Solution Overview

Problem

Existing skin treatments fail to provide a comprehensive solution for improving skin health and appearance, as products often do not maximize their benefits when used, such as face masks applied to skin with blocked pores, lacking a complete detoxification and nourishment process.

Innovation Solution

A skin treatment method and product that combines a bentonite paste with a vitamin and/or mineral-infused moisturizer, where the bentonite paste is applied to extract oils, toxins, and impurities, followed by a moisturizer to nourish the skin, enhancing the effectiveness of subsequent moisturizing steps and maintaining skin health without dehydration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If face masks are applied to skin with blocked pores, then the mask provides moisturizing effect, but the effectiveness is reduced due to impurities and toxins blocking skin absorption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of moisturizing productVSAvoidblocked pores with impurities and toxins
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The bentonite paste is applied before the moisturizing mask to perform preliminary detoxification and deep cleansing of the skin. This preliminary action removes impurities, toxins, and excess oils from blocked pores, preparing the skin to receive and absorb the subsequent moisturizing treatment more effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The skin treatment is divided into separate sequential steps: first applying bentonite paste for detoxification, then applying the moisturizing mask. This segmentation allows each product to perform its specific function optimally without interference from impurities or conflicting ingredients.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If sodium bentonite is used for deep cleansing, then toxins and impurities are removed, but the skin becomes dehydrated and dried out

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetoxins and impurities on skinVSAvoidskin moisture and hydration
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameter of the bentonite clay from sodium bentonite to calcium bentonite. Calcium bentonite provides the same deep cleansing and toxin-removal benefits but with a less dehydrating effect on the skin, maintaining better moisture balance during the detoxification process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If multiple separate skin treatment products are used for detoxification and moisturizing, then comprehensive skin care is achieved, but the treatment process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of skin treatmentVSAvoidnumber of separate products and steps
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the bentonite paste and moisturizing mask into a single integrated packaging unit with separate compartments. This merging allows users to access both treatment products conveniently in one package, simplifying the overall treatment process while maintaining the comprehensive two-step skincare regimen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A skin treatment product and method includes steps of detoxifying cleansing, tightening, and moisturizing skin, by applying bentonite paste, followed by a skin moisturizer, to provide improved skin health and appearance. A single packaging contains bentonite paste and the skin moisturizer. The bentonite paste may be applied in a first step to extract oils, toxins, bacteria and other materials from the skin. After the bentonite paste dries and is removed, the moisturizer is applied to the skin, preferably a vitamin and/or mineral infused moisturizer. In one embodiment, the skin moisturizer is in the form of a skin mask. Following moisturizing the skin, a third step may be to nourish the skin. The skin treatment may be applied to facial skin, feet, hands, or any skin surface.
