Fermented Hair Growth Composition Reducing Scalp Irritation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current hair growth promotion and loss prevention methods often cause skin irritation and are not effective in addressing the increasing issue of hair loss due to industrialization and socio-cultural stress, particularly in middle-aged men and elderly individuals.
Innovation Solution
A composition combining a Lactobacillus-fermented product, citrus peel extract, Glycine max embryo extract, and Ziziphus jujube Mill extract, formulated into various hair care products, which acts as a natural active ingredient to promote hair growth, reduce hair loss, and minimize skin irritation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional chemical substances are used for hair growth promotion, then hair growth effect is improved, but skin irritation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by replacing conventional chemical hair growth agents with fermented natural extracts containing specific metabolites (lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, γ-aminobutyric acid). This parameter change maintains hair growth promotion effectiveness while reducing skin irritation through the gentle nature of fermented components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a composite formulation combining multiple fermented extract components (Lactobacillus ferment, Citrus unshiu peel extract, Glycine max embryo extract, Nelumbo nucifera extract, Ziziphus jujube extract) working synergistically. This composite approach provides comprehensive hair growth promotion while the natural fermented basis minimizes skin irritation compared to single chemical agents.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If natural ingredients are used to reduce skin irritation, then skin safety is improved, but hair growth effectiveness decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the concentration parameters of fermented extract components to achieve effective hair growth promotion. The fermented metabolites (lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, γ-aminobutyric acid) are present at optimized levels that stimulate hair follicles effectively while maintaining the skin-friendly properties of natural ingredients.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a synergistic composite of five different fermented natural extracts, where each component contributes specific beneficial compounds. This composite formulation enhances overall hair growth effectiveness while maintaining low skin irritation, as the multiple natural components work together to provide comprehensive hair care benefits.
3Productivity
If multiple natural extracts are combined to enhance effectiveness, then hair growth promotion is improved, but formulation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges five different fermented natural extracts into a single integrated composition. By combining Lactobacillus ferment, Citrus unshiu peel extract, Glycine max embryo extract, Nelumbo nucifera extract, and Ziziphus jujube extract, the formulation achieves enhanced hair growth promotion through synergistic effects while presenting as a unified cosmetic product.
Solution Approach 2:
The fermented extract composition serves multiple functions simultaneously: it promotes hair growth, reduces skin irritation, provides antimicrobial benefits, and offers anti-inflammatory effects. This multi-functionality is achieved through the diverse bioactive compounds present in the combined fermented extracts, allowing a single formulation to address multiple hair and skin concerns.
