Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of personal care product technology, specifically relating to a melanin-promoting composition, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Melanin is the core determinant of skin and hair color. Synthesized by melanocytes, its synthesis primarily relies on the catalytic action of tyrosinase, while being regulated by multiple factors including melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) and the cellular metabolic environment. Melanin not only determines the natural attributes of skin and hair color, but also absorbs ultraviolet radiation, reducing UV damage to skin cell DNA and providing natural photoprotection. It can also improve issues such as vitiligo, gray hair, and pale skin prone to sunburn, meeting consumers' personalized skin and hair care needs.
[0003] Currently, most pigmentation-related products on the market focus on whitening and fading dark spots, while products that promote melanin production are relatively scarce. Furthermore, existing melanin-promoting products often suffer from technical shortcomings such as single-ingredient formulations, limited mechanisms of action, limited melanin-promoting effects, strong irritation, and poor biocompatibility. Among existing technologies, acetyl hexapeptide-1, as a biomimetic peptide, can mimic the function of MSH, binding to the MC1R receptor on the surface of melanocytes to activate tyrosinase activity and promote melanin synthesis. It is gentle and non-irritating, but its melanin-promoting efficiency still has room for improvement when used alone, and its skin penetration is limited. Poria cocos, a traditional Chinese medicine, contains triterpenoids in its extracts that can regulate tyrosinase activity and also has moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and skin barrier-repairing effects, exhibiting excellent biocompatibility. However, the melanin-promoting effect of Poria cocos extract alone is weak and its onset of action is slow. Sophorolipids, as a natural biosurfactant, can promote activity... The ingredients are absorbed through the skin, improving the stability of the composition. They also have the advantages of low toxicity and biodegradability, but do not have a direct melanin-promoting function. 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), as a naturally occurring small molecule ketone compound, not only has good skin compatibility, but can also undergo Maillard reactions with amino acids in the stratum corneum of the skin to form melanin-like substances, achieving an immediate melanin-promoting effect. At the same time, it can help regulate melanocyte metabolism and provide a good cellular environment for endogenous melanin synthesis. However, in the current technology, it has not been synergistically combined with acetyl hexapeptide-1, Poria cocos extract, and sophorolipid for the research and development of melanin-promoting products.
[0004] Therefore, developing a melanin-promoting composition that has significant synergistic effects, is gentle, safe, and long-lasting, and also has multiple skin care benefits has become a technical challenge that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0068] The products prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were subjected to performance tests.
[0069] 1. Skin irritation test
[0070] Test Methods: A 3D skin model was used, and the impact of the test samples on the tissue activity of the 3D skin model was evaluated according to the OECD TG 439 method. Result Interpretation: Tissue activity less than or equal to 50% indicated skin irritation; tissue activity greater than 50% indicated no skin irritation. Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0071] Table 1. Skin irritation test results of the products prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7.
[0072]
[0073] As can be seen from Table 1, the activity of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-7 in the 3D skin model tissue was all above 80%, and they were non-irritating to the skin. The activity of Example 3 in the 3D skin model tissue was 57.41%, which was lower than that of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-7.
[0074] 2. Coloring effect test
[0075] Skin pigmentation is characterized by ITA°. The smaller the ITA°, the darker the skin tone. ITA° (Individual Typology Angle) is an objective indicator of skin color depth. It is a parameter that characterizes human skin color by calculating specific light parameters reflected by the skin and quantifying skin color in terms of angle values (-90° to +90°). The larger the value (closer to +90°), the lighter the skin tone, and the smaller the value (closer to -90°), the darker the skin tone.
[0076] Test Method: Thirty normal subjects were selected for a forearm staining experiment using a C-CUBE instrument. Test Procedure: The arms were cleaned and rested for 20 minutes in a constant temperature (20℃-25℃) and constant humidity (40%-60%) environment; three test sites were marked on the inner forearm; data were collected at 0 h; the corresponding sample (0.3g±0.01g) was applied to each site and gently pressed until absorbed; data were collected at 3h, 7h, 24h, 31h, 48h, 72h, 96h, and 175h. Experimental results are shown in Table 2 and... Figure 1-2 As shown.
