Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cosmetic compositions fail to effectively neutralize free radicals, deeply hydrate the skin, and stimulate skin recovery and regeneration, particularly in the context of natural and external aging processes that lead to skin elasticity loss, wrinkles, and pigmentation issues.

Innovation Solution

A cosmetic composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion using organic apple water as a base, combined with active ingredients like betulin, bakuchiol, glycerin-water extracts from tomato and ginkgo, honey, acerola extract, and other natural oils, and aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and emollients such as carrot seed oil, which are rich in beta-carotene, and aloe vera, to provide antioxidant and moisturizing properties.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional cosmetic compositions are used, then basic skin care functions are provided, but they fail to effectively neutralize free radicals, deeply hydrate the skin, and stimulate skin recovery and regeneration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of free radical neutralization, deep hydration, and skin regenerationVSAvoidformulation complexity with multiple natural active ingredients
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple natural active ingredients (betulin, bakuchiol, glycerin-water extracts from tomato and ginkgo, honey, acerola extract, aloe vera, and various natural oils) into a single cosmetic composition. This merging of multiple bioactive components with different mechanisms of action synergistically enhances free radical neutralization, deep hydration, and skin regeneration effects while maintaining formulation stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses a composite formulation comprising apple water as the base, combined with multiple plant-derived extracts, natural oils, and bioactive compounds. Each component contributes specific properties: apple water provides hydration and antioxidants, plant extracts provide phytochemicals for skin repair, natural oils provide emollience and fatty acids, creating a synergistic composite material that addresses multiple aging concerns simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If the composition uses multiple natural active ingredients for enhanced efficacy, then skin recovery and regeneration is stimulated, but the formulation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin recovery and regeneration stimulationVSAvoidnumber of active ingredients and emulsion components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cosmetic composition is designed with multi-functional active ingredients that simultaneously perform multiple functions. For example, apple water provides both hydration and antioxidant protection; natural oils provide both emollience and essential fatty acids for skin barrier repair; plant extracts provide both anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate ingredients for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes the concentration and composition ratios of multiple active ingredients to achieve synergistic effects while maintaining formulation stability. By carefully controlling parameters such as the amount of each extract, oil phase composition, and emulsifier ratios, the formulation achieves enhanced skin regeneration without requiring excessive numbers of ingredients.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If apple water is used as the base instead of conventional water, then deep hydration and antioxidant properties are enhanced, but the formulation requires specialized preparation and handling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeep hydration and antioxidant efficacyVSAvoidpreparation process of apple water base
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The apple water base is prepared in advance through a standardized process involving apple juice extraction, pasteurization, and concentration before being used as the foundation for the cosmetic formulation. This preliminary preparation ensures the apple water has the desired hydration and antioxidant properties while making it ready for integration into the final product, simplifying the overall manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces conventional water with apple water as the base medium, substituting a simple inorganic substance with a complex organic-derived liquid that contains natural antioxidants, vitamins, and bioactive compounds. This substitution enhances the functional properties of the formulation while the standardized preparation method ensures consistency and ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
