Cannabinoid Skin Composition Using Triglyceride Oils
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cannabinoid-containing compositions and methods for treating skin disorders are limited in their effectiveness and do not address all types of skin disorders.
Innovation Solution
A novel topical anti-microbial composition comprising a pharmacologically effective amount of one or more cannabinoids combined with one or more triglyceride oils in a suitable base, specifically using naturally derived CBD, THC, meadowfoam seed oil, and squalene.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If cannabinoid-containing compositions are used to treat skin disorders, then anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory effects are achieved, but penetration and stability of cannabinoids are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines cannabinoids with triglyceride oils (such as meadowfoam seed oil and squalene) to create a composite composition. This composite approach enhances the stability and skin penetration of cannabinoids while maintaining their therapeutic effects for treating skin disorders like acne and microbial infections.
2Reliability
If cannabinoid-containing compositions are used to treat skin disorders, then anti-microbial effects are achieved, but penetration of cannabinoids into skin is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses triglyceride oils as intermediary carriers to facilitate the penetration of cannabinoids into the skin. These oils act as mediators that enhance the delivery and absorption of cannabinoids, improving their ability to reach target sites for treating microbial skin conditions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If existing cannabinoid compositions are used, then some skin disorders are treated, but not all types of skin disorders are addressed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent formulates a versatile cannabinoid composition with triglyceride oils that can effectively treat multiple types of skin disorders including acne, microbial infections, and other dermatological conditions. This universal formulation approach enhances the adaptability of the composition across different skin disease presentations.
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 a variety of skin disorders, particularly acne and other microbial skin conditions, by enhancing the penetration and stability of cannabinoids, thereby providing anti-microbial and skin metabolic enhancing properties.
Implementation Method 1
a novel topical anti-microbial composition comprising a pharmacologically effective amount of one or more cannabinoids combined with one or more triglyceride oils... enhancing the penetration and stability of cannabinoids
Implementation Method 2
enhancing the penetration and stability of cannabinoids... about 0.05-5.00% by weight of at least one cannabinoid and about 1.00-42.00% by weight of at least one triglyceride oil
