Ferment Powder and Lignin Skin Barrier for PM Blocking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Air pollution, particularly from particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), poses significant health risks to human skin, causing premature ageing, wrinkles, and inflammation, and existing personal care compositions are inadequate in effectively blocking these pollutants.
Innovation Solution
A personal care composition comprising ferment powder with an average diameter of 0.1 to 100 microns, preferably Saccharomyces ferment, and lignin compound, such as sodium lignosulfonate, synergistically enhances pollutant blocking efficacy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional personal care compositions are used, then the formulation is simple, but the pollutant blocking efficacy is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines ferment powder and lignin compound into a single personal care composition to achieve synergistic pollutant blocking effects. The ferment powder (0.1-100 microns) and lignin compound work together to form a more effective barrier against particulate matter than either ingredient alone, resolving the contradiction by merging multiple functional components into one formulation.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a composite material system consisting of ferment powder and lignin compound in specific proportions. This composite approach creates a formulation with enhanced pollutant blocking capabilities compared to single-ingredient compositions, addressing the need for greater reliability without excessive complexity.
2Reliability
If ferment powder and lignin compound are combined, then pollutant blocking efficacy is enhanced, but the formulation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent specifies particular parameters for the ferment powder (average diameter 0.1-100 microns) and defines specific proportion ranges for the composite formulation. By optimizing these parameters, the invention achieves maximum synergistic effect while controlling formulation complexity through defined specifications rather than open-ended combinations.
3Ease of manufacture
If larger ferment powder particles are used, then the formulation is easier to manufacture, but the pollutant blocking capability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent defines an optimal particle size range of 0.1-100 microns for ferment powder, balancing manufacturing feasibility with pollutant blocking effectiveness. This parameter specification allows for practical manufacturing while maintaining sufficient surface area and distribution for effective pollutant barrier formation, resolving the contradiction between ease of manufacture and blocking capability.
