Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pet product technology, specifically relating to a plant essence spray suitable for pet fur fluffing and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Pet volumizing sprays, as a daily pet grooming product, are designed to improve coat texture, increase volume, and make grooming easier. With the increasing importance of pets in households, the market has higher demands for the safety, effectiveness, and user experience of such products. However, existing commercially available pet hair care products generally suffer from problems such as traditional formulations, limited functionality, insufficient durability, and potential irritation.

[0003] Current mainstream products have significant technical limitations: First, their formulas often rely on chemical components such as silicone oil and synthetic polymers to achieve an immediate smoothing effect. While this can temporarily quell frizz, long-term use can lead to buildup in the fur, causing it to become flat and heavy, contradicting the core desire for fluffiness and potentially burdening the pet's skin. Second, existing plant-based formulas are mostly simple compoundings, lacking synergistic effects between ingredients, making it difficult to achieve multiple care effects such as smoothness, fluffiness, moisturizing, and soothing, resulting in unsatisfactory care outcomes. Third, conventional preparation processes often involve simple mixing or basic emulsification, which do not adequately protect the activity of raw materials, resulting in poor system stability, easy stratification and deterioration, and affecting product shelf life and effectiveness. Fourth, product application guidance is vague, often only referring to "brushing after spraying," failing to consider the critical care window after pet bathing, leading to less effective care.

[0004] Furthermore, existing technologies for volumizing pet hair primarily focus on physical antistatic or film-forming methods, neglecting the fundamental factors of hair follicle and skin health that support long-lasting volume. The processes lack targeted treatment of natural active ingredients, failing to effectively improve their permeability and bioavailability. Packaging and usage methods are also relatively simple, failing to form a systematic care solution. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new pet hair volumizing technology that is natural in ingredients, synergistically efficient, technologically stable, and deeply integrated into specific care scenarios to achieve a lasting, healthy, volumizing effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention discloses a plant essence spray suitable for pet hair volume enhancement and its preparation method.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0007] A method for preparing a plant-based essence spray suitable for pet coat volume enhancement includes the following steps: (1) Aqueous phase preparation: Heat 50-70 parts by weight of deionized water to 70-80℃, add 0.1-0.5 parts by weight of guar gum and 1-3 parts by weight of hydrolyzed oat protein while stirring, continue stirring until completely dissolved to form a transparent colloid, and then cool down to 40-45℃; (2) Preparation of oil phase: Mix 0.5-2 parts by weight of polyglycerol-10 laurate and 3-8 parts by weight of caprylic / capric triglyceride, heat to 60-65℃ and stir until completely clear to obtain an oil phase mixture; (3) Mixing and emulsification: The oil phase mixture obtained in step (2) is slowly added to the aqueous phase obtained in step (1), and emulsified for 5-10 minutes at a speed of 3000-5000 rpm using a high-speed shear emulsifier to obtain a preliminary emulsion; (4) Addition of functional ingredients: Add 2-5 parts by weight of aloe vera extract, 0.1-0.3 parts by weight of dipotassium glycyrrhizate, 1-3 parts by weight of calendula extract, 1-3 parts by weight of green tea extract, 1-2 parts by weight of cactus extract and 0.3-1 parts by weight of yucca extract to the preliminary emulsion in sequence, and stir evenly at a speed of 300-500 rpm; (5) Homogenization and post-processing: Transfer the mixture obtained in step (4) to a high-pressure homogenizer and homogenize it 2-3 times under a pressure of 15-25 MPa. Then cool it down to below 30°C, add 0.5-1 parts by weight of phenoxyethanol and 0.1-0.5 parts by weight of plant fragrance, stir and homogenize, and filter it with a 100-mesh or larger filter to obtain the plant essence spray.

[0008] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, in step (1), the heating temperature is 75°C and the stirring speed is 800-1000 rpm.

[0009] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, in step (4), before adding the functional components, the preliminary emulsion is treated for 10 minutes using an ultrasonic processor at 40 kHz and 200 W.

[0010] The present invention also discloses a plant essence spray suitable for pet hair fluffing and conditioning, which is prepared by any of the above preparation methods.

[0011] The present invention also discloses a method for pet hair fluffing care, which involves using the plant essence spray described in the present invention to evenly spray the semi-dry hair roots after bathing and before blow-drying the pet.

