Solution Overview

Problem

Current anti-aging cosmetic compositions can only slow down the appearance of skin aging symptoms but fail to effectively prevent and repair the effects of skin aging, with limited effectiveness in addressing natural or externally induced aging.

Innovation Solution

A cosmetic composition containing a compound of a specific general formula that stimulates anti-aging cellular functions by inducing the overexpression of genes promoting anti-aging proteins and inhibiting genes causing aging, thereby enhancing skin barrier function and protein synthesis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If antioxidant compounds such as polyphenols and caffeic acid are used in cosmetic compositions, then the appearance of aging symptoms is slowed down, but the effectiveness is limited and aging effects are not repaired

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of anti-agingVSAvoidrepair capability of aging effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical structure parameters by introducing a specific general formula (I) with particular functional groups and molecular architecture, transforming the activity from mere antioxidant protection to active stimulation of anti-aging cellular functions and gene expression

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the passive antioxidant mechanism (trapping free radicals) with an active biological mechanism (stimulating gene expression and protein synthesis), shifting from chemical protection to cellular activation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If antioxidant compounds are used to prevent oxidative stress, then skin protection is improved, but the compounds do not help repair the effects of aging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoxidative stress protectionVSAvoidrepair of aging symptoms
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes continuous useful action by inducing sustained overexpression of anti-aging genes and proteins, creating a lasting cellular response that both prevents and repairs aging effects rather than providing temporary protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The compound activates the skin's own cellular mechanisms for anti-aging and repair, inducing endogenous protein synthesis and gene expression rather than relying solely on external antioxidant protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The invention relates to the use of a compound of general formula (I), where: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 are identical or different and each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group or an -OR' radical in which R' is a straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated C1-C16 hydrocarbon radical, wherein at least one group from among R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 does not represent a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom; X is a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, a straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated optionally substituted C1-C14 hydrocarbon radical, or an -OR'' radical in which R'' is a straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated optionally substituted C1-C14 hydrocarbon radical; and Z is a covalent bond or a spacer arm, or of one of the salts thereof, in a cosmetic composition for stimulating the cellular anti-aging functions of the skin.
