Abstract
Ethanolic chia (Salvia hispanica) seed extracts are provided in a system including one or more polyols and at least one hydrophobic compound that solubilize hydrophobic and slightly hydrophilic fractions of the extracts. The polyol can be pentylene glycol. The at least one hydrophobic compound can be a light oil or an ester including, but not limited to, glyceryl caprylate, glyceryl trioctanoate, isodecyl neopentanoate, isononyl isononanoate, isopropyl myristate, phenethyl benzoate, propylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate, propylene glycol dioctanoate and combinations thereof. The system or solution can form a cosmetic composition which is highly stable. A method for preparing the composition also is provided.
Claims10
A method of preparing a cosmetic composition comprising:
- providing an ethanolic chia (Salvia hispanica) seed extract, the extract including less than 30% ethanol by weight of the ethanolic chia seed extract, a chia seed hydrophobic fraction, and a chia seed slightly hydrophilic fraction;
- and
- admixing the ethanolic chia (Salvia hispanica) seed extract with a polyol and at least one hydrophobic compound to form a solubilized chia extract cosmetic composition,
- wherein the polyol solubilizes a first portion of the chia seed hydrophobic fraction and solubilizes the chia seed slightly hydrophilic fraction,
- wherein the at least one hydrophobic compound is at least one of an ester and a light oil,
- wherein the hydrophobic compound solubilizes a second portion of the chia seed hydrophobic fraction,
- wherein the solubilized chia seed extract cosmetic composition comprises 60% pentylene glycol, 35% isononyl isononanoate, and 5% ethanolic chia (Salvia hispanica) seed extract by percent weight of the solubilized chia seed extract cosmetic composition.
A method of preparing a cosmetic composition comprising:
- providing an ethanolic chia (Salvia hispanica) seed extract including a chia seed hydrophobic fraction and a chia seed slightly hydrophobic fraction;
- and
- admixing the ethanolic chia seed extract with a dual solvent system to form a solubilized chia seed extract cosmetic composition, the dual solvent system including at least one polyol that solubilizes the chia seed hydrophobic fraction and the chia seed slightly hydrophobic fraction, the dual solvent system including at least one of an ester and a light oil that solubilizes the chia seed hydrophobic fraction,
- wherein the polyol is pentylene glycol,
- wherein the at least one of an ester and a light oil is isononyl isononanoate, and
- wherein the ratio between pentylene glycol and the isononyl isononanoate is 12:7.
