Carbohydrate Mixture for Skin Hydration and Anti-Aging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cosmetic compositions for anti-aging, particularly those using monosaccharides and oligosaccharides, fail to provide sustained hydration and effective stimulation of skin elasticity substances like Elastin, Collagen, and Fibrillin, leading to inadequate long-term anti-aging effectiveness and potential allergenicity.
Innovation Solution
A mixture of carbohydrate active ingredients comprising a weight ratio of 70:30 to 90:10 of monosaccharides (Arabinose and Fucose) to oligosaccharides (2'-Fucosyllactose), optimized to enhance skin hydration and bioavailability of water, facilitating the synthesis of anti-aging substances like Elastin, Collagen, and Fibrillin, while ensuring minimal allergenicity and high purity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If monosaccharides are used in cosmetic compositions to provide hydration, then hydration capacity is improved, but the ability to stimulate synthesis of anti-aging substances like Elastin is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines monosaccharides and oligosaccharides in a specific weight ratio (70:30 to 90:10) to create a synergistic mixture that provides both hydration capacity and stimulation of anti-aging substance synthesis, resolving the insufficiency of monosaccharides alone
Solution Approach 2:
The patent optimizes the weight ratio parameter between monosaccharides and oligosaccharides to achieve the desired balance between hydration and anti-aging effectiveness, with the ratio being a critical parameter for the composition's performance
2Object-affected harmful factors
If natural carbohydrate components are used to reduce allergenicity, then safety is improved, but long-term anti-aging effectiveness is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a composite carbohydrate mixture combining different types of sugars (monosaccharides and oligosaccharides) to achieve both safety (low allergenicity) and sustained anti-aging effectiveness, leveraging the complementary properties of each component
3Reliability
If chemical derivation components are used to enhance anti-aging action, then effectiveness is improved, but safety and tolerability worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses naturally occurring, biodegradable carbohydrate components (monosaccharides and oligosaccharides) that are safe for skin application, replacing potentially harmful chemical compounds while maintaining or improving anti-aging effectiveness through the optimized mixture ratio
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 specific ratio of monosaccharides to oligosaccharides in the mixture achieves optimal hydration and sustained stimulation of anti-aging substance synthesis, providing effective anti-aging action over time with reduced allergenicity and improved bioavailability of water for cellular metabolic processes.
Implementation Method 1
such components are used both as excipients, in particular emulsifiers and surfactants, and as active principles, in particular as hydrating agents. More in detail, such components of carbohydrate origin are admixed with cosmetic compositions usually for their hydration capacity, i.e. for their capacity to attract and bond water
