Clay-Coated Dissolvable Sheet Mask for Clean Skin Removal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing clay-based cosmetic products, such as masks, are messy to remove and require additional cleansing post-application, lacking usability and ease of removal from the skin.
Innovation Solution
A sheet-like cosmetic product comprising a water soluble/dispersible substrate with a coating layer containing clay and a water soluble binder, designed for easy application and removal by dissolving or peeling off after use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If clay-based cosmetic products are applied as masks, then skin care function is provided, but removal becomes messy and requires additional cleansing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical-chemical parameters of the mask base material by making it water-soluble or water-dispersible. This allows the mask to be easily removed by simply rinsing with water, eliminating the messy removal process and need for additional cleansing products while maintaining the skin care benefits of the clay composition.
Solution Approach 2:
The water-soluble mask base material is designed as a single-use disposable product that dissolves or disperses in water during removal. This eliminates the need for complex removal processes and additional cleansing steps, as the mask material itself breaks down harmlessly in water, providing both ease of operation and environmental benefits.
2Reliability
If clay mask dries on skin, then skin care treatment is provided, but dried mud falls down and soils bathroom and clothes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the physical parameters of the mask base material by incorporating water-soluble or water-dispersible polymers. This prevents the mask from forming a hard, crumbling dried layer that falls off, while still allowing it to dry on the skin for effective treatment. The modified material remains intact when dry but dissolves cleanly in water for easy removal without soiling.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If additional cleansing product is used after clay mask, then complete cleaning is achieved, but process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mask composition is designed to be self-cleaning through its water-soluble or water-dispersible properties. The mask base material itself facilitates its own removal by dissolving or dispersing in water during the rinsing process, eliminating the need for separate cleansing products and simplifying the overall skincare routine to just application and water rinsing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the skin care treatment function with the easy removal function into a single integrated product. The water-soluble mask base material combines the benefits of clay-based skin treatment with the convenience of effortless water-based removal, eliminating the need for separate cleansing products and reducing process complexity.
