Anti-aging Emulsion with Convallaria and Centella
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cosmetic and dermatological treatments fail to effectively reduce visible signs of aging and environmental impacts on the skin, particularly lacking an emulsion containing Convallaria, amphiphilic materials like lecithin, Centella, Myrrh, Aloe, and mineral clay in effective amounts.
Innovation Solution
A topical anti-aging moisturizing emulsion combining Convallaria, lecithin, Centella asiatica, Myrrh, Aloe vera, and mineral clay, along with a milk formulation, to hydrate and fortify the skin, calm inflammation, and stimulate collagen growth.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional cosmetic treatments are used, then basic moisturization is provided, but visible signs of aging and environmental impacts are not effectively reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple active ingredients (Convallaria extract, lecithin, Centella asiatica, Myrrh, Aloe vera, mineral clay, and milk formulation) into a single emulsion formulation. This merging of multiple anti-aging and skin-repair components into one product achieves comprehensive anti-aging effects that conventional single-ingredient treatments cannot provide, directly addressing the inadequacy of existing cosmetic treatments.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a composite emulsion formulation integrating diverse materials with complementary functions: Convallaria for cell regeneration, lecithin for barrier repair, Centella asiatica for collagen stimulation, Myrrh for anti-inflammatory effects, Aloe vera for hydration, mineral clay for purification, and milk formulation for nourishment. This composite approach enables the product to simultaneously address multiple aspects of skin aging and environmental damage.
2Reliability
If a simple emulsion formulation is used, then ease of manufacture is maintained, but the emulsion lacks the specific combination of ingredients needed to effectively reduce signs of aging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent specifies precise concentration ranges for each ingredient (Convallaria extract: 0.1-10%, lecithin: 1-20%, Centella asiatica: 0.1-5%, Myrrh: 0.1-3%, Aloe vera: 1-10%, mineral clay: 0.1-5%, milk formulation: 1-10%). This segmentation of the formulation into defined compositional ranges enables systematic manufacturing while ensuring the presence of effective concentrations of each active ingredient for anti-aging efficacy.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention optimizes the emulsion's physical and chemical parameters including pH (4.5-6.5), viscosity (50-500 cP), and water content (60-80%) to ensure both effectiveness and manufacturability. These parameter specifications balance the complex ingredient requirements with practical manufacturing constraints, allowing the formulation to achieve anti-aging effects while remaining producible through standard cosmetic manufacturing processes.
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 emulsion significantly reduces visible signs of aging and environmental impacts, providing a luminous and porcelain-like skin effect across various skin types and ages with daily application, enhancing skin elasticity and circulation.
Implementation Method 1
stable oil-in-glycerin emulsion containing at least one oil, at least one emulsifier
Implementation Method 2
at least one amphiphilic material, such as a lecithin
Data Source
AI summary
The disclosure is directed towards a highly emollient, plant-based moisturizer which noticeably reduces the visible signs of aging and effects of environmental impact. With one daily application, the formula reaches deep into the cellular structures to hydrate skin, delivering a luminous, porcelain effect on all skin types and ages. In an embodiment, the emulsion is provided in the form of a skin cream effective for reducing the visible signs of aging and effects of environmental impact. The skin cream formulation includes a mixture of at least one member of the genus of flowering plants known as Convallaria, an amphiphilic material, such as lecithin, Centella (Centella asiatica or C. Asiatica), an essential oil such as Myrrh; a product derived from aloe, a whole or reconstituted milk formulation, and a mineral clay, in amounts effective to reduce such signs of aging and environmental impact.
