Dual-Function Lotion for Simultaneous Skin Hydration and Sanitization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing skin lotions only moisturize the skin and do not sanitize, requiring separate use of skin sanitizers that can dry out the skin and be painful on open wounds.
Innovation Solution
A lotion compound comprising purified water, propylene glycerol, glycerin, stearic acid, cetyl alcohol, disodium EDTA, glyceryl stearate, aloe, barbadensis leaf juice, triethanolamine, white petroleum, dimethicone, propylparaben, methylparaben, allantoin, carbomer, and iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, which simultaneously moisturizes and sanitizes the skin by acting as a dual-functioning product.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a skin sanitizer is used to sanitize the skin, then germ protection is improved, but skin dryness increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines skin sanitizer and skin lotion into a single dual-functioning composition. The formulation integrates sanitizing agents (iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, propylparaben, methylparaben, diazolidinyl urea) with moisturizing ingredients (glycerin, propylene glycerol, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, allantoin, white petroleum, dimethicone) to achieve simultaneous germ protection and skin hydration in one product application.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a universal skin care product that performs multiple functions: sanitizing germs, moisturizing dry skin, and protecting skin barriers. This multi-functional composition eliminates the need for separate sanitizer and lotion applications, providing comprehensive skin care in a single formulation.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a one-dimensional moisturizer is used to hydrate the skin, then skin hydration is improved, but germ protection is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges moisturizing and sanitizing functions into one composition by combining humectants (glycerin, propylene glycerol), emollients (white petroleum, dimethicone), and sanitizing agents (iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, parabens, diazolidinyl urea) in a single formulation that delivers both hydration and germ protection simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transforms a traditional single-function moisturizer into a multi-functional product that provides hydration, germ protection, and skin barrier support, making it suitable for use in environments where both moisturization and sanitation are needed.
3Reliability
If traditional skin sanitizers are applied to open wounds, then germ protection is improved, but pain and irritation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines gentle moisturizing ingredients (aloe barbadensis leaf juice, allantoin, glycerin, white petroleum) with sanitizing agents to create a formulation that is effective against germs but gentle enough for use on compromised skin. The moisturizing base soothes and protects open wounds while the sanitizing components provide germ protection without excessive irritation.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention modifies the formulation parameters of traditional sanitizers by incorporating soothing and protective ingredients that reduce irritation. The pH balance, ingredient concentrations, and formulation viscosity are optimized to minimize pain and irritation while maintaining effective germ protection, making the product suitable for use on open wounds.
