Solution Overview

Problem

Dendrobium candidum extract alone does not provide a long-lasting moisturizing effect, which is a commercial and therapeutic challenge in cosmetic applications.

Innovation Solution

A facial mask composition combining Dendrobium candidum extract with sodium hyaluronate, Crocus sativus extract, Cereus grandiflorus extract, Centaurea cyanus extract, and Scutellaria baicalensis root extract, along with additional components like humectants and antioxidants, to enhance and prolong moisturizing and antioxidant benefits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If Dendrobium candidum extract is used alone in cosmetic products, then it provides initial moisturizing effect, but the moisturizing effect cannot be maintained for a long time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveduration of moisturizing effectVSAvoidstability of moisturizing effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines Dendrobium candidum extract with sodium hyaluronate and other plant extracts to create a composite cosmetic composition. This composite approach leverages the synergistic effects of multiple active ingredients: Dendrobium candidum provides antioxidant and nourishing properties, while sodium hyaluronate provides sustained hydration through its water-binding capabilities. The combination resolves the contradiction by maintaining moisturizing effects over extended periods through the complementary mechanisms of different ingredients working together.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges Dendrobium candidum extract with other functional ingredients including Crocus sativus extract, Cereus grandiflorus extract, Centaurea cyanus extract, and Scutellaria baicalensis root extract into a single cosmetic formulation. This merging of multiple extracts with different functional properties creates a synergistic composition that provides both immediate and long-lasting moisturizing effects, thereby extending the duration of action while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Duration of action of moving object

If multiple plant extracts are combined in the composition, then the moisturizing duration is extended, but the formulation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveduration of moisturizing effectVSAvoidformulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs multiple plant extracts that serve multiple functions within the same formulation. For example, the extracts not only provide moisturizing effects but also exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-nourishing properties. This multi-functionality allows the formulation to achieve extended moisturizing duration without proportionally increasing complexity, as each ingredient contributes to multiple beneficial effects simultaneously.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes the concentration ranges of each ingredient to achieve effective results while maintaining formulation simplicity. By carefully controlling the parameters such as the amount of Dendrobium candidum extract (0.01-10%), sodium hyaluronate (0.1-5%), and other extracts (0.01-5% each), the formulation achieves long-lasting moisturizing effects without requiring overly complex preparation processes or unstable ingredient combinations.

Inventive Principle:
