Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of specialty soap technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing an antibacterial and moisturizing lanolin soap containing Artemisia annua and Xanthoceras sorbifolium essential oils. Background Technology
[0002] The development trend of personal care products is evolving towards natural, gentle, and multifunctional products. Essential oil soaps, with their combined cleansing, fragrance, and skincare benefits, have become one of the mainstream products in the market. Essential oil soaps are essentially made by saponifying oils (animal, vegetable, or synthetic oils) with a strong alkali (such as sodium hydroxide) to convert them into soap (fatty acid salts) and glycerin. Glycerin is a natural moisturizer that helps retain skin moisture, which is a key reason why essential oil soaps are gentler than ordinary soaps. The soap base melting method for preparing essential oil soaps is widely used in home DIY and small-batch production due to its advantages of not requiring the treatment of a strong alkali, simple operation, and short processing time (1-2 hours). Its core principle is to heat and melt the existing saponification product (sodium fatty acid soap base), then add essential oils, natural extracts, and other functional ingredients to quickly form the finished soap. However, because the soap base loses some glycerin, the finished product's moisturizing effect is slightly inferior to that of the cold process method.
[0003] To enhance the antibacterial and moisturizing properties of essential oil soaps, existing technologies often incorporate natural plant extracts and essential oils. Artemisia annua, a traditional medicinal plant, contains flavonoids and terpenoids with significant antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities, making it an ideal natural antibacterial ingredient. Xanthoceras sorbifolium essential oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid, oleic acid) and vitamin E, offering excellent moisturizing and nourishing effects, and can improve skin dryness after soap-based cleansing. However, Artemisia annua extract has low antibacterial activity, poor stability, and limited functionality, while Xanthoceras sorbifolium essential oil has poor compatibility, low moisturizing efficiency, and insufficient stability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an antibacterial and moisturizing lanolin soap that combines natural plant extracts and essential oils to meet the pressing needs of people with dry and sensitive skin for gentle antibacterial and long-lasting moisturizing products. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings mentioned in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a method for preparing an antibacterial and moisturizing lanolin soap containing Artemisia annua and Xanthoceras sorbifolium essential oil. By combining the slow-release antibacterial properties of Artemisia annua microcapsules with the long-lasting moisturizing effect of Xanthoceras sorbifolium essential oil liposomes, the product simultaneously possesses the comprehensive advantages of strong antibacterial properties, high moisturizing properties, and long-lasting stability, thus solving the problems of insufficient antibacterial properties and poor moisturizing properties of traditional soap base soaps.
[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for preparing an antibacterial and moisturizing lanolin soap containing Artemisia annua and Xanthoceras sorbifolium essential oils includes the following steps: S1. Cut the lanolin-based soap base into small pieces, heat it in a water bath over low heat until completely melted, stir for 20-40 seconds to remove air bubbles, and keep the temperature at 55℃ for later use. S2. Add the Artemisia annua antibacterial microcapsules to deionized water at 45℃ and stir for 40-60 seconds to form a uniform suspension; S3. Once the soap solution temperature drops to 45℃, add the compound moisturizer, hydrolyzed oat protein, honeysuckle extract, natural pigment, and liposomes of *Vernicia fordii* essential oil and suspension of *Artemisia argyi* antibacterial microcapsule suspension in sequence, and stir until completely homogeneous. S4. Pour into the silicone mold and gently vibrate to release air. Cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours. Once the soap has completely solidified, unmold it. After unmolding, wipe the surface with a dry cloth and place it in a cool, ventilated place for 2-3 weeks. Pack it in a sealed bag and moisture-proof paper. Artemisia annua antibacterial microcapsules are formed by encapsulating Artemisia annua enzymatic hydrolysate with β-cyclodextrin and gum arabic, and simultaneously loading zinc gluconate; Xanthoceras sorbifolium essential oil liposomes are prepared by low-temperature catalytic hydrogenation and then using soybean lecithin and cholesterol through thin-film dispersion method, while simultaneously loading ceramide.

(3) Mix the membrane material solution and the core material solution, remove ethanol by rotary evaporation at 50℃ and -0.08MPa, add deionized water, and continue rotary evaporation for 10-20 minutes to fully hydrate the lipid membrane and form a crude liposome suspension. (4) Pour the crude liposome suspension into an ultrasonic cell disruptor and sonicate at 300W for 5-15 minutes to refine the particle size. Then centrifuge the sonicated suspension for 10-20 minutes and collect the supernatant to obtain the liposomes of Sapindus mukorossi essential oil.

