Herbal Extract Composition for Sebum Control and Pore Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cosmetic products fail to effectively reduce sebum secretion and pore size while being safe for the skin, with many temporary solutions offering limited long-term results and few natural materials addressing the underlying causes of sebum-related skin issues.
Innovation Solution
A skin preparation composition containing extracts of Cimicifugae rhizoma, Solani nigri herba, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Clematis mandshurica, Acanthopanax senticosus, and Dioscorea japonica, which inhibit sebum production, promote collagen synthesis, and reduce skin pores, thereby addressing sebum control and pore reduction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If cosmetic products use strong active ingredients to control sebum secretion and reduce pore size, then sebum control and pore reduction effects are improved, but skin safety and irritation prevention deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a composite formulation containing multiple herbal extracts (Centella asiatica, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Camellia sinensis, and other plant extracts) in specific combinations. Each extract contributes different bioactive compounds that work synergistically to control sebum secretion and reduce pore size while maintaining skin safety. This composite approach allows the composition to achieve effective sebum control without the harsh side effects of single strong active ingredients.
2Duration of action of moving object
If cosmetic products use temporary pore tightening solutions, then pore appearance is improved temporarily, but long-term pore reduction effect deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs herbal extracts that work preemptively on the root causes of pore enlargement - excessive sebum production and skin elasticity loss. The composition prevents pore enlargement by controlling sebum secretion at the source and maintaining skin elasticity through antioxidant and collagen-boosting ingredients, rather than providing temporary cosmetic tightening. This preliminary action on underlying causes ensures both immediate and long-term pore improvement.
Solution Approach 2:
The composition provides continuous beneficial action through ingredients that accumulate effects over time. The herbal extracts continuously regulate sebum production, maintain skin elasticity, and prevent pore enlargement with regular use. This continuous action transforms temporary pore tightening into sustained pore reduction, addressing both short-term appearance and long-term structural improvement.
3Quantity of substance
If cosmetic products focus on sebum control, then sebum secretion is reduced, but skin moisturization and elasticity may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different functional ingredients to address different aspects of skin health in specific combinations. Centella asiatica extract provides anti-inflammatory and elasticity-improving effects, while Camellia sinensis extract controls sebum secretion. Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract adds antioxidant protection and moisture retention. This localized quality approach ensures that sebum control does not compromise skin elasticity or hydration, as each ingredient targets specific functions without interfering with others.
Data Source
AI summary
A composition for sebum control and pore reduction, and its use for controlling sebum and reducing pore of skin are disclosed. The external-use skin preparation composition contains, as an active ingredient, extracts of one or more medicinal herbs selected from the group consisting of Cimicifugae rhizoma, Solani nigri herba, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Clematis mandshurica, Acanthopanax senticosus, Inulae radix and Dioscorea japonica, and thus it not only can control the production of sebum and alleviate skin troubles, but also provide antioxidant effects, prevent pore enlargement, or prevent occurrence of skin irritation.
