Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cosmetic technology, and specifically discloses a gel film patch containing endogenous crystal patterns and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrogel patches utilize the water-fixing and releasing properties of plant polysaccharides such as carrageenan to provide a cooling, moisturizing, and hydrating effect on the skin. Currently, commercially available hydrogel products primarily use macromolecular polysaccharides such as carrageenan, agar, carob gum, and cellulose, along with a certain amount of polyols and purified water. These are dissolved at high temperatures, cooled and solidified, and then cut into the desired product shape. In terms of appearance, they are mostly transparent, come in various colors, or have regular patterns. Their main function is to release water to provide cooling, hydration, and moisturizing. The appearance of these hydrogel products is relatively uniform; besides the inherent transparency of the hydrogel itself, differences in appearance are achieved by adding pigments, opacifiers (titanium dioxide, kaolin, etc.), physical particles (insoluble particles, plant powders), or through physical embossing techniques. Hydrogel products have a jelly-like consistency, and due to their tendency to naturally release water upon standing, they lack physical adhesion points to the skin, making them prone to slipping and affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned problems of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a gel film patch that forms a three-dimensional pattern through endogenous eutectic. By utilizing the temperature changes in the hydrogel production process, the active material is condensed from the dissolved state and crystallized out, thus solving the problems of monotonous appearance, slippage of the patch, and slow release of the active material.
[0004] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: 1. A gel film patch containing an endogenous crystalline pattern, characterized in that it comprises: a matrix gel layer and an endogenous crystalline structure, wherein the matrix gel layer is composed of the following components in weight percentage: Purified water 60-80% gelling agent 1-3% Polyols 1-10% Active ingredient 5-18% Preservative 0.1-0.5% Fragrance 0.01-0.1%; The endogenous crystalline structure is distributed on the surface and inside of the matrix gel layer, and the endogenous crystalline structure includes: (a) A eutectic system in which at least one of trehalose or mannitol is formed with at least one of glycine or taurine; (b) Crystals protrude 0.1-0.3 mm from the matrix surface, with a density of 5-20 crystals / cm³. 2 ; (c) The crystal morphology is a randomly distributed snowflake-like or dendritic structure.
[0005] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the active ingredient is composed of a first component and a second component, wherein: The first component is trehalose or mannitol, accounting for 40-70% of the total mass of the active ingredients; The second component is glycine or taurine, accounting for 30-60% of the total mass of the active ingredient.
[0006] As a further preferred technical solution of the present invention, the gelling agent is at least one of carrageenan, konjac gum, and carob gum, and the proportion of carrageenan is not less than 50% when the gelling agent is compounded.
[0007] As a further preferred technical solution of the present invention, the polyol is at least one of glycerol, propylene glycol, and hexanediol, and the proportion of glycerol in the polyol is ≥70%.
[0008] As a further preferred technical solution of the present invention, the method for preparing a gel film patch containing endogenous crystalline patterns includes the following steps: S1. Heat purified water to 50-60℃, add the premix of gelling agent and polyol, and stir and disperse at 800-1200 rpm; S2. Heat to 80-85℃ and hold for 10-15 minutes to form a homogeneous adhesive solution; S3. Add the active ingredient, stir for 10-15 minutes until completely dissolved, and keep the temperature at 80-85℃ for 10 minutes. S4. Add flavoring and preservatives, stir well, and then discharge. S5. Pour the adhesive into a flat mold, allow the material to cool naturally to form a thin sheet, and repeat the process in sequence: First stage cooling: Treat the surface with cold air at 20-30℃ in the cooling tunnel for 2-3 minutes, and hold for 2 minutes to allow the surface crystals to precipitate to the required length; The second stage of rapid cooling: the crystals are solidified by maintaining a low temperature drying tunnel at 40℃-45℃ for 5 minutes. S6. Cut and shape and package.
[0009] As a further preferred technical solution of the present invention, the active ingredient is added in steps: first, trehalose or mannitol is added, stirred and dissolved, and then glycine or taurine is added.
[0010] As a further preferred technical solution of the present invention, a rapid cooling stage can be added between the first stage of cooling and the second stage of curing, wherein the rapid cooling stage is a low temperature treatment of 5-10℃ for 30-60s.
[0011] As a further preferred technical solution of the present invention, the temperature difference between the first stage cooling and the second stage rapid cooling is ≥15℃, and the transition time between the two stages is ≤10s.
[0012] As described above, the method for preparing a low-gas-production, easily moldable thermosetting polyimide resin provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention discloses a gel film patch with an endogenous crystalline pattern, utilizing a eutectic system formed by trehalose / mannitol and glycine / taurine under a specific temperature gradient. The sugar alcohols provide the dendritic crystalline framework, while amino acids fill the lattice gaps to enhance structural strength. The protruding crystals form microscopic anchor points, independent of physical embossing or injection molding, resulting in a randomly varied and diverse product appearance. During application, the branched crystals protrude 0.1-0.3 mm from the film surface, forming a physical adhesion with the skin and preventing slippage.
[0013] 2. This invention discloses a gel film patch containing endogenous crystalline patterns and its preparation method. Compared with the prior art, it adds a higher concentration of skin-beneficial active ingredients. By utilizing the temperature variations in the hydrogel production process, the active ingredients are condensed from a dissolved state and crystallized out. Three-stage temperature control achieves directional crystal growth, forming a random snowflake-like pattern effect. The product appearance varies randomly and is rich and diverse. It not only prevents slippage during use but also provides physical massage and physiological improvement for the skin.

