Description

Polysaccharide composition and skin care product The present invention relates to a polysaccharide composition and a skin care product, and in particular to a polysaccharide composition and a skin care product that can be used as a thickener or a stringing agent. The moisturizing and antioxidant properties of skincare products have always been a key research and development focus in this field. However, in commercially available skincare products and conventional thickeners or stringing agents, non-natural ingredients are often used as thickeners or stringing agents to provide moisturizing properties. Reflecting the recent emphasis on natural ingredients and market demand, the development of a new type of thickener or stringing agent, derived from natural sources, that maintains a pleasant stringy feel and enhances skin feel while providing a refreshing and moisturizing effect for use in skincare products has become a pressing goal for those skilled in the art. The present invention provides a polysaccharide composition and a skin care product. The polysaccharide composition is derived from natural plant sources, can maintain a good brushed feel and improve skin feel, while giving the skin a refreshing and moisturizing effect, and can be used in skin care products. The polysaccharide composition of the present invention comprises Tremella fuciformis extract, Echeveria oleifera extract, linseed extract and ergothioneine. In one embodiment of the present invention, based on the total weight of the polysaccharide composition, the content of Tremella fuciformis extract is 30 wt % to 70 wt %, the content of Echeveria indica extract is 1 wt % to 30 wt %, the content of linseed extract is 1 wt % to 30 wt %, and the content of ergothioneine is 1 wt % to 20 wt %. In one embodiment of the present invention, the pH value of the polysaccharide composition is 4 to 9. The skin care product of the present invention contains the above-mentioned polysaccharide composition. In one embodiment of the present invention, the skin care product includes essence, cream, lotion or facial mask. In one embodiment of the present invention, the content of the polysaccharide composition is 1 wt % to 10 wt % based on the total weight of the skin care product. In one embodiment of the present invention, the viscosity of the skin care product is 500 cps to 1200 cps. Based on the above, the polysaccharide composition of the present invention includes Tremella fuciformis extract, Echeveria extract, Linseed extract, and ergothioneine, all of which are derived from natural plant sources, meeting the recent emphasis on natural material ingredients and market demand. In addition, the polysaccharide composition of the present invention has a good stringy feel and enhances skin feel. It can be used in skin care products as a thickener or stringing agent to provide refreshing and moisturizing effects on the skin. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. However, these embodiments are merely illustrative and the present invention is not limited thereto. In this document, the term "from a value to another value" is used as a summary to avoid listing all values ​​within the range. Therefore, a description of a specific numerical range encompasses any value within that range and any smaller numerical ranges defined by that value, just as if the value and the smaller numerical range were listed in the specification. The polysaccharide composition of the present invention includes Tremella fuciformis extract, Echeveria oleracea extract, Linseed extract, and ergothioneine. The pH value of the polysaccharide composition is, for example, 4 to 9. The various components described above will be described in detail below. < Tremella fuciformis extract > The Tremella fuciformis extract of the present invention has extremely high moisturizing and anti-oxidant properties. When applied to the skin, it forms a transparent film, leaving the skin smooth and soft, while increasing its radiance. The Tremella fuciformis extract content, for example, is 30 wt% to 70 wt% based on the total weight of the polysaccharide composition. < Echeveria Extract > The Echeveria extract of the present invention contains plant polysaccharides and abundant plant polyphenols, which effectively combat skin oxidation, astringe the skin, calm inflammation, and reduce redness and swelling. The Echeveria extract content, for example, ranges from 1 wt% to 30 wt%, based on the total weight of the polysaccharide composition. < Flaxseed Extract > The flaxseed extract of the present invention has good affinity and permeability for skin, forming a thin film on the skin surface, reducing moisture loss and keeping the skin moisturized, smooth, and elastic. The flaxseed extract may be present in an amount of, for example, 1 wt% to 30 wt% based on the total weight of the polysaccharide composition. < Ergothioneine > The ergothioneine of the present invention is a unique natural antioxidant that has a good preventive effect on skin oxidation. Topical application on the skin can effectively prevent wrinkles, reduce signs of skin aging, and reduce photodamage. The content of ergothioneine is, for example, 1 wt% to 20 wt% based on the total weight of the polysaccharide composition. The skin care product of the present invention contains the above-mentioned polysaccharide composition. In this embodiment, the skin care product may include an essence, cream, lotion or facial mask, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The content of the polysaccharide composition is, for example, 1 wt% to 10 wt% based on the total weight of the skin care product. The viscosity of the skin care product is, for example, 500 cps to 1200 cps. The polysaccharide composition of the present invention can be used as a thickener, film-forming agent or humectant and added to the aqueous phase of the formula. The moisturizing power of the polysaccharide can make the skin feel refreshing and silky, and has a brushed visual effect and a hyaluronic acid-like application feel, thereby enhancing the texture of the product. In summary, the present invention provides a polysaccharide composition and a skin care product. The polysaccharide composition of the present invention includes Tremella fuciformis extract, Echeveria echeveria extract, linseed extract and ergothioneine, all of which are derived from natural plant sources, which meets the recent emphasis on natural material ingredients and market demand. In addition, the polysaccharide composition of the present invention has a good wire drawing feel and enhances skin feel. It can be used in skin care products as a thickener or wire drawing agent to give the skin a refreshing and moisturizing effect. Polysaccharides are high molecular polymers formed by the polymerization of more than 10 monosaccharides. In the use of skin care products, they can be used to replace chemical film formers, thickeners and moisturizers, and have anti-aging and moisturizing effects. none none
