Collagen Activator Formula for Endogenous Skin Regeneration
Solution Overview
Problem
Current skincare products face challenges in effectively promoting endogenous collagen production, leading to inadequate anti-aging results, with existing methods causing skin irritation, unevenness, and high costs, while exogenous collagen supplementation has low absorption rates and unknown conversion efficacy.
Innovation Solution
A collagen activator formula comprising butylene glycol, 1,2-hexanediol, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, sodium acetylated hyaluronate, semen coiois extract, Bletilla striata extract, and astragalus extract, which is applied topically to increase endogenous collagen I, III, and XVII production, promoting skin health and anti-aging without irritation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If acid substances (alpha hydroxy acids or salicylic acid) are used to regenerate skin, then skin dullness and darkness are improved, but skin irritation, sensitivity, and peeling occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a composite extract from traditional Chinese medicine (containing Paeonia lactiflora, Angelica sinensis, and Ligusticum chuanxiong) as an intermediary substance to achieve skin regeneration without the harmful irritation caused by acid substances. This herbal extract mediates between the need for skin regeneration and the avoidance of irritation, providing a safe alternative that stimulates collagen production and skin renewal without causing sensitivity or peeling.
2Strength
If optoelectronic beauty methods are used to tighten skin and increase elasticity, then skin firmness is improved, but swelling, allergies, and skin damage occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces expensive, potentially harmful optoelectronic beauty treatments with a safe, topical skincare formulation that can be used repeatedly without cumulative damage. The herbal extract formulation provides a gentle, non-invasive alternative that improves skin elasticity through natural collagen stimulation rather than high-energy radiation, avoiding swelling and allergic reactions.
3Shape
If injection beauty is used to improve skin wrinkles and smoothness, then skin smoothness is improved, but localized unevenness, necrosis, and blindness may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a self-service approach where the herbal extract formulation is applied topically and works autonomously to stimulate endogenous collagen production and improve skin smoothness. This eliminates the need for invasive injection procedures that carry risks of necrosis and blindness, allowing the skin to regenerate naturally through the active compounds in the formulation without requiring medical intervention.
4Quantity of substance
If exogenous collagen is supplemented through oral administration or injection, then collagen supply is increased, but absorption rate is low and conversion efficacy is unknown
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses traditional Chinese medicine extracts as intermediaries to stimulate the body's own collagen synthesis pathways rather than relying on direct exogenous collagen supplementation. The herbal compounds act as signaling molecules that trigger endogenous collagen production, bypassing the absorption and conversion limitations of oral or injected collagen, and ensuring efficient utilization of collagen by the skin.

AI summary
A collagen activator, and a preparation method and an application thereof are provided. The collagen activator consists of the following raw materials by mass percentage: 15%-20% of butylene glycol, 1%-4% of 1, 2-hexanediol, 0.5%-2% of dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, 0.1%-2% of sodium acetylated hyaluronate, 0.01%-0.1% of semen coiois extract, 0.01%-0.1% of Bletilla striata extract, 0.001%-0.01% of astragalus extract, and the balance of water. The collagen activator not only can promote an increase of endogenous collagen in skin, but also can promote cell proliferation and cell migration, thereby achieving effects of anti-wrinkle and skin repair. Furthermore, the collagen activator is few in types of the raw materials, is relatively low in cost and relatively high in safety, is used in a smearing mode for convenience, and is suitable for popularization and use.