[0012] Furthermore, in the above nursing method, the spraying distance is 10-20 cm, and after spraying, comb the hair with a massage comb.

[0013] The present invention also discloses a pet hair care kit, including the above-mentioned plant essence spray and a massage comb for combing hair; the surface of the comb teeth of the massage comb is provided with a skin-friendly silicone coating.

[0014] Furthermore, the aforementioned pet hair care kit also includes a portable sprayer for holding the plant essence spray.

[0015] The present invention also discloses the application of the above-mentioned plant essence spray in the preparation of care products for maintaining the fluffiness of long-haired pets' fur and preventing the fur from collapsing.

[0016] Furthermore, in the above applications, the long-haired pets include Persian cats, Ragdoll cats, Samoyeds, or Chow Chows.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: I. Synergistic Effect: Utilizing the film-forming properties of hydrolyzed oat protein and the synergistic effects of various plant extracts (calendula, green tea, cactus, yucca, etc.) in moisturizing, soothing, anti-oxidizing, and follicle-cleansing, this product fundamentally improves the hair environment, achieving lasting volume rather than a fleeting, artificial smoothness. II. Optimized Process: Targeting the characteristics of natural active ingredients, a combination of phase-separated emulsification and high-pressure homogenization processes, along with ultrasonic treatment, significantly enhances product stability, uniformity, and the bioavailability of active ingredients. III. Innovative Application: The optimal application scenario is clearly defined as "applying to the roots after a semi-dry shower," maximizing product efficacy. Combined with a massage comb, it forms a systematic care solution, providing an excellent user experience. IV. Safe and Gentle: The entire formula adheres to the concept of plant extracts, avoiding silicone oil and synthetic polymers. Tested to be non-irritating to the skin, it is particularly suitable for long-term use on pets. Detailed Implementation

[0025] Comparative Example 1 A pet hair care spray, differing from Example 2 in that it does not contain cactus extract and yucca extract in its ingredients. Its ingredients, by weight, include: 60 parts deionized water, 0.3 parts guar gum, 2 parts hydrolyzed oat protein, 1.2 parts polyglycerol-10 laurate, 5.5 parts caprylic / capric triglyceride, 3.5 parts aloe vera extract, 0.2 parts dipotassium glycyrrhizate, 2 parts calendula extract, 2 parts green tea extract, 0.8 parts phenoxyethanol, and 0.3 parts plant fragrance.

[0026] The preparation method is the same as in Example 2.

[0027] Comparative Example 2 A pet hair care spray, differing from Example 2 in that it does not contain calendula extract and green tea extract. Its ingredients, by weight, include: 60 parts deionized water, 0.3 parts guar gum, 2 parts hydrolyzed oat protein, 1.2 parts polyglycerol-10 laurate, 5.5 parts caprylic / capric triglyceride, 3.5 parts aloe vera extract, 0.2 parts dipotassium glycyrrhizate, 1.5 parts cactus extract, 0.6 parts yucca extract, 0.8 parts phenoxyethanol, and 0.3 parts plant fragrance.

[0028] The preparation method is the same as in Example 2.

[0029] Comparative Example 3 A pet hair care spray uses the same raw materials as in Example 2, but its preparation method is different, specifically as follows: All ingredients, including deionized water, guar gum, hydrolyzed oat protein, polyglycerol-10 laurate, caprylic / capric triglycerides, aloe vera extract, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, calendula extract, green tea extract, cactus extract, yucca extract, phenoxyethanol, and plant fragrance, are added to a mixing tank at once and stirred at 500 rpm for 30 minutes until homogeneous. This process does not involve stepwise aqueous / oil phase preparation, high-speed shear emulsification, ultrasonic treatment, or high-pressure homogenization.

[0030] Comparative Example 4 A pet hair care spray, differing from Example 2 in that it uses glycerin, a common cosmetic moisturizer, instead of hydrolyzed oat protein. Its ingredients, by weight, include: 60 parts deionized water, 0.3 parts guar gum, 2 parts glycerin, 1.2 parts polyglycerol-10 laurate, 5.5 parts caprylic / capric triglyceride, 3.5 parts aloe vera extract, 0.2 parts dipotassium glycyrrhizate, 2 parts calendula extract, 2 parts green tea extract, 1.5 parts cactus extract, 0.6 parts yucca extract, 0.8 parts phenoxyethanol, and 0.3 parts plant fragrance.

