Solution Overview

Problem

Existing herbal cosmetics face issues with odor, composition stability, and user satisfaction due to limitations in enhancing skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles, particularly when increasing the mixing ratio of herbal extracts.

Innovation Solution

A cosmetic composition incorporating glycoprotein plant extracts of Angelica gigas root, Cornus officinalis fruit, Thymus vulgaris, Ganoderma lucidum, and Asparagus cochinchinensis root, along with specific amino acids, to enhance skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles, while addressing odor and stability concerns.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the mixing ratio of herbal extracts is increased to enhance skin improvement effects, then the skin elasticity enhancement and wrinkle reduction effects are improved, but odor problems and composition stability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin improvement effectVSAvoidodor
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and isolates specific active components (glycoproteins, saponins, flavonoids) from the complex herbal extracts rather than using the complete extract mixture. This extraction process removes unwanted components that cause odor while retaining the beneficial skin-improving substances, thereby resolving the contradiction between effectiveness and odor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the chemical composition parameters of the herbal extracts by controlling the extraction conditions (solvent type, temperature, time, pH) to optimize the ratio of beneficial to harmful components. By adjusting these parameters, the composition achieves high skin improvement efficacy while minimizing odor generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the mixing ratio of herbal extracts is increased to enhance skin improvement effects, then the skin elasticity enhancement and wrinkle reduction effects are improved, but composition stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin improvement effectVSAvoidcomposition stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and isolates specific stable active components (glycoproteins, saponins, flavonoids) from the complex herbal extracts rather than using the complete extract mixture. This extraction process removes unstable components that cause composition degradation while retaining the beneficial skin-improving substances, thereby resolving the contradiction between effectiveness and stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite formulation combining multiple extracted components (glycoproteins, saponins, flavonoids) with specific ratios and supports them with stabilizing agents. This composite approach maintains composition stability while achieving enhanced skin improvement effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability
