 dihydroxystearate, which can further improve the comfort of use on the basis of stability.
[0032] 4. By limiting the weight ratio of waxes and co-emulsifiers to 3:(2.2-3), the present invention can further improve the low-temperature stability of the diaper rash cream. Attached Figure Description
