Process for preparing potent plant based cosmetic actives and application to an antiperspirant active

1. A process for preparing a potent plant based active, the process comprising:

selecting a first plant material from a first plant, the first plant material being chosen from aerial parts of the first plant;

burning the first plant material to create plant ashes of the first plant material;

applying a heat treatment to the plant ashes at a temperature from 200° C. to 900° C. during at least 5 hours and up to 5 days to create a powder; and

crushing the powder into micrometric or nanometric particles to create the potent plant based active;

wherein the potent plant based active is utilized in a cosmetic preparation.

2. The process of claim 1 , further comprising:

leaching the powder with water to create a solution;

filtering the solution to remove any undissolved particles; and

evaporating the water from the solution to obtain water-soluble particles of the powder.

3. The process of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting a second plant material from a second plant, the second plant material being chosen from aerial parts of the second plant;

grinding the second plant material into pieces;

performing extraction on the second plant material through a fluid extraction process to create a plant extract;

combining the particles of the first plant material and the plant extract into the cosmetic preparation; and

incubating the cosmetic preparation at a temperature of 30-100° C. for a time period between 1 hour and 6 weeks.

4. The process of claim 3 , wherein the first plant and the second plant are the same.

5. The process of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting a third plant material from a third plant, the third plant material being chosen from aerial parts of the third plant;

distilling the third plant material with steam to create an essential oil from the third plant material;

combining the potent plant based active and the essential oil to create a cosmetic preparation; and

incubating the cosmetic preparation at a temperature of 30-100° C. for a time period between 1 hour and 6 weeks.

6. The process of claim 5 , wherein the first plant and the third plant are the same.

7. A process for preparing an antiperspirant, the process comprising:

selecting a first plant material from either Salvia sp. or Equisetum sp., the first plant material being chosen from aerial parts of Salvia sp. or Equisetum sp.;

burning the first plant material to create plant ashes from the first plant material;

applying a heat treatment to the plant ashes at a temperature from 200° C. to 900° C. during at least 5 hours and up to 5 days to create a powder; and

crushing the powder into micrometric or nanometric particles to create a potent plant based active from Salvia sp. or Equisetum sp.;

wherein the potent plant based active is used as an active in the antiperspirant.

8. The process of claim 7 , further comprising:

leaching the powder with water to create a solution;

filtering the solution to remove any undissolved particles; and

evaporating the water from the solution to obtain water-soluble particles of the powder.

9. The process of claim 7 , further comprising:

selecting a second plant material from Hydrastis sp., the second plant material being chosen from aerial parts of Hydrastis sp.;

grinding the second plant material into pieces;

performing extraction on the second plant material through a fluid extraction process to create a plant extract; and

combining the potent plant based active and the plant extract to create the antiperspirant preparation;

incubating the antiperspirant preparation at a temperature of 30-100° C. for a time period between 1 hour and 6 weeks; and

using the antiperspirant preparation in the antiperspirant.

10. The process of claim 8 , further comprising:

selecting a third plant material from either Salvia sp. or Cupressus sp. the third plant material being chosen from aerial parts of Salvia sp. or Cupressus sp.;

distilling the third plant material with steam to create an essential oil from the third plant material; and

combining the potent plant based active and the essential oil to create the antiperspirant preparation;

incubating the antiperspirant preparation at a temperature of 30-100° C. for a time period between 1 hour and 6 weeks; and

using the antiperspirant preparation in the antiperspirant.
