Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of skin care technology, and in particular to a soothing and firming composition and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With rising living standards and increased health awareness in today's society, women are paying increasing attention to body care and skin condition, making body care an important part of their daily routine. The Chinese women's body care market is growing rapidly, with a significant demand for improvements in skin laxity and lack of elasticity. To achieve firmer skin and improved elasticity, existing skincare methods are becoming increasingly diversified, including fitness exercises, yoga stretching, professional salon treatments, and topical skincare products. Each method has its own applicable scenarios and limitations.

[0003] In existing technologies, exercise-based methods (such as strength training and yoga postures) indirectly improve skin firmness by increasing muscle tension, but require long-term adherence and have limited effectiveness on stubbornly loose areas. While physical therapies commonly used in beauty salons, such as radiofrequency and ultrasound, offer faster results, they are expensive (high cost per treatment), require regular repeat treatments, and may cause adverse reactions such as temporary redness and swelling. Topical chemical skincare products often rely on ingredients like niacinamide and retinol, which can improve skin condition to some extent, but have low transdermal absorption efficiency, and some ingredients are irritating, making them unsuitable for people with sensitive skin.

[0004] Traditional plant oil massage is widely used as a natural skincare method. For example, jojoba oil and sweet almond oil are often used for basic moisturizing. However, the efficacy of a single plant oil is limited to hydration and lacks targeted firming effects. Existing patent literature, such as CN107929101A, discloses a firming massage oil that, while incorporating natural ingredients like ginseng seed oil and rosemary leaf oil, relies excessively on cooling substances (menthol, camphor) to temporarily stimulate skin contraction. This fails to provide long-term collagen synthesis promotion, and the high concentration of irritating ingredients may trigger inflammatory reactions in sensitive skin. Existing products often focus on a single function (such as anti-wrinkle or moisturizing), offering limited effectiveness in improving skin laxity.

[0005] Therefore, there is currently a lack of a skincare solution that combines natural safety with targeted firming effects, which cannot meet women's needs for convenient, gentle, and long-lasting improvement of skin laxity. There is an urgent need to develop a scientifically formulated combination that combines safety, soothing, and firming properties. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a soothing and firming composition that can improve skin roughness, enhance skin elasticity, and reduce skin wrinkles.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a soothing and firming composition comprising the following components: compound plant oil A, compound plant oil B, compound plant oil C, bisabolol, and Ligusticum chuanxiong oil; The compound plant oil A includes Artemisia argyi leaf oil and safflower oil; The safflower oil comprises saffron oil, saffron flower extract, and a complex formed by caprylic / capric triglycerides; The compound plant oil B includes frankincense (BOSWELLIA CARTERII) oil and ginger (ZINGIBER OFFICINALE) root oil; The compound plant oil C includes Ganoderma sinensis extract, Panax ginseng root extract, Paeonia suffruticosa seed oil, and Saussurea involucrata extract.

[0008] This invention utilizes a blend of various plant oils and medicinal oils to create a soothing and firming composition. Artemisia argyi oil, in particular, contains volatile polyphenols and terpenes that act as antioxidants, scavenging free radicals and alleviating dryness, roughness, and fine lines; it can also improve keratosis pilaris and the buildup of dead skin cells. Saffron oil removes free radicals generated by ultraviolet radiation and pollution, reducing collagen loss; it promotes the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin elasticity; it also reduces photoaging, aids in repairing sun damage, and lowers the probability of developing age spots. Artemisia argyi oil combined with saffron oil works synergistically to improve varicose veins, improve blood circulation in peripheral neuritis, and enhance the skin's rosy and delicate texture; frankincense oil combined with ginger root oil has anti-aging properties, giving new life to aging skin, promoting blood circulation, reducing fine lines, and effectively smoothing wrinkles; it also improves firmness, restores skin elasticity, tightens pores, improves sagging, and conditions dry, aging, and dull skin; compound plant oil C combined with bisabolol and chuanxiong oil, with chuanxiong's pungent and warming properties, can invigorate blood and remove blood stasis; drawing on traditional Chinese herbal medicine oil preparation techniques, it improves skin roughness, enhances skin elasticity, and reduces wrinkles.
