Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current solutions for addressing skin aging, including wrinkles and hair loss, are either invasive, expensive, or ineffective for all skin types, and lack a non-invasive alternative that can effectively promote hair regrowth and delay white hair appearance.
Innovation Solution
A cosmetic composition comprising vanillyl-butyl ether and an extract of Voandzeia subterranea seeds, optionally with a nutricellular medium, which enhances skin microcirculation, re-innervation, and cellular metabolism to reduce wrinkles, promote hair growth, and delay hair graying.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If cosmetic surgery or injections are used to address wrinkles and skin aging, then the appearance of wrinkles is improved, but the procedure becomes invasive and expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical surgical interventions (facelift, injections) with a chemical/pharmacological approach using topically applied compounds. The composition contains active ingredients that vasodilate and stimulate cellular metabolism, achieving wrinkle reduction through biochemical mechanisms rather than physical manipulation or injection of fillers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary substances (vasodilatory compounds, metabolic stimulants) that mediate between the external environment and skin cells. These compounds act as intermediaries to deliver nutrients, oxygen, and growth signals to skin cells, enabling regeneration without direct surgical intervention.
2Shape
If current anti-aging creams are used daily for 4-6 weeks, then wrinkle reduction is achieved, but the treatment requires long-term commitment and shows limited effectiveness for all skin types
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the pharmacological parameters of the treatment by using compounds with potent vasodilatory and metabolic-stimulating properties. The composition includes substances that directly affect blood flow and cellular metabolism, creating a more rapid and pronounced effect compared to conventional creams. This allows for shorter treatment duration and greater reliability across different skin types.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a composite formulation combining multiple active ingredients with complementary functions: vasodilators to improve blood flow, metabolic stimulants to enhance cellular activity, and nutrients to support tissue regeneration. This multi-component approach addresses various aspects of skin aging simultaneously, improving overall effectiveness and applicability to different skin types.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the skin is innervated to maintain homeostasis and prevent aging, then epidermal thickness and health are improved, but with age innervation is reduced leading to epidermal thinning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies compounds that proactively stimulate blood flow and cellular metabolism before significant epidermal thinning occurs. By enhancing vascularization and nutrient delivery in advance, the treatment prevents the progressive loss of innervation and epidermal thickness that naturally occurs with aging, rather than attempting to reverse advanced damage.
4Productivity
If hair follicle vascularization is stimulated to promote hair growth, then hair regrowth is improved, but the treatment must address multiple factors including hormones, genetics, and nutrition
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex problem of hair loss into distinct actionable components: vascularization enhancement, metabolic stimulation, and nutrient supply. By addressing these specific segments through targeted compounds applied topically, the treatment simplifies the approach to hair regrowth without needing to simultaneously manage hormonal, genetic, and nutritional factors systemically.
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 composition significantly increases skin thickness, collagen density, and hair follicle oxygenation, leading to improved skin appearance, reduced wrinkle depth, and enhanced hair growth, providing a non-invasive and effective anti-aging solution.
Implementation Method 1
Vanillyl-butyl ether, which acts as a vasodilator and increases skin microcirculation
Implementation Method 2
The composition stimulates cellular metabolism and keratinocyte proliferation
Implementation Method 3
VEGF (Vascular-Endothelial Growth Factor) or vascularization factor acts directly on the dermal papillae and stimulates the formation of the vascular network located near the hair follicle

AI summary
The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition intended to regenerate the epidermis and the hair follicle to combat skin aging and slow down hair loss and depigmentation, comprising vanillyl-butyl ether and an extract of Voandzeia subterranea seeds, and optionally a nutricellular medium to reinforce the effect of the two active substances.
