Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to Plant Extracts, specifically, are to be related to a kind of plant extracts with moisture-keeping efficacy,
The invention further relates to the preparation method of this Plant Extracts, belongs to cosmetic field.
Background technology
The fundamental of healthy skin is smooth, full, high resilience.With the increase at age, in keratoderma
NMF content is gradually decreased, and causes the hydratability of skin to decline, and is shown as drying, is wrinkled, relaxes.Skin water content drops
Low be aged appearance pathomechanism.
Dry skin is because in space between cells that the lipid for playing water lock moisture-keeping function is lost, and cuticula moisture is reduced, skin
Skin barrier is damaged.When cuticular water content is less than 10%, dry skin, furfur, imbricate keratinocyte layer arranged in parallel
There is crack.
As can be seen here, the water content of skin is maintained, it is ensured that the moisture in cuticula is to maintain skin emolliency and elasticity
Key factor, and most important basic means of improving looks.
Moisturizer species in the market is various, but moistening effect is poor, and generally existing cannot persistently moisturizing, easily

Without seed and cottonrose hibiscus flower, remaining is same as Example 2.
(2) with regard to the preparation of test sample
First, the plant extracts of embodiment 1-6 and comparative example 3 is added separately in Essence matrix, makes essence
Magnificent liquid.
Wherein:The mass ratio 4 of plant extracts and Essence matrix:96.
The Essence matrix is the conventional use of Essence matrix of this area Essence, based on gross mass 100g, each group
Divide and its content is shown in Table 1:
Table 1
Essence Matrix formulation procedure:
The deionized water in A phases is heated to 80-90 DEG C first, A phase clouts is subsequently adding, is uniformly dispersed, and homogeneous is to nothing
Particle, when being cooled to 50-60 DEG C, adds B phases to adjust pH to 6-7, continues stirring and be cooled to 45 DEG C, add C phases, stir,
It is cooled to 35 DEG C to obtain final product.
The preparation method of Essence is:
Plant extracts by any one for embodiment group and in comparative example 3 adds above-mentioned A phases and B phases together with above-mentioned C phases
In the mixture of preparation, stir, be cooled to 35 DEG C and obtain final product Essence.
(3) performance of keeping humidity test
1st, test population:The experimenter of 90 Dries, age 20-60 year, sex are random, are divided into 9 groups, per group 10
People.
2nd, method of testing:
1) technical staff tests the test position that Corneometer CM825 measure experimenter using moisture content of skin, takes
Mean value, is designated as blank value.
2) experimenter uses moisture content of skin by technical staff after continuously using test sample 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h
Test Corneometer CM825 are measured 5 times, are averaged, and are recorded numerical value, be the results are shown in Table 2;
2 moisture test result of table
Test sample | 0h | 0.5h | 1h | 2h | 4h | 6h |
