Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing powders made of natural ingredients are messy due to their loose nature, causing them to fall over wide areas and contaminate surfaces and clothing.

Innovation Solution

Topical compositions that include starch, alcohol, water, and natural emollients, with specific weight percentages, that dry to a powder form, providing a clean application without spillage and maintaining a powdered consistency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If loose powder is sprinkled or dusted on a surface, then the surface can be treated with powder, but the powder falls over a wide area and contaminates surfaces and clothing

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepowder applicationVSAvoidpowder spillage and contamination

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention encapsulates the powder particles within a flexible film or shell structure that allows controlled release. This film acts as a container that prevents premature spillage while enabling targeted application to the desired surface area, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of application and prevention of contamination.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The powder composition is segmented into discrete, controlled-release units or capsules. Each unit contains a specific amount of powder that can be applied precisely to the target surface without the entire powder mass dispersing uncontrollably, thereby eliminating the spillage problem while maintaining application effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If natural ingredient powders are used for hygiene and cosmetic purposes, then the composition is safe and effective, but the loose powder is messy and falls over wide areas

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesafety and efficacy of natural ingredientsVSAvoidmessiness and spillage

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention creates a composite material system where natural powder ingredients are combined with a film-forming matrix or encapsulating material. This composite structure maintains the safety and efficacy benefits of natural ingredients while adding a containment layer that prevents messiness and spillage, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and cleanliness of application.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

Precision deodorant compositions are disclosed herein that are applied as a lotion and quickly dry to a powder. The compositions include a starch, an alcohol as a solvent, water, ethyl macadamiate and/or methylheptylglycerin. The percent wt/wt of water is greater than the percent wt/wt of starch and is greater than the percent wt/wt of alcohol, and the emollient and deodorant agent are natural ingredients. The composition is substantially free of silicones, coconut oil, fractionated coconut oil, and phenoxyethanol.