[0031] The preparation method is the same as in Example 2.

[0032] Test Example 1 Hair volume and durability test Objective: To verify the effect and durability of the formula of this invention (especially the synergistic effect of multiple plant extracts) on improving hair volume.

[0033] method: Sample preparation: Example 1, Example 2, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 4 and a commercially available common pet silicone oil care spray (referred to as control A) were taken as test samples.

[0034] Hair sample preparation: Hair from the same area on the back of a healthy long-haired dog (Samoyed) was collected and made into hair bundles with a weight (2.0±0.1g) and length (15cm). The bundles were then equilibrated for 24 hours under constant temperature and humidity (25℃, 50%RH).

[0035] Processing and Measurement: Each hair tuft was suspended on a standard bracket, and 1.0 g of sample was evenly sprayed from a distance of 15 cm using a quantitative spray device. After air drying for 2 hours, the initial volume (V0) of the hair tuft was measured using a digital hair volume analyzer (model: Dia-Stron MTT175). Subsequently, the hair tuft was placed on a vibration platform (frequency 50 Hz) and vibrated continuously for 60 minutes to simulate the daily activity of a pet, and the hair tuft volume (V0) was measured again. 60 ).

[0036] Calculate: Loft retention rate (%) = (V 60 / V0) × 100%.

[0037] Results: See Table 2.

[0038] Conclusion: The volume retention rates of Examples 1 and 2 were significantly higher than those of the comparative examples and commercially available products, with Example 2 (preferred formulation) showing the best effect. The decreased retention rates of Comparative Example 1 (lacking cactus and yucca extracts) and Comparative Example 2 (lacking calendula and green tea extracts) indicate a synergistic effect of various plant extracts in maintaining hair support and preventing collapse. Comparative Example 4 (using glycerin instead of hydrolyzed oat protein) showed the worst effect, demonstrating that the film-forming properties of hydrolyzed oat protein are crucial for long-lasting volume.

[0039] Test Example 2 Product stability test Objective: To verify the optimization effect of the specific preparation process of this invention on the physical stability of the product.

[0040] method: Sample preparation: Samples for Example 1, Example 2, Example 3 and Comparative Example 3 were prepared.

[0041] Test method: a. Centrifugation stability: Place 10 mL of sample in a centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 30 minutes. Observe whether there is stratification, precipitation or floating oil.

[0042] b. Heat and cold resistance test: The samples were placed in an oven at (40±1)℃ and a refrigerator at (-5±1)℃ for 30 days. The condition of the samples was observed on the 10th, 20th and 30th days, and the changes in pH value and viscosity were measured.

[0043] Results: See Table 3.

[0044] Conclusion: Examples 1, 2, and 3, employing the stepwise emulsification, high-speed shearing, and high-pressure homogenization processes of this invention, all exhibit excellent physical stability. In contrast, Comparative Example 3 (simple mixing process) showed instability in both centrifugation and accelerated aging tests, demonstrating that the preparation process of this invention (Innovation Point 2) is crucial for ensuring product shelf life and user experience, and that this process is applicable to different formulations within the scope of the claims.

[0045] Test Example 3 Application scenario optimization testing Objective: To verify the superiority of the application method of "using it while half-dry after bathing" proposed in this invention.

[0046] method: Sample and grouping: Sixteen Ragdoll cats with similar fur conditions were selected and randomly divided into four groups of four.

[0047] Group A (Method Group of the Invention - Implementation 1): After showering, when the hair is semi-dry, spray the product of Example 1 onto the roots of the hair, then comb it with a massage comb, and then blow-dry it with a hair dryer on cool air.

[0048] Group B (Method Group of the Invention - Embodiment 2): The product of Embodiment 2 is used in the same way.

[0049] Group C (Dry Hair Use Group): After the hair is completely dry, spray an equal amount of the product from Example 2 and comb it.

[0050] Group D (blank control group): After showering, the skin was dried directly with a hair dryer without using any skincare products.

[0051] Results Evaluation: Three ungrouped professional pet groomers conducted a blind evaluation (out of 100) of each cat's fur one hour after blow-drying. The evaluation criteria included: volume, smoothness, and shine.

