Goniochromatic Cosmetic Composition for Optical Volumizing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cosmetic compositions fail to effectively create a volumizing effect on the skin, lips, and other body parts, as existing techniques require skill and multiple products, and previous solutions using goniochromatic pigments and interference pigments do not substantially modify the perceived volume.
Innovation Solution
A cosmetic composition combining goniochromatic coloring agents and reflective particles in a physiologically acceptable medium, which creates a goniochromatic colored background and visible highlight points when applied, providing a three-dimensional or 'pulping' effect by altering color perception with angle changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If traditional light and dark shade application is used to create volumizing effect, then the perception of volume is improved, but the device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to requiring multiple compositions and high skill level
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple pigment types (goniochromatic pigments and reflective particles) into a single cosmetic composition that simultaneously provides both the light and dark shade effects needed for volumizing. This merging eliminates the need to apply multiple separate compositions while maintaining the three-dimensional visual effect through the synergistic interaction of the pigment types.
Solution Approach 2:
The single composition serves multiple functions: the goniochromatic pigments provide angle-dependent color changes for contouring, while the reflective particles create highlight points that simulate light reflection on three-dimensional surfaces. Together they achieve both contour definition and volumizing effects that traditionally required separate products.
2Shape
If traditional light and dark shade application is used to create volumizing effect, then the perception of volume is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to requiring high skill level
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the functions of light and dark shade application into a single composition with unified texture and finish, the patent eliminates the technical difficulty of coordinating multiple products. The combined formulation ensures consistent application characteristics and visual harmony, reducing the skill level required while maintaining effective volumizing.
3Illumination intensity
If goniochromatic pigments are used to change color with angle, then the color effect is improved, but the volumizing effect deteriorates as it does not substantially modify the perception of volume
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a composite pigment system combining goniochromatic pigments with reflective particles. The reflective particles (such as metal oxides or coated particles) provide strong light reflection that simulates the appearance of light hitting three-dimensional surfaces, while the goniochromatic pigments provide the angle-dependent color shifts. This composite approach maintains both the optical color effects and the volumizing appearance.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The composition achieves a noticeable optical volumizing effect by creating a goniochromatic colored background with visible highlight points, enhancing the perceived volume of the treated area without requiring multiple products or high skill levels.
Implementation Method 1
at least one goniochromatic coloring agent capable of creating a goniochromatic colored background
Implementation Method 2
reflective particles capable of creating highlight points that are visible to the naked eye, when the composition is applied to form a layer on a support and illuminated
