Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cosmetic technology, and in particular relates to a composition for preventing or eliminating stretch marks, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Stretch marks are caused by hormonal changes and rapid abdominal expansion during pregnancy, which lead to excessive stretching and damage to the collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis of the skin. As a result, they form purplish-red or silvery-white atrophic lines on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and other areas. Once formed, they are difficult to disappear on their own and seriously affect the appearance of the skin and the user's physical and mental health.
[0003] Currently, most products on the market that prevent and repair stretch marks are based on single moisturizing and skin-nourishing ingredients, which can only relieve dry skin and cannot target and repair the damaged dermal fiber network. Some products have added functional ingredients but have problems such as poor transdermal absorption, unstable activity, and weak anti-inflammatory and repair effects, making it difficult to promote collagen and elastin regeneration and inhibit the degradation of fibers by matrix metalloproteinases from the root. Some products also contain irritating ingredients and are not suitable for sensitive skin during pregnancy and postpartum, posing a safety risk.
[0004] Therefore, developing a cosmetic product that can target and repair skin fibers, efficiently promote collagen synthesis, is gentle and safe, and has the effect of preventing and eliminating stretch marks has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0092] 2. Sample preparation and drug concentration All samples were diluted with DMEM culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum to a non-cytotoxic concentration of 0.1 mg / mL. This concentration was verified in preliminary experiments to have a cell viability of ≥90%, which is the optimal dosage concentration. Dosage: 100 μL per well of cells.
[0093] 3. Experimental Grouping (1) Blank control group: Normal cell culture, only an equal volume of DMEM culture medium was added, without any sample; (2) Complete formulation group: Add 0.1 mg / mL of the complete composition solution of Example 1 of the present invention; (3) Discarded polypeptide group: It does not contain frog skin elastic polypeptide and soybean oligopeptide. The remaining components are consistent with the complete formula and are prepared into a 0.1 mg / mL solution. (4) Extracts omitted: The extracts do not include Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide extract, sea buckthorn fruit oil extract, or calendula total flavonoid extract. The remaining components are the same as the complete formula and are prepared into a 0.1 mg / mL solution. (5) Oil-free group: without marula oil and argan oil, the remaining components are the same as the complete formula, and are prepared into a 0.1 mg / mL solution.

After adhesion, the corresponding sample solutions were added to each well according to the above groups, with a drug dosage of 100 μL / well. An equal volume of culture medium was added to the blank group, and the cells were cultured for another 48 h. The relative cell proliferation rate was detected by CCK-8 assay, and the content of type I collagen, type III collagen, elastin and MMP-9 inhibition rate in the cell supernatant were detected by ELISA. Each group was set up with 3 parallel replicates, and the experiment was repeated 3 times. The average value was used to calculate the results.
[0096] 6. Test Results As shown in Table 1, compared with the blank control group, the relative cell proliferation rate, type I collagen content, type III collagen content, elastin content, and MMP-9 inhibition rate of the complete formula group were all significantly increased. P <0.01); all indicators in the peptide group, extract group, and oil group were significantly higher than those in the blank control group ( P <0.05), but significantly lower than the complete formulation group ( P <0.01). The results show that the polypeptides, plant extracts, and natural oil components in the composition of the present invention work synergistically to significantly promote the proliferation of dermal fibroblasts in human skin, greatly enhance the synthesis capacity of collagen and elastin, and effectively inhibit the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-9, protecting skin fibers from degradation.
