Gel-Filled Cosmetic Mask With Skeleton For Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cosmetic masks lack elasticity, stability, and effective delivery of active ingredients due to structural weaknesses, rapid drying, and skin irritation, failing to provide long-lasting cosmetic benefits and proper fit on complex facial contours.
Innovation Solution
A structured gel-filled cosmetic mask with a fixing skeleton, gel filling band, and free-flow gel layer in an integrally formed structure, utilizing a concave cavity to house and extend gel, enhancing elasticity and stability, and allowing uniform distribution of active ingredients.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If masks are made of non-woven or cloth, silk, fiber materials, then they are simple to manufacture and use, but they lack elasticity, dry quickly causing active ingredients to volatilize, and cannot provide long-lasting cosmetic effects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a composite structure combining a net-shaped skeleton (providing elasticity and fit) with a gel layer containing active ingredients (providing sustained cosmetic effect). This composite design allows the mask to maintain flexibility while delivering prolonged moisturizing and cosmetic benefits through the gel's slow release of active ingredients.
Solution Approach 2:
The net-shaped skeleton acts as a flexible support structure that conforms to facial contours, providing elasticity and stretchability. This flexible framework prevents the mask from drying out quickly while maintaining contact with the skin, thereby extending the duration of cosmetic effects.
2Quantity of substance
If jelly masks are used, then they contain active ingredients in gel form, but they have poor elasticity, slide on skin, tear easily when stretched, and dry quickly after air contact
Solution Approach 1:
The mask is divided into two functional segments: a net-shaped skeleton providing structural strength, elasticity, and anti-slip properties, and a gel layer containing active ingredients. This segmentation allows each component to excel at its specific function while working together to prevent tearing and sliding.
Solution Approach 2:
The net-shaped skeleton serves as a flexible reinforcing structure that prevents the gel layer from tearing when stretched or sliding on skin. The skeleton's elastic properties allow the mask to conform to facial contours without breaking, maintaining both strength and flexibility.
3Power
If cataplasm masks are used, then they provide intensive treatment, but they cause skin irritation and allergies, are insoluble in water, and cannot conform to three-dimensional facial contours
Solution Approach 1:
The net-shaped skeleton creates a porous, breathable structure that allows skin to breathe and reduces the risk of irritation and allergies. The open mesh structure prevents the mask from forming wrinkles and upwarping, allowing it to conform smoothly to three-dimensional facial contours while maintaining intensive treatment through the gel layer.
4Quantity of substance
If masks contain large amounts of water initially, then they provide immediate hydration, but they cause skin to absorb excessive water and then lose moisture quickly, making skin flabby
Solution Approach 1:
The gel layer is formulated with specific viscosity (150,000-500,000 mPa·s) and density (0.5-1.5 g/cm³) parameters to control water release rate. These parameter changes ensure gradual moisture delivery to skin, preventing both excessive initial absorption and rapid subsequent drying, thereby maintaining stable moisture balance and avoiding flabby skin.

Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides improved stability, elasticity, and prolonged cosmetic effects by maintaining active ingredient delivery and conforming to facial contours, addressing issues of structural weakness and skin irritation in existing masks.
Implementation Method 1
a gel filling band and a free-flow gel layer in an integrally formed structure, wherein the fixing skeleton comprises a cavity of a concave structure, the cavity is filled with a premade filling material to form the gel filling band, and the gel in the gel filling band extends outward to form the free-flow gel layer
