Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a novel ingredient derived from natural resources to improve conditions such as sagging skin, as existing solutions may not effectively address these issues.
Innovation Solution
The use of extracellular vesicles derived from dragon fruit, which exhibit antioxidant capacity and promote collagen and elastin production in fibroblasts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing ingredients are used to improve skin conditions, then safety is maintained, but effectiveness in addressing sagging skin and related conditions is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts extracellular vesicles from dragon fruit as the active ingredient, isolating the specific component responsible for antioxidant activity and fibroblast promotion. This extraction principle resolves the contradiction by taking out the effective element from the whole fruit to create a targeted, effective ingredient that addresses sagging skin conditions better than existing ingredients.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of ingredient source from conventional ingredients to extracellular vesicles derived from dragon fruit. This parameter change introduces a novel ingredient with demonstrated antioxidant capacity and ability to promote collagen and elastin production, thereby improving effectiveness while maintaining safety through natural origin.
2Reliability
If natural resources are used as ingredients, then safety is improved, but the ability to effectively promote collagen and elastin production is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The extracellular vesicles from dragon fruit naturally possess antioxidant capacity and fibroblast-promoting properties without requiring modification. This self-service principle resolves the contradiction by utilizing the inherent capabilities of the natural ingredient to effectively promote collagen and elastin production while maintaining safety through its natural origin.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes extracellular vesicles that contain multiple bioactive components working synergistically. This composite material approach combines antioxidants and fibroblast-promoting factors in a single natural extract, achieving both safety through natural origin and effectiveness in promoting collagen and elastin production.
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
