Botanical Calming Composition for Free-Radical Photo-Aging Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cosmetic compositions fail to effectively prevent and counteract skin photo-aging and related skin disorders caused by overexposure to sun and toxic free radicals, leading to issues like wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and skin damage.
Innovation Solution
A topical composition comprising vitamin C source, copper source, cannabinoid components, sodium hyaluronate, and additional ingredients like azelaic acid and green tea polyphenols, which are applied to protect the skin against extrinsic and intrinsic aggressors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional cosmetic compositions are used, then skin care is provided, but they fail to effectively prevent and counteract skin photo-aging and related skin disorders
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple active ingredients (vitamin C, copper peptides, cannabinoids, sodium hyaluronate, azelaic acid, and green tea polyphenols) in a single topical composition to create a synergistic effect that effectively prevents and treats skin photo-aging, addressing the limitation of conventional single-ingredient or simple multi-ingredient formulations
Solution Approach 2:
The formulation uses specific concentration ranges for each ingredient (e.g., vitamin C at 0.1-10%, copper peptides at 0.01-5%, cannabinoids at 0.1-5%) to optimize the anti-aging and protective effects while minimizing potential irritation, thereby improving reliability without increasing harmful effects
2Object-affected harmful factors
If free radicals from UV light and pollution are present, then skin exposure is increased, but they hydrolyze elastin fibers and desynthesize collagen causing wrinkles and skin damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates antioxidants (vitamin C, green tea polyphenols) that neutralize harmful free radicals and convert them into beneficial effects, while copper peptides and cannabinoids stimulate collagen production and elastin fiber repair, thereby transforming the harmful free radical environment into a protective and regenerative one
Solution Approach 2:
The formulation provides preemptive protection by including ingredients that strengthen skin structure before free radical damage occurs, with copper peptides and sodium hyaluronate maintaining collagen and elastin integrity in advance, preventing the hydrolysis and desynthesis that would otherwise occur
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The composition effectively treats and prevents skin damage by reducing wrinkles, improving skin elasticity, and enhancing skin firmness, while providing antioxidant and anti-aging benefits.
Implementation Method 1
The free radicals are destructive in that the free radicals hydrolyze elastin fibers in the skin and desynthesize collagen in the lower dermal layers of the skin
Implementation Method 2
copper source comprises copper PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid), copper peptide
Implementation Method 3
sodium hyaluronate
Implementation Method 4
one or more cannabinoid components
Implementation Method 5
an antioxidant system comprising green tea polyphenols
