Bruise Concealing Composition With Healing and Moisturizing Action
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional skincare products fail to provide an immediate solution for effectively concealing and healing bruises, particularly actinic purpura, which are visually undesirable and common among older adults, requiring multiple makeup products and expertise for application.
Innovation Solution
A composition comprising skin-safe colored materials and bruise-healing agents, including titanium dioxide, iron oxides, mica, and Arnica, that can be applied in one step to partially or fully conceal and heal bruises by stimulating blood flow, reducing inflammation, and moisturizing the skin.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional skincare products are used, then basic skin care functions are provided, but they fail to effectively conceal and heal bruises simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single composition: colored materials for concealment, healing agents (arnica, vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin E, tranexamic acid, retinol, bakuchiol, retinyl palmitate) for bruise treatment, and moisturizing base for skin hydration. This unified product simultaneously conceals, heals, and moisturizes bruises, eliminating the need for separate products.
Solution Approach 2:
The composition is designed to perform multiple functions universally: it can conceal bruises in various healing phases, promote healing through multiple active ingredients, and provide moisturization. The product adapts to different bruise stages and skin types while maintaining its triple functionality.
2Reliability
If multiple makeup products are used to conceal bruises, then concealment effectiveness is improved, but application complexity and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple makeup products (concealer, color corrector, moisturizer) into a single composition. The colored materials provide concealment, the healing agents treat the bruise, and the moisturizing base hydrates the skin, all in one application step.
Solution Approach 2:
The single composition performs the functions of multiple products: it conceals bruises with colored materials, heals with active ingredients, and moisturizes with the base formula, replacing the need for separate concealer, color corrector, and moisturizer products.
3Reliability
If multiple makeup products and expertise are required, then concealment quality is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple application steps into one: the single composition contains all necessary colored materials and healing agents pre-mixed, allowing users to apply everything at once without needing to layer multiple products or understand complex application techniques.
4Duration of action of moving object
If conventional products are used, then basic moisturization is provided, but they fail to accelerate bruise healing
Solution Approach 1:
The composition includes healing agents (arnica, vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin E, tranexamic acid, retinol, bakuchiol, retinyl palmitate) that work preemptively to accelerate the bruise healing process from the beginning, rather than just treating the cosmetic appearance after the fact.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a composite formulation combining multiple healing agents with different mechanisms of action: arnica for anti-inflammatory effects, vitamin K for blood clotting, vitamin C and E for antioxidant protection, tranexamic acid for preventing further bleeding, and retinol for skin regeneration. This composite approach accelerates healing more effectively than single-ingredient products.
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 conceals and accelerates the healing of bruises, reducing visible discoloration and swelling, while being easy to apply and suitable for various healing phases, with potential for full concealment and improved skin moisture.
Implementation Method 1
Color correct refers to the characteristic of neutralizing skin discoloration. For example, green neutralizes redness, peach and orange counteract blue tones, yellow combats purple and blue hues
Implementation Method 2
Arnica, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Tranexamic acid, retinol, bakuchiol, retinyl palmitate
Implementation Method 3
healing of bruises, senile purpura, and/or solar purpura
Implementation Method 4
moisturizing base comprises glycerin, caprylic triglycerides, capric triglycerides, coconut oil, olive oil, vegetable oils, dimethicone, steric acid, butylene glycol, cetyl alcohol
