Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a water-soluble female vaginal moisturizing and lubricating composition using natural materials and a method for manufacturing the same. Specifically, it relates to a composition and method for manufacturing a lubricant composed of natural plant extracts and enzyme components without the use of conventional thickeners or petroleum-based chemicals, which, upon use, provides lubrication within the female vagina, regulates vaginal pH, and controls bacterial activity to maintain vaginal health. Background Technology

[0002] If a woman's vaginal lubrication is insufficient during sexual intercourse due to aging-related menopause, changes in female hormones, stress, side effects of medications such as antihistamines or hormone therapy, or the nature of the relationship, the vaginal tissue may become dry, causing pain or suffering from bleeding during intercourse.

[0003] Although various lubricant compositions for vaginal use are widely manufactured and sold, most petroleum jelly-type lubricants have the disadvantage of reducing sperm motility and often cause itching or infection because they make it difficult to maintain the balance of active bacteria in the vagina.

[0004] In addition, existing products primarily use thickeners and various additives to provide lubrication, and many side effects associated with this have been reported.

[0005] In addition, existing prior art uses paraben-based drugs as preservatives, but these are being studied as drugs that can affect the endocrine system. Another prior art uses phosphoric acid, monoethanolamine, and triethanolamine as additives, which are also drugs with controversial harmful effects on the human body. In particular, they react with formaldehyde-based drugs to produce nitrosamines, and since these drugs have shown results in actual animal experiments as carcinogenic and immune system toxic substances, they are drugs that require caution when used.

[0006] Prior art for such quality lubricants includes Korean Patent No. 10-1490851 "Aqueous humectant and lubricant and their uses" (Registration date: 2015.02.02)) and Korean Registered Patent No. 10-2176076 "Lubricant composition" (Registration date: 2020.11.03). Prior art literature

[0007] Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-1490851 "Aqueous humectants and lubricants and their uses" (Registration Date: Feb. 2, 2015) Republic of Korea Registered Patent No. 10-2176076 "Lubricant composition" (Registration Date: Nov. 3, 2020) The problem to be solved

[0008] The objective of the present invention is to provide a water-soluble vaginal moisturizing and lubricating composition using natural materials and a method for manufacturing the same. By composing natural plant extracts with enzyme components and plant essential oils as additives without using conventional thickeners or petroleum-based chemicals, the invention provides lubricity within the vagina upon use, thereby eliminating discomfort or pain caused by a lack of vaginal fluid during intercourse and enhancing sexual sensitivity, and also provides a composition and method for manufacturing a lubricant that can maintain vaginal health by controlling the pH and bacterial activity within the vagina. means of solving the problem

[0009] To achieve the above objective, the process consists of a first dissolution step (A10) in which a lubricant composition is dissolved in water, a second mixing step (A20) in which plant essential oils and additives are mixed, and a third mixing stabilization step (A30) in which enzymes and pH regulators are added to the composition to stabilize it. The chemicals used in each step are as follows: the first dissolution step (A10) consists of 100 to 200 parts by weight of seaweed extract, 100 to 200 parts by weight of moisture retainer, and 30 to 50 parts by weight of plant extract in 1000 parts by weight of distilled water; the second mixing step (A20) consists of 2 to 5 parts by weight of plant essential oils and 2 to 5 parts by weight of antioxidants; and the third mixing stabilization step (A30) consists of 30 to 50 parts by weight of enzymes and 5 to 10 parts by weight of pH regulators. Effects of the invention

[0010] The liquid product of the present invention can produce a natural-friendly vaginal moisturizer and lubricant that maintains the osmotic pressure and pH of the vagina at a normal vaginal environment without a foreign sensation and maintains vaginal cleanliness by using natural seaweed extracts, enzymes, natural antioxidants, and plant extracts, without using petroleum-based chemicals or additives harmful to the human body and the environment. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0011] Figure 1 is a process flowchart of a water-soluble moisturizing and lubricating composition and a method for manufacturing according to the present invention. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0012] Hereinafter, the water-soluble moisturizing and lubricating composition and manufacturing method of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0013] The manufacturing method of the present invention as illustrated in FIG. 1 consists of a first dissolution step (A10) in which a lubricant composition is dissolved in water, a second mixing step (A20) in which plant essential oil and additives are mixed, and a third mixing stabilization step (A30) in which an enzyme and a pH adjuster are added to the composition to stabilize it. The chemicals used in each step are as follows: for the first dissolution step (A10), 100 to 200 parts by weight of seaweed extract, 100 to 200 parts by weight of moisture retainer, and 30 to 50 parts by weight of plant extract are added to 1000 parts by weight of distilled water; for the second mixing step (A20), 2 to 5 parts by weight of plant essential oil and 2 to 5 parts by weight of antioxidant are added; and for the third mixing stabilization step (A30), 30 to 50 parts by weight of enzyme and 5 to 10 parts by weight of pH adjuster are added.

