Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a mosquito repellent and sunscreen composition, product, and manufacturing process thereof, particularly a mosquito repellent and sunscreen composition, product, and manufacturing process thereof that is skin-friendly and long-lasting. Prior Technology
[0002] Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by the dengue virus, primarily transmitted to humans by mosquitoes, such as Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti. With global climate change and warming trends, the geographical distribution and endemic areas of dengue fever are gradually expanding, posing a serious challenge to public health.
[0003] In 2023, Tainan City, Taiwan, experienced its worst dengue fever outbreak since 2015, with over 20,000 confirmed cases and 19 deaths reported throughout the year. In the same year, the Thai Epidemiology Department reported 132,126 dengue fever cases, including 142 deaths, as of mid-November. This represents a significant increase compared to the 48,679 cases and 32 deaths in 2022.
[0004] Europe has also been affected, with the Aedes albopictus mosquito spreading from Southern Europe to at least 13 countries, including Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and Greece. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), dengue fever cases within Europe rose from 71 in 2022 to 130 in 2023, compared to only 73 cases between 2010 and 2021. Furthermore, imported cases surged from 1,572 in 2022 to 4,900 in 2023. The ECDC attributes the rise in dengue fever cases to climate change and increased population movement.
[0005] Currently, mosquito repellent products on the market mainly fall into two categories: mosquito repellents and insecticides. Many traditional mosquito repellent products contain chemical ingredients, such as DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), which, although effective, may irritate the skin, especially for children and people with sensitive skin. Furthermore, the effective time of traditional mosquito repellent products is usually short, requiring frequent reapplication to maintain the effect, which increases the inconvenience of use.
[0006] Therefore, there is still room for improvement in conventional pesticide technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The main purpose of this application is to solve the problems of traditional mosquito repellent products having short-lasting effects and being unfriendly to human skin.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this application provides a mosquito repellent and sunscreen composition, wherein the raw material composition comprises, by weight percentage: a lemon eucalyptus oil content ranging from 5% to 15%; an alcohol content ranging from 5% to 15%, wherein the alcohol content is greater than or equal to the lemon eucalyptus oil content; at least a chemical sunscreen agent content ranging from 1% to 10%; at least a synthetic ester content ranging from 0.1% to 13%; an aqueous thickener content ranging from 0.1% to 0.2%; an aqueous preservative content ranging from 0.1% to 0.3%; an oil-in-water emulsifier content ranging from 0.5% to 5%; and a pure water component to make up the balance to 100%.
[0009] Another embodiment of this application provides a process method for manufacturing a mosquito repellent and sunscreen composition, comprising the following steps: classifying the raw materials of the mosquito repellent and sunscreen composition according to the oil phase and the water phase; heating the oil phase and the water phase raw materials to 75°C respectively; pouring the water phase raw materials into the oil phase raw materials and stirring and emulsifying to form an emulsion, and then stopping the heating; mixing lemon eucalyptus essential oil and alcohol at room temperature to form a mixture; pouring the mixture into the emulsion and stirring evenly until the temperature drops to room temperature, thereby forming the mosquito repellent and sunscreen composition.
[0010] Another embodiment of this application provides a container for containing a mosquito repellent and sunscreen composition, comprising: a bottle body, a press-type nozzle, a dispensing tube, a sleeve, and a drain tube. The bottle body has an internal accommodating space for accommodating the mosquito repellent and sunscreen composition. A nozzle is disposed on the side of the press-type nozzle and is located above the bottle body. The dispensing tube is located at the bottom of the press-type nozzle and is connected to the nozzle. The sleeve covers part of the structure of the dispensing tube and houses a steel ball and an elastic element inside the sleeve. One end of the elastic element is attached to one end of the dispensing tube and is used to return the press-type nozzle to its initial position. The drain tube is connected to the other end of the sleeve and is located in the accommodating space, with one end of the drain tube near the bottom of the accommodating space. With the above structure, force is applied to the press-type nozzle, causing the drain tube to draw in the mosquito repellent and sunscreen composition and deliver it to the dispensing tube, and then spray the mosquito repellent and sunscreen composition through the nozzle.
[0011] The products made from the mosquito repellent and sunscreen composition of this application are multifunctional, which can meet the needs of sun protection and mosquito repellency at one time, avoiding the inconvenience caused by using multiple products in combination. Users only need to apply one product to obtain dual protection against sun and mosquitoes at the same time.
