Examples
The present application is further illustrated by the following examples and provides data support for the benefits of the present application. The application is not limited by these examples.
EXAMPLE 1 preparation of Fullerene-containing compositions
Sodium hyaluronate and fullerene were complexed in different mass ratios selected according to table 1 and dispersed in aqueous solution of butylene glycol to obtain the final compositions 1-9.
Table 1 composition ratio of each component
Example 2 stability test-high temperature test
The compositions 7, 8 and 9 of example 1 were selected and placed at an ambient temperature of 60 ℃. The composition properties and the combined five fullerene contents are detected at the beginning of the test, after 1 month, after 2 months and after 3 months, respectively. The results are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2 high temperature testing of compositions
The results in table 2 show that compositions 7, 8 and 9 all retain good stability after 90 days of high temperature testing.
Example 3 stability testing-Hot and Cold cycle testing
After selecting the composition 7, the composition 8 and the composition 9 in the example 1, circulating the mixture at-20 ℃ for 24 hours and 40 ℃ for 24 hours for 5 times, the properties of the compositions and the contents of five kinds of fullerene in the compositions are detected. The results are shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3 composition Cold thermal cycling test
The results in Table 3 show that samples Nos. 8 and 9 retain good stability after being subjected to the cooling-heating cycle test at-20 ℃ and 40 ℃.
Example 4 skin moisturization and elasticity test
Skin moisturization and elasticity tests were performed using control example A, B and C with composition 8.
Wherein, the comparison example A is a mixture of fullerene and high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate, the comparison example B is a mixture of fullerene and medium molecular weight sodium hyaluronate, and the comparison example C is a mixture of fullerene and low molecular weight sodium hyaluronate. Control A, B and C were prepared as aqueous formulations with composition 8 and applied to the inside of the forearm of the human body, and the moisture content of the skin before and after application was tested and tested for skin elasticity. The results are shown in tables 4 and 5.
TABLE 4 skin moisture retention assay
TABLE 5 skin elasticity measurement
As shown in tables 4 and 5, the moisture retention and skin elasticity of the compound of fullerene and sodium hyaluronate with various molecular weights are obviously better than those of sodium hyaluronate with one molecular weight.
Example 5 facial Dereddening Effect test
The control A, B and C were used in the facial redness-removing effect test with composition 9.
Of these, comparative examples A, B and C are the same as in example 4. The control examples A, B, C and the composition 9 are prepared into mask products, the facial conditions of a user of the mask products before and after use are tested, and the facial red removing effect of the mask prepared by the control examples A, B, C and the composition 9 is determined. The results are shown in FIG. 1.
In fig. 1, D denotes composition 9. According to the figure 1, the fullerene and the sodium hyaluronate with various molecular weights are compounded to prepare the mask product, the red removing effect is far better than that of the sodium hyaluronate with one molecular weight which is singly used, and the red removing effect of the sodium hyaluronate with the molecular weight in the use process is better than that of the sodium hyaluronate with the large/small molecular weights.
Example 6 testing of the repair Effect after Histamine stimulation
The post-histamine-stimulated repair effect test was performed using control example A, B as well as C, composition 9 and the blank.
Of these, the comparative examples A, B and C are the same as those in example 4. The blank control was a composition without fullerene (comprising sodium hyaluronate of the three molecular weights mentioned above and a polyol). Comparative examples A, B and C were prepared as aqueous formulations with composition 9 and tested according to the following procedure:
1. sticking the inner side skin of the forearm of the human body by using a transparent adhesive tape, damaging skin tissues and repeating for 10 times;
2. taking 4 squares of 3cm to 3cm on the left and right small arms respectively as investigation parts;
3. stimulating the test area with histamine for 10min;
4. after the action time is over, the test part is smeared with the aqueous solution prepared by the composition 9 and the control example A, B and C respectively, and the test part is photographed and observed after the action time is 30min and 60 min.
The results are shown in FIG. 2. In fig. 2, D denotes composition 9. As can be seen from fig. 2, the aqueous product prepared by compounding the fullerene and the sodium hyaluronate with various molecular weights is prepared by compounding the fullerene and the sodium hyaluronate with various molecular weights, so that the effect of relieving skin redness and swelling after histamine stimulation is far better than that of an aqueous product prepared by singly compounding one sodium hyaluronate with large or medium molecular weight and the fullerene, and the effect of relieving the aqueous product prepared by compounding the fullerene and the sodium hyaluronate with small molecular weight is equivalent to that of an aqueous product prepared by compounding the fullerene and the sodium hyaluronate with various molecular weights.