[0014] The composition and manufacturing method of the product according to the above configuration are as follows.

[0015] As illustrated in FIG. 1, the first dissolution step (A10) for dissolving the lubricant composition in water involves adding 1,000 parts by weight of distilled water, 100 to 200 parts by weight of seaweed extract, 100 to 200 parts by weight of moisture retainer, and 30 to 50 parts by weight of plant extract to a stirrer and stirring at 25 rpm / min for 40 minutes at 25 degrees Celsius to completely dissolve the components.

[0016] Seaweed extracts are water-soluble polysaccharides and can be used as one or a mixture of carrageenan, spirulan, alginic acid, and agar. The present invention uses 100 to 200 parts by weight of carrageenan to impart viscosity and lubricity to the lubricant; however, when used in amounts exceeding the appropriate amount, the viscosity increases, making it difficult to maintain the osmotic pressure within the vagina at 260 to 290 mOsm / kg.

[0017] 100 to 200 parts by weight of 2% low molecular weight hyluronic acid was used as a moisture retainer, and using more than the appropriate amount is uneconomical.

[0018] Cucumber extract and chamomile extract may be used as plant extracts, and the present invention increased the skin protective and anti-inflammatory effects in the vagina by using 30 to 50 parts by weight of chamomile extract obtained by adding 1,000 parts by weight of purified water and 80g of chamomile herb to an ultrasonic extractor at 25 degrees Celsius, applying 25,000Hz ultrasound to vibrate for 10 minutes, and then stabilizing for 50 minutes, repeating this process 5 times.

[0019] The second mixing step (A20) involves adding 2 to 5 parts by weight of vegetable essential oil and 2 to 5 parts by weight of antioxidant to the composition formed in the first dissolving step, and stirring at 25 rpm / min at 25 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes to ensure complete mixing.

[0020] Plant essential oils such as rosehip essential oil, peppermint essential oil, and cypress essential oil may be used, and the present invention used 2 to 5 parts by weight of peppermint essential oil (D: 0.896~0.908 g / cm3, pH: 8).

[0021] Peppermint essential oil has strong antibacterial properties and the ability to increase blood flow in the vagina, so its use enhances vaginal sensitivity. However, using more than the appropriate amount is ineffective due to strong irritation.

[0022] Vitamin C, vitamin E, or rosemary essential oil may be used as an antioxidant, and the present invention used 2 to 5 parts by weight of rosemary essential oil (D: 0.894~0.912 g / cm3, pH 4.5~6.5).

[0023] Rosemary essential oil is used as a strong antioxidant and as a corrosion and oxidation inhibitor for lubricants.

[0024] If used in excess of the appropriate amount, the proper viscosity of the lubricant cannot be maintained.

[0025] In the third mixing stabilization step (A30), 30 to 50 parts by weight of enzyme and 5 to 10 parts by weight of glycolic acid as a pH adjuster are added to the mixture formed in the second mixing step, and a UV-C (100~280 nm) wavelength LED light is installed in a stirrer and stirred at 25 rpm / min for 35 minutes at 25 degrees Celsius.

[0026] The enzyme may be hyaluronidase, glycosidase, or amylase, and the present invention used 30 to 50 parts by weight of hyaluronidase.

[0027] Hyaluronidase functions to improve lubricant properties by maintaining the viscosity of lubricant components and processing carbides within the vagina. Using more than the appropriate amount is uneconomical.

[0028] 5 to 10 parts by weight of glycolic acid is used as a pH adjuster to adjust the pH of the lubricant to 3.8 to 4.5, thereby promoting the activation of beneficial bacteria in the vagina.

[0029] A UV-C (100~280nm) LED light is installed in the stirring solution during stirring to prevent contamination by microorganisms, strains, etc. during the manufacturing process, thereby producing a water-soluble moisturizing and lubricating agent of the present invention having a viscosity of 2000 to 4000 cps and a pH of 3.8 to 4.5.