[0012] Furthermore, this application uses lemon eucalyptus essential oil as the main ingredient for mosquito repellent. Lemon eucalyptus essential oil is a naturally extracted plant oil with low irritation to human skin, making it particularly suitable for children and people with sensitive skin. In addition, lemon eucalyptus essential oil can maintain a good mosquito repellency rate for up to 3 hours after application, demonstrating its long-lasting mosquito repellent effect.

[0055] Figures 9 and 10 show the results of testing using an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) Valve Analyzer after the mosquito repellent and sunscreen composition 20 of this application was filled into a container to form a sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 9, which provides some detailed information about the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray of this application. The following results can be seen from the figure:
[0057] 1. SPF value (59.27): SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is an indicator used to measure the ability of sunscreen to filter out ultraviolet B (280-320 nm) radiation. An SPF value of 59.27 indicates that the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray of this application has a high protective ability in the UVB band. In other words, after using the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray of this application, the skin can withstand 59.27 times more UVB radiation dose when exposed to sunlight than when the product is not used without sunburn.
[0058] 2. UVA / UVB ratio (0.843) and UVA / UVB ratio (0.88): The above ratios indicate the balance between the protection capabilities of this sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray in the UVA (320-400 nm) and UVB ranges. The values of 0.843 and 0.88 show that the product provides relatively balanced protection against both UVA and UVB.
[0059] 3. Boots Star Rating (4 stars): The Boots star rating is based on the product's protection effect in the UVA range. The more stars, the stronger the UVA protection ability. 4 stars means that the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray of this application performs excellently in terms of UVA protection.
[0060] 4. Critical wavelength (377.5 nm): The critical wavelength refers to the wavelength at which the energy accumulation of the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray in this application reaches 90% in the absorption spectrum. 377.5 nm is close to 400 nm, indicating that the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray in this application provides broad-spectrum protection, covering most of the UVA and UVB bands.
[0061] 5. Maximum percentage transmittance coefficient of variation (Max. %T COV: 14.23): This indicates the consistency of absorbance data during the test; a lower value indicates more stable measurement results. 14.23 is within a reasonable range, indicating that the test results are reliable.
[0062] 6. Curve Area (170.34): The curve area represents the total absorbance within a specified wavelength range (290-400 nm). The larger the area, the stronger the absorption capacity.
[0063] 7. UVA Protection Factor (UVA PF: 39.75) and Erythema UVA Protection Factor (Erythema UVA PF: 30.33): The UVA PF value indicates the protective ability of this sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray in the UVA band. Both values are very high, indicating that this sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray also has a strong protective ability in the UVA band.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 10, which is mainly used to analyze the light absorption capacity of sunscreen and mosquito repellent sprays at different wavelengths, thereby evaluating their sun protection effect. The following results can be seen from the figure:
[0065] 1. Characteristics of the absorbance curves: Each curve represents one test scan, with a total of 9 scans (Scan1 to Scan9), and an average absorbance curve (Avg A). The absorbance values range from approximately 1.6 to 1.9, indicating that the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray of this application has a high absorption capacity for ultraviolet light within the test range. Furthermore, the curves of each scan largely overlap, indicating good consistency in absorbance measurement results between different scans, demonstrating high instrument stability and reliability of the measurement results. The dashed line (Avg Ab) in Figure 10 represents the average absorbance curve. This curve smoothly connects the average absorbance values at each wavelength, further confirming the protective effect of the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray of this application across the entire ultraviolet wavelength range.
[0066] 2. Wavelength range: The wavelength range is from 290 nm to 400 nm, almost covering the UVB (280-320 nm) and UVA (320-400 nm) ranges, indicating that the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray of this application has high absorbance throughout the entire ultraviolet range, demonstrating its ability to provide broad-spectrum protection. The absorbance reaches its peak at a wavelength of approximately 335 nm, indicating that the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray of this application has the strongest ultraviolet absorption capability in this wavelength band.
[0067] 3. Peaks and troughs: The absorbance begins to increase at around 320 nm and reaches its peak at approximately 340-350 nm. Subsequently, the absorbance decreases rapidly after 370 nm. This trend shows the absorption effect of the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray of this application in the UVA and UVB bands.
[0068] In summary, the above experiments demonstrate the light absorption characteristics of the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray of this application in the UVB and UVA range, exhibiting good light absorption capacity and stability, and providing broad-spectrum ultraviolet protection.
