Hemp Derivative Pickering Emulsion for Skin Application
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cosmetic compositions using hemp oils face challenges due to their viscous nature, making them unsuitable for effective skin application, and conventional clays like kaolin do not provide synergistic benefits when combined with hemp derivatives.
Innovation Solution
A composition comprising a hemp flower oily macerate and a Pickering emulsion stabilized by an organomodified phyllosilicate, which includes an aqueous phase, vegetable oil phase, and a specific range of hemp derivatives such as cannabinoids and flavonoids, providing a synergistic effect for soothing and relaxing properties.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If hemp oils are used in cosmetic compositions, then soothing and relaxing benefits are provided, but the viscous nature makes them unsuitable for effective skin application
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state and viscosity parameters of hemp oils by incorporating them into a Pickering emulsion system. The emulsion transforms the viscous oil into a spreadable formulation with optimized rheological properties, enabling effective skin application while preserving the active ingredients' soothing and relaxing benefits
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite cosmetic formulation by combining hemp oils with a Pickering emulsion system consisting of aqueous phase, surfactants, and stabilizing agents. This composite material integrates the therapeutic properties of hemp oils with the application-friendly characteristics of emulsions, resolving the contradiction between efficacy and applicability
2Productivity
If conventional clays like kaolin are combined with hemp derivatives, then cosmetic compositions are formed, but no synergistic benefits are achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a Pickering emulsion system as an intermediary carrier that enhances the interaction between hemp derivatives and skin. The emulsion's unique structure with solid particle stabilization creates a synergistic effect that amplifies the soothing and relaxing properties beyond what hemp derivatives alone can achieve, replacing conventional clay-based formulations
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 exhibits enhanced lipoxygenase enzymatic activity and IL-6 inhibition, offering significant soothing, relaxing, and anti-stress benefits to the skin, outperforming individual components and conventional clays.
Implementation Method 1
a O/W Pickering emulsion (i.e. an oil dispersed in water), said hemp derivative being chosen from hemp flower oily macerates, cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, and the O/W Pickering emulsion containing an aqueous phase, a vegetable oil phase and an organomodified phyllosilicate