[0077] Table 2. Test results of coloring effect of products prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7
[0078]
[0079] From Table 2 and Figure 1-2It can be seen that, compared with other examples, the ITA° measured at the same time was smaller and the skin color was darker, indicating that the composition has the best coloring effect on the skin.
[0080] 3. Cytotoxicity test
[0081] Assay method: Cell viability was detected by MTT assay. The effect of different samples on the survival rate of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (NIH / 3T3) was tested at a concentration of 0.1 mg / mL for 48 hours.
[0082] Test Procedure: Collect NIH / 3T3 cells in the logarithmic growth phase. Add 50 μL of cell suspension to each well of a 96-well plate, with a cell count of 5000 cells / well (margin wells are filled with sterile PBS). Incubate overnight. After incubation, add 50 μL of the test sample to each well and incubate for 48 hours. Then add 20 μL of MTT solution (5 mg / mL) to each well and continue incubation for 3 hours. After incubation, carefully aspirate the culture medium from the wells. Add 150 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide to each well and shake on a shaker at low speed for 10 minutes to fully dissolve any crystals. Measure the absorbance of each well at 490 nm using an ELISA reader to indirectly reflect the number of viable cells. Result Calculation:
[0083] Cell viability % = [OD(sample) - OD(blank)] / [OD(solvent control) - OD(blank)] × 100%
[0084] The test results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, all test samples were not toxic to cells, and the cell survival rate was above 90%.
[0085] 4. Stability Test
[0086] The test method involved dispensing the compositions obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7 into test bottles and observing them under the following conditions for 90 days. The specific performance and test conditions are shown in Table 3.
[0087] Table 3. Stability test results of the products prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7
[0088]
[0089] From Table 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the compositions of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-7 are stable and without abnormalities under room temperature and accelerated testing conditions. The color of Example 3 is slightly darker under long-term light exposure, but there are no abnormalities under other conditions.
[0090] 5. Moisturizing performance test
[0091] Test Method: The moisture content of the stratum corneum of human skin was determined according to the "Guideline for Evaluation of Moisturizing Efficacy of Cosmetics" QB-T 4256-2011. Thirty normal subjects were selected for the forearm moisturizing test experiment. The testing instrument was a MoistureMeter SC (stratum corneum water content analyzer). Test Procedure: The arm was cleaned and rested for 20 minutes in a constant temperature (20℃-25℃) and constant humidity (40%-60%) environment; two test sites were marked on the inner side of the forearm; data were collected at 0 h; the corresponding sample (0.014 g / cm³) was applied to each site. 2 Press gently until absorbed; data were collected at 0h, 1h, 3h, 5h, and 7h. Results are shown in Table 4. Figure 5 As shown.
[0092] Table 4. Changes in stratum corneum moisture content at different times
[0093]
[0094] From Table 4 and Figure 5 It is known that the melanin-promoting composition of Example 2 of this application has excellent long-lasting moisturizing properties. After application, the moisture content of the stratum corneum of the skin continuously increases over time, gradually increasing from 29.5% at 0h to 34.3% at 1h, 38.1% at 3h, 40.4% at 5h, and reaching 47.1% at 7h. The moisture content increases by 17.6% within 7h, and there is no significant decay throughout the process. This indicates that the moisturizing ingredients in the composition work synergistically with Poria cocos extract and sophorolipids, which can not only quickly replenish moisture but also lock in moisture for a long time by repairing the skin barrier. This can effectively avoid skin dryness during the melanin-promoting and fading process, while providing a stable skin environment for melanin synthesis and uniform coloring, thus taking into account both the melanin-promoting effect and the skin care experience.
[0095] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
