Solution Overview

Problem

Cleansing tablets incorporating amino acid surfactants face challenges with poor dissolubility, powder shedding, and difficulty in thickening, leading to poor flexibility and inconsistent performance.

Innovation Solution

A cleansing and care composition using a combination of amino acid surfactants, plant polysaccharides, and other surfactants to form a three-dimensional network structure, enhancing viscosity and flexibility, with plant polysaccharides acting as thickeners and film-forming agents.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If amino acid surfactants are used as main surfactants, then mildness and environmental friendliness are improved, but thickening capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovemildnessVSAvoidthickening capability

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines amino acid surfactants with plant polysaccharides to create a composite formulation. The plant polysaccharides serve as thickening agents that compensate for the poor thickening capability of amino acid surfactants, while the amino acid surfactants provide mildness. This composite approach allows the formulation to achieve both mildness and adequate viscosity without compromising either property.

2Object-affected harmful factors

If amino acid surfactants are used as main surfactants, then environmental friendliness is improved, but tablet flexibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveenvironmental friendlinessVSAvoidtablet flexibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The formulation uses plant polysaccharides as film-forming agents in combination with amino acid surfactants. The plant polysaccharides create a flexible film structure that maintains tablet flexibility, while the amino acid surfactants provide environmental friendliness. This composite material system resolves the contradiction by allowing both environmental friendliness and tablet flexibility to coexist.

3Adaptability or versatility

If amino acid surfactants are used as main surfactants, then multifunctionality is improved, but dissolubility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovemultifunctionalityVSAvoiddissolubility

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs plant polysaccharides as co-formants alongside amino acid surfactants. The plant polysaccharides enhance the dissolubility of the tablet formulation, addressing the poor dissolubility issue of amino acid surfactants, while the amino acid surfactants contribute multifunctionality including cleansing, moisturizing, and skin-conditioning properties. The composite system achieves both good dissolubility and multifunctionality.