[0014] Preferably, the natural pigment is one or a mixture of several of safflower, indigo and turmeric.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention prepares antibacterial and moisturizing lanolin soap using a soap base melting method. Ready-made lanolin soap base is heated and melted, and then ingredients such as Artemisia annua antibacterial microcapsules, Xanthoceras sorbifolium essential oil liposomes, a complex moisturizer, honeysuckle extract, and hydrolyzed oat protein are added. This method is simple and quick. Lanolin in the soap base is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, enhancing the soap's moisturizing properties and reducing irritation; sodium fatty acids provide basic cleansing power and shape retention. The Artemisia annua antibacterial microcapsules contain natural antibacterial active ingredients (including flavonoids and terpenoids) that inhibit Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, while also soothing inflammation and repairing the skin barrier. Xanthoceras sorbifolium essential oil liposomes are rich in unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid and oleic acid) and vitamin E, deeply moisturizing and locking in moisture, improving dryness and tightness after cleansing, and leaving a delicate and firm finish. Fruity aroma; the compound moisturizer contains glycerin for rapid hydration, lanolin and sheep fat base to work synergistically to form a breathable moisturizing film, enhancing the lasting moisturizing effect, sodium hyaluronate to penetrate the stratum corneum and enhance water-locking ability, forming a closed loop of hydration, water-locking and skin-nourishing with the essential oil of Xanthoceras sorbifolium; honeysuckle extract and artemisia annua extract work synergistically to enhance broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and extend the shelf life of the soap; oat extract (hydrolyzed oat protein) soothes and calms, reduces the irritation of the soap base to sensitive skin, improves skin compatibility, and reduces dryness and flaking.
[0016] This invention relates to *Artemisia annua* antibacterial microcapsules, which encapsulate enzymatically hydrolyzed *Artemisia annua* extract with β-cyclodextrin and gum arabic, and simultaneously load zinc gluconate. The combined enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulase and pectinase disrupts the cell wall structure of *Artemisia annua*, increasing the dissolution rate of antibacterial active ingredients (flavonoids, terpenes) and forming smaller molecular structures that are more easily encapsulated, thus solving the problem of insufficient release of active ingredients from traditional extracts. The wall material formed by β-cyclodextrin and gum arabic isolates the antibacterial ingredients from the soap solution, preventing damage to the active ingredients; during use, skin friction pressure triggers the wall material to rupture, allowing for the slow release of antibacterial ingredients and prolonging the antibacterial effect. The zinc ions loaded during microcapsule preparation form a synergistic system of plant active ingredients and metal ions with the *Artemisia annua* extract. Zinc ions disrupt bacterial cell membrane permeability, promoting the entry of flavonoids into the bacteria to inhibit metabolism, thereby adding a targeted antibacterial function against *Propionibacterium acnes*.
[0017] This invention relates to *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* essential oil liposomes prepared via low-temperature catalytic hydrogenation using soybean lecithin and cholesterol through a thin-film dispersion method, while simultaneously loading ceramides. Low-temperature catalytic hydrogenation converts some unsaturated fatty acids in the *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* essential oil into more stable monounsaturated fatty acids, lowers the iodine value, prevents oxidative rancidity, improves the high-temperature stability of the soap, and retains moisturizing activity. The liposomes formed from soybean lecithin and cholesterol have a structure similar to the phospholipid bilayer of the stratum corneum of the skin. Through fusion and penetration, they deliver unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and other nutrients from the essential oil into the stratum corneum of the skin, rather than remaining on the surface, thereby improving the moisturizing rate. The liposome membrane encapsulates the essential oil to form a closed system, preventing evaporation, while the liposomes slowly release essential oil molecules, resulting in a more lasting and gentle fragrance.

