Hemp Flower Oil Macerate Pickering Emulsion for Stable Skin Application
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cosmetic compositions based on cannabis oils face challenges due to their viscous nature, making it difficult to develop formulations suitable for skin application, and historical strategies focusing on isolated cannabinoids like THC and CBD overlook the potential synergistic effects of other compounds like terpenes and flavonoids.
Innovation Solution
A composition comprising an oily macerate of hemp flowers and a Pickering emulsion with an aqueous and vegetable oil phase, stabilized by an organomodified phyllosilicate, which includes cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, providing a stable, non-irritating, and non-allergenic solution for skin application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If cannabis oil is used in cosmetic compositions, then soothing and relaxing effects are achieved, but the viscous nature of the oil makes it difficult to formulate for skin application
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the physical state and rheological properties of cannabis oil by converting it into an oily macerate through maceration processes, and further into microencapsulated forms. These parameter changes reduce viscosity and improve spreadability while preserving the active compounds responsible for soothing effects, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining therapeutic efficacy and achieving proper formulability for skin application
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates composite formulations by combining cannabis-derived macerates with other cosmetic ingredients, emollients, and active compounds. This composite approach allows the viscous cannabis oil to be integrated into balanced formulations that achieve both the desired soothing effect and appropriate rheological properties for easy application, effectively resolving the formulability issue while maintaining therapeutic benefits
2Measurement precision
If only isolated cannabinoids like THC and CBD are used, then specific therapeutic effects are targeted, but the synergistic effects of other compounds like terpenes and flavonoids are overlooked
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple chemical compounds from the cannabis plant into a single macerate formulation, combining cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other phytochemicals that would normally be separated. This merging preserves the entourage effect and synergistic interactions between compounds, thereby enhancing overall efficacy while maintaining targeted therapeutic benefits through the combined action of all plant constituents
3Ease of operation
If a stable emulsion is created to improve skin application, then formulability is enhanced, but the complexity of the composition increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs macerates as intermediary substances that facilitate the integration of cannabis oil into cosmetic formulations. These macerates act as mediators between the viscous cannabis oil and the aqueous or oleous phases of the formulation, enabling stable emulsion creation without requiring complex emulsification systems. The macerate structure naturally provides stability while simplifying the overall composition architecture
