Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cosmetic compositions, particularly for nails and lips, face challenges in maintaining desirable aesthetics such as shine, tack, and wear resistance over time, especially when exposed to various materials like water, oils, or acids.

Innovation Solution

A cosmetic makeup composition is developed, which includes a reaction product of a natural or food-derived oil, such as linseed oil, and a methacrylate or acrylate polymer, combined with a hydrocarbon oil and a non-silicone polymer, where the ratio of the non-silicone polymer to the reaction product is greater than 1, enhancing the composition's performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional cosmetic compositions are used, then initial aesthetic appearance is achieved, but the composition fails to maintain shine, tack, and wear resistance after exposure to water, oils, or acids

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewear resistanceVSAvoidduration of aesthetic appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple materials with complementary properties: reaction products of natural oils and methacrylate/acrylate polymers provide wear resistance and adhesion, hydrocarbon oils contribute to shine and spreadability, and non-silicone polymers enhance tack and film formation. This composite approach creates a formulation that maintains aesthetic properties under various environmental conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes specific parameter ranges to achieve desired performance: the non-silicone polymer concentration is maintained at 0.1-10% to provide adequate tack without excessive stickiness, the reaction product is present at 5-50% to balance wear resistance with aesthetic appearance, and the hydrocarbon oil comprises 70-95% of the total composition to ensure shine and spreadability. These parameter optimizations enable the composition to maintain its properties over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Strength

If the composition uses natural or food-derived oils with polymers, then wear resistance and adhesion are improved, but the formulation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadhesionVSAvoidformulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent selects materials that perform multiple functions simultaneously. The reaction product of natural oil and polymer provides both adhesion to the substrate (nails or lips) and wear resistance. The hydrocarbon oil phase serves as both the continuous medium for product application and a contributor to shine and spreadability. The non-silicone polymer provides both tack for initial adhesion and film-forming properties for durability. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized ingredients.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If the ratio of non-silicone polymer to reaction product is increased (R1>1), then tack and wear resistance are enhanced, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovetackVSAvoidratio control precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent defines a specific ratio range (R1>1, where R1 is the ratio of non-silicone polymer concentration to reaction product concentration) that optimizes tack while remaining practical for manufacturing. The non-silicone polymer is present at 0.1-10% and the reaction product at 5-50%, which naturally supports R1>1. This parameter specification provides clear manufacturing guidance while achieving the desired tack enhancement.
