Solution Overview

Problem

Current anti-dandruff shampoos rely on chemically synthesized ingredients, leading to antibiotic resistance, reduced therapeutic effects, and environmental and health concerns, while also not effectively addressing the issue of garlic overproduction and its associated economic challenges.

Innovation Solution

A human body cleaner comprising 1%wt to 60%wt of garlic extract, with a cleaning agent including 10%wt to 20%wt of surfactant and 5%wt to 15%wt of a nutrient solution, produced through a process involving garlic preparation, fermentation, and cryogenic distillation, which can be used as a natural alternative for dandruff treatment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If chemically synthesized antidandruff agents are used, then dandruff treatment effect is improved, but antibiotic resistance occurs and therapeutic effect reduces over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedandruff treatment effectVSAvoidantibiotic resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by replacing synthetic antidandruff agents (ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide) with natural garlic extract. This parameter substitution maintains the antibacterial and antifungal effects needed for dandruff treatment while eliminating the harmful side effects of antibiotic resistance and reduced therapeutic efficacy over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs garlic extract, a natural and renewable resource, as a disposable alternative to persistent synthetic chemicals. Garlic extract provides effective dandruff treatment through its natural sulfur compounds and allicin, which combat Malassezia furfur without creating long-term resistance issues, allowing for sustainable repeated use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

2Reliability

If chemically synthesized antidandruff agents are used, then dandruff treatment effect is improved, but environmental and health harm increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedandruff treatment effectVSAvoidenvironmental and health harm
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent fundamentally changes the chemical safety parameters by substituting synthetic chemicals with natural garlic extract. The garlic-based formulation maintains effective concentrations of antimicrobial compounds (allicin, sulfur compounds) while eliminating harmful synthetic residues, thereby protecting both human health and the environment from chemical pollution and adverse effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the naturally occurring sulfur compounds in garlic, which have strong antimicrobial properties, into a beneficial treatment for dandruff. These same compounds that naturally protect garlic from pathogens are harnessed to combat Malassezia furfur on the scalp, transforming a plant's defensive mechanism into a therapeutic benefit without the harmful side effects of synthetic chemicals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Quantity of substance

If garlic is used in cleaning products, then garlic value increases and farmer income improves, but garlic overproduction problem must be solved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegarlic valueVSAvoidgarlic overproduction
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies garlic extract to multiple cleaning product applications (shampoo, body wash, facial cleanser), transforming garlic from a single-use culinary item into a multi-functional ingredient across various personal care products. This multi-functionality creates diverse market demand for garlic, effectively absorbing excess supply and increasing farmer income through value-added product development.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the economic value parameters of garlic by transitioning it from a low-value agricultural commodity subject to price fluctuations to a high-value natural ingredient in premium cleaning products. This parameter transformation— from bulk agricultural product to specialized cosmetic ingredient—creates price stability and income security for farmers while solving the overproduction problem through demand creation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present invention discloses a human body cleaner and manufacturing method thereof. The human body cleaner comprises 1 %wt ∼ 60 %wt of garlic extract, and 40 %wt ∼ 99 %wt of cleaning agent. The method for manufacturing the human body cleaner comprises the following steps: preparing a plurality of garlics, adding water in a predetermined ratio to a plurality of garlics to obtain a garlic mixture, adding yeast in a predetermined ratio to the garlic mixture and leaving it to stand for a period of time for fermentation to obtain a garlic fermentation broth, performing cryogenic distillation on the garlic fermentation broth to obtain a garlic extract, and adding a cleaning agent in a predetermined ratio to the garlic extract for mixture to obtain the human body cleaner. The present invention uses the herbal human body cleaner made from garlic to clean human body and reduce symptoms of dandruff. Moreover, long-term use of the present invention will not cause either antibiotic resistance or environmental degradation.