[0052] Results: See Table 4.

[0053] Conclusion: When the product of this invention is used on semi-dry hair (Groups A and B), the effects of increased volume, smoothness, and shine are significantly better than those achieved when used on dry hair (Group C) and the control group (Group D). This demonstrates that the innovative application of "spraying it evenly onto the roots of semi-dry hair after bathing and before blow-drying" maximizes the product's efficacy. Furthermore, Example 2 (preferred formulation) shows slightly better results than Example 1.

[0054] Test Example 4 Long-haired pet-specific effect verification Objective: To verify the care effect of the product of this invention on specific long-haired pet breeds.

[0055] method: Target: Recruit 20 long-haired pet dogs (10 Chow Chows and 10 Samoyeds) whose owners report that their fur is prone to tangling, and randomly divide them into two groups.

[0056] Procedure: During the 4-week testing period, all participating pets were cared for according to the method of the present invention in Test Example 3 after each bath. One group used the product of Example 1, and the other group used the product of Example 2.

[0057] Evaluation indicators: a. Knotting situation: The owner records the frequency of obvious knots in the pet's fur each week (times / week).

[0058] b. Grooming difficulty: The owner rates the difficulty of the grooming process during daily grooming (1-5 points, 1 point is extremely easy to groom, 5 points is extremely difficult to groom).

[0059] Results: See Table 5.

[0060] Conclusion: Long-term use of the product and care method of this invention can significantly reduce the frequency of tangles in the fur of long-haired pets and greatly reduce the difficulty of combing, proving its outstanding practical value in "maintaining the fluffiness of long-haired pet fur and preventing fur from collapsing". Both Example 1 and Example 2 showed good results, with Example 2 showing a slightly better improvement.

[0061] Test Example 5 Mildness and skin irritation assessment Objective: To verify the mildness of the plant extract formula of this invention.

[0062] method: In vitro experiments: using a human skin model (EpiSkin) TM Irritation tests were conducted. Extracts from the products of Examples 1 and 2 were brought into contact with the model, and cell viability was measured and compared with a negative control (physiological saline). Cell viability above 50% was considered non-irritating.

[0063] Patch test: Thirty healthy volunteers were recruited to conduct a closed patch test. 0.02 mL of the samples from Example 1 and Example 2 were applied to the patch applicator and then applied to the flexor surface of the upper arm. The patch was removed after 24 hours, and skin reactions (erythema, edema, etc.) were observed and recorded at 30 minutes and 24 hours after removal.

[0064] result: In vitro tests: The cell viability of the skin models treated with the products of Examples 1 and 2 was 97% and 98%, respectively, both far exceeding the standard of 50%, indicating no potential irritation.

[0065] Patch test: None of the 30 subjects showed a positive skin reaction (erythema or edema) to the samples of Example 1 and Example 2, and all reactions were grade 0 (no reaction).

[0066] Given that human skin models are generally more sensitive than pet skin, this result indirectly proves that this product is highly safe for pet skin.

[0067] Conclusion: The plant essence spray formula of the present invention (including Examples 1 and 2) is mild, non-irritating to the skin, and meets the high safety requirements of pet care products. Different formulations within the system of the present invention can all ensure the mild properties of the product.

[0068] Test Case Summary: The above system tests demonstrate that the product of this invention has the following excellent performance characteristics.

[0069] In the hair fluffiness test, the fluffiness retention rate of the product in Example 2 reached 90.8%, significantly higher than that of products lacking key components (Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 4, retention rates of 80.0%-84.4%) and commercially available products (80.0%). Stability tests confirmed that after centrifugation and 30-day accelerated aging, all examples of the present invention remained stable, while Comparative Example 3 (simplified process) showed stratification. Application method tests showed that using the product of the present invention in a semi-dry state resulted in a significantly higher overall score (90.0 points) than using it on dry hair (82.3 points). A 4-week long-term care test for long-haired pets showed that after use, the frequency of hair tangling decreased by 77.1%, and the difficulty of combing decreased by 59.5%. All examples of the product passed the skin irritation test, with cell viability >97%, and no positive reactions were observed in the patch test, confirming its high safety.

[0070] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of the present invention, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of the present invention specification, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of the present invention patent.
