AI Technical Summary
Existing scalp care products rely on chemical antibacterial agents, which can easily disrupt the scalp's microecology with long-term use. Furthermore, traditional Chinese medicine extraction methods suffer from low dissolution rates of effective ingredients and significant loss of activity, making it difficult to effectively address issues such as scalp itching, bacterial imbalance, and oxidative damage.
Polygonum multiflorum extract was prepared by ultrasound-assisted cellulase extraction and then compounded with extracts of Platycladus orientalis leaves, black sesame, Ligustrum lucidum and licorice to prepare an antibacterial, antipruritic and antioxidant traditional Chinese medicine composition, which improved the dissolution rate of stilbene glycosides and achieved multiple synergistic effects.
The composition improves the dissolution rate of stilbene glycosides, exhibits significant antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus and Malassezia, and has a free radical scavenging rate of up to 75%. It is suitable for shampoo and conditioner products and is gentle and non-irritating.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine composition technology, specifically to a traditional Chinese medicine composition with processed Polygonum multiflorum extract as the main active ingredient, which is antibacterial, antipruritic, and antioxidant, as well as its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Scalp itching, bacterial imbalance, and oxidative damage are common scalp problems, often caused by the proliferation of microorganisms such as Malassezia and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as the accumulation of free radicals. These issues can easily lead to dandruff, scalp sensitivity, and dry hair. Current scalp care products mostly rely on chemical antibacterial agents, which can disrupt the scalp's microecology with long-term use, and have drawbacks such as high irritation and limited efficacy.
[0003] Processed Polygonum multiflorum is a traditional Chinese medicine for hair care, containing active ingredients such as stilbene glycosides, which have antioxidant and scalp-nourishing effects. Arborvitae leaf, black sesame, and Ligustrum lucidum are also classic hair-care herbs, possessing antibacterial, antipruritic, and hair-darkening properties. However, traditional Chinese medicine extraction methods suffer from low dissolution rates of active ingredients and significant loss of activity, making it difficult to fully realize the combined effects of these herbs.
[0004] Based on this, we developed a traditional Chinese medicine composition that is highly efficient in extraction, stable in composition, and has antibacterial, antipruritic, and antioxidant effects, which is suitable for the needs of scalp care products and has important application value. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine composition with processed Polygonum multiflorum extract as the main active ingredient, which is antibacterial, antipruritic, and antioxidant. This composition solves the problems of low extraction efficiency, single efficacy, and poor scalp applicability of traditional extraction methods. The invention also provides a preparation method and daily chemical applications for this composition.
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A traditional Chinese medicine composition with processed Polygonum multiflorum extract as the main active ingredient, comprising the following components by weight: 15-35 parts processed Polygonum multiflorum extract, 5-20 parts Platycladus orientalis leaf extract, 3-12 parts black sesame extract, and 3-12 parts Ligustrum lucidum extract.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the antibacterial, antipruritic, and antioxidant traditional Chinese medicine composition with processed Polygonum multiflorum extract as the main active ingredient, the processed Polygonum multiflorum extract is prepared by ultrasound-assisted cellulase extraction. The extraction conditions are: material-liquid ratio 1:8-1:15, cellulase dosage 0.3-2.0%, ultrasound power 150-450W, enzymatic hydrolysis temperature 40-60℃, enzymatic hydrolysis time 1-4 hours, and the stilbene glycoside content in the extract is ≥2.0%.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the antibacterial, antipruritic, and antioxidant traditional Chinese medicine composition with processed Polygonum multiflorum extract as the main active ingredient, as described in this invention, it further includes 2-8 parts of licorice extract.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the antibacterial, antipruritic, and antioxidant traditional Chinese medicine composition with processed Polygonum multiflorum extract as the main active ingredient, the composition has an inhibition zone diameter of ≥15mm against Staphylococcus aureus and Malassezia, and a DPPH free radical scavenging rate of ≥75%.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the antibacterial, antipruritic, and antioxidant traditional Chinese medicine composition with processed Polygonum multiflorum extract as the main active ingredient, the composition is a traditional Chinese medicine composition for cosmetic use.
[0011] A method for preparing a traditional Chinese medicine composition with processed Polygonum multiflorum extract as the main active ingredient, comprising the following steps: S1: After pulverizing the processed Polygonum multiflorum, add water and control the material-to-liquid ratio to 1:8-1:15. Add 0.3-2.0% (w / w) of cellulase and perform ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis. S2: Filter the enzymatic hydrolysate and concentrate it to a relative density of 1.10-1.30 to obtain processed Polygonum multiflorum extract; S3: Mix the processed Polygonum multiflorum extract with Platycladus orientalis leaf extract, black sesame extract, and Ligustrum lucidum extract in a certain proportion until homogeneous.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are: the use of ultrasound-assisted cellulase extraction significantly improves the dissolution rate of stilbene glycosides in processed Polygonum multiflorum, and the content of active ingredients in the extract is high; This product is formulated with a blend of multiple traditional Chinese medicines, which work synergistically to achieve antibacterial (Staphylococcus aureus, Malassezia), antipruritic, and antioxidant effects. The antibacterial zone diameter is ≥15mm, and the DPPH free radical scavenging rate is ≥75%. The natural Chinese medicine ingredients are gentle and non-irritating, suitable for scalp care scenarios, and can be widely used in shampoos and conditioners. Detailed Implementation