[0038] Performance testing The antibacterial and moisturizing lanolin soaps containing Artemisia annua and Xanthoceras sorbifolium essential oils prepared in Example 5, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 were subjected to the following performance tests: (1) Antibacterial performance test: referring to the agar diffusion method in GB15979-2002 "Hygienic Standard for Disposable Sanitary Products", Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC6538), Escherichia coli (ATCC25922), and Propionibacterium acnes (ATCC6919) were selected as test strains. 5.0g of sample was weighed, 45mL of sterile physiological saline was added, and the mixture was shaken for 30min to prepare a 1:10 sample dilution. After sterilization of LB agar medium, the solution was cooled to 45℃ and poured into petri dishes (90mm in diameter), 20mL per dish. After solidification, 0.1mL of bacterial solution (concentration 10) was taken for later use. 6 The sample dilution (CFU / mL) was evenly spread on the surface of the culture medium, and a sterile Oxford cup (6 mm inner diameter) was placed in it. 0.2 mL of sample dilution was injected and the sample was incubated at 37°C for 24 h. The diameter of the inhibition zone (mm) was measured with calipers. Each sample was tested in parallel 3 times and the average value was taken. The inhibition rate = (inhibition zone diameter - Oxford cup inner diameter) / Oxford cup inner diameter × 100%. The samples from Example 5, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 were sealed and placed in an environment of 25°C and 60% humidity for 6 months. During this period, samples were taken once a month and the inhibition rate was tested according to the above steps. (2) Moisturizing performance test: referring to QB / T4256-2011 "Guidelines for Evaluation of Moisturizing Efficacy of Cosmetics", 10 healthy subjects (20-35 years old, 5 males and 5 females, skin types covering dry and normal) were selected. The test environment temperature was 22±1℃ and the humidity was 50±5%. The subjects adapted to the environment for 30 minutes. Three 2cm×2cm areas were marked on the inner side of the forearm (corresponding to 3 groups of samples respectively). The blank area was used as a control. The test area was cleaned with deionized water and dried. The initial skin moisture content (Corneometer CM825) was measured. 0.1g of sample was evenly applied to the test area and massaged until completely dissolved. The skin moisture content was measured at 10min, 30min and 60min after use. Moisturizing rate = (moisture content after use - initial moisture content) / initial moisture content × 100%. The average value of 10 subjects was taken. (3) Aroma retention rate detection: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) combined with sensory evaluation method was used. For GC-MS, after the sample was sealed and placed for 60 days, 5.0 g of sample was weighed, 10 mL of anhydrous ethanol was added, and ultrasonic extraction was performed for 30 min. After filtration, the supernatant was injected. Chromatographic column: HP-5MS (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm), column temperature 40 ℃ (hold for 2 min) → 10 ℃ / min to 250 ℃ (hold for 5 min), carrier gas He, flow rate 1 mL / min; Sensory evaluation was performed by 5 professional evaluators who scored the aroma intensity (1-5 points) of the samples placed for 0 days, 30 days and 60 days. Aroma retention rate = (60-day score / 0-day score) × 100%; (4) Skin irritation test: According to the skin patch test in the 2015 edition of the Cosmetic Safety Technical Specifications, the sample was crushed and mixed with deionized water to make a 50% (w / w) suspension. 20 μL of the suspension was dropped onto the patch applicator (diameter 8 mm) and applied to the inner side of the subject's forearm. After 24 h, the patch applicator was removed and the skin reaction was observed at 24 h and 48 h. The positive rate was calculated according to the standard (0~4 points) and the positive rate was calculated as (number of people with irritation reaction / total number of people) × 100%. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0039] Table 1. Performance Test Results of Antibacterial and Moisturizing Lanolin Soap
[0040] As shown in Table 1, Example 5 exhibits a significantly higher antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli compared to Comparative Example 1, and also demonstrates an antibacterial effect against Propionibacterium acnes, which Comparative Example 1 lacks. Furthermore, the antibacterial effect of Example 5 remained above 95% after a 6-month long-term storage period, while that of Comparative Example 1 decreased to below 55%. This indicates that the antibacterial components (flavonoids and terpenes) of the unmodified Artemisia annua extract, when directly exposed to soap solution, are easily destroyed by the weakly alkaline environment of the soap base and are rapidly lost during use, resulting in a low antibacterial rate and lack of long-lasting effect. In contrast, the modified Artemisia annua antibacterial microcapsules achieve a dual synergistic effect through enzymatic hydrolysis and microcapsule encapsulation, significantly improving antibacterial performance and stability.
[0041] Example 5 showed a 30-minute moisturizing rate that was more than 50% higher than that of Comparative Example 2, and the 60-minute moisturizing rate remained at 39.8%, indicating that the moisturizing durability of the modified *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* essential oil was significantly improved. Simultaneously, the aroma retention rate of Example 5 was more than double that of Comparative Example 2. It is evident that the unmodified *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* essential oil is fat-soluble and has poor compatibility with aqueous soap solutions. During application, it tends to float on the skin surface, making it difficult to penetrate and absorb. Furthermore, its unsaturated fatty acids are prone to oxidation and rancidity, leading to aroma loss and soap softening. In contrast, the modified *Xanthoceras sorbifolium* essential oil liposomes achieve triple optimization through double bond hydrogenation and liposome loading, enhancing moisturizing performance, aroma, and oxidative stability.