[0024] The preparation method of the gel film patch includes the following steps: S1. Heat purified water to 50-60℃, add the premix of gelling agent and polyol, and stir and disperse at 800-1200 rpm; S2. Heat to 80-85℃ and hold for 10-15 minutes to form a homogeneous adhesive solution; S3.

S6. Cut and shape and package.
[0025] In step S3, the active ingredients are added in stages: first, trehalose or mannitol is added, and after dissolving, glycine or taurine is added.
[0026] A rapid cooling stage can be added between the first stage of cooling and the second stage of curing. The rapid cooling stage is a low-temperature treatment at 5-10℃ for 30-60 seconds.
[0027] The temperature difference between the first stage of cooling and the second stage of rapid cooling is ≥15℃, and the transition time between the two stages is ≤10s.

Keep warm at 83℃ for 12 minutes Cool to 76℃, add active ingredients (trehalose first, then glycine), and incubate for 12 minutes. After casting, the first stage involves cooling the surface crystals to the required length by 25°C cold air in a cooling tunnel for 2.5 minutes. Then, the crystals are cooled in a semi-sealed freezing tunnel at 7±0.5°C for 45±3 seconds with a temperature change rate ≥5°C / s. In the third stage, the crystals are dried in a low-temperature drying tunnel at 42°C for 5 minutes to solidify the crystals. The humidity of the tunnel cavity is 10±2%RH.

[0037] Step 5: Gradient crystallization The above-mentioned mixture containing active ingredients is poured into a polypropylene mold, and then treated with cold air at 25°C in a cooling tunnel for 150 seconds to allow surface crystals to precipitate to the required length. After being dried in a low-temperature drying tunnel for 5 minutes with hot air at 42°C, the crystals are solidified. The humidity of the tunnel cavity is 10±2%RH.

Crystal structure characterization: Laser confocal microscopy was used to measure crystal height (0.12-0.18 mm). Image analysis software calculates coverage (28±3%), see attached figure. Figure 1 It shows a random dendritic crystal distribution.
[0040] 2. Anti-slip test: 45° Inclined Surface Application Experiment: Control Group (with attached) Figure 2 (Ordinary hydrogels without crystals) slide down within 10 seconds; the product of this invention remains displacement for 30 minutes. Friction coefficient test: The crystals increased the static friction coefficient between the film patch and skin from 0.35 to 0.52. Conclusion: Dendritic crystals form a physical anchoring structure, which significantly improves adhesion.
[0041] Example 4 Dual-effect skin improvement verification Formula and process: Same as Example 2 Test method: 30 subjects were selected for each test, and the patch was applied for 15 minutes daily for 7 days to test its efficacy on human bodies. The crystal massage technique of this invention promotes microcirculation. Thermal imaging showed that the skin temperature increased by 2.3°C after application. In addition, glycine / trehalose continued to penetrate through the crystallization-dissolution process, resulting in significant physiological improvement of the skin of the test subjects.
