Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cosmetic compositions fail to effectively stimulate collagen synthesis in skin cells, leading to issues such as laxity, lines, and wrinkles associated with aging skin.

Innovation Solution

A topical composition comprising extracts from Hibiscus and Moringaceae genera, combined with a complex of oligopeptides, Laminaria extract, and whey protein, synergistically enhances collagen synthesis in skin cells.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing cosmetic compositions are used, then skin care is provided, but collagen synthesis stimulation is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecollagen synthesis stimulation efficacyVSAvoidcollagen production rate

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines extracts from Hibiscus genus and Moringaceae genus to create a composite cosmetic composition. This composite approach leverages the synergistic effects of different plant extracts, where Hibiscus extract provides certain beneficial compounds and Moringaceae extract provides complementary compounds, together achieving enhanced collagen synthesis stimulation that neither extract could achieve alone.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If collagen synthesis is not sufficiently stimulated, then skin aging signs (laxity, lines, wrinkles) persist, but using ineffective compositions continues

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveskin aging signsVSAvoidanti-aging efficacy

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent addresses the harmful effects of collagen deficiency (skin laxity, lines, wrinkles) by using plant extracts that naturally stimulate collagen synthesis. The Hibiscus and Moringaceae extracts contain bioactive compounds that convert the harmful state of collagen degradation into a beneficial state of collagen regeneration, thereby eliminating skin aging signs.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Device complexity

If single plant extracts are used, then simple formulations are maintained, but collagen synthesis stimulation is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveformulation complexityVSAvoidcollagen synthesis stimulation

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges extracts from two different plant genera (Hibiscus and Moringaceae) into a single cosmetic composition. This combination strategy integrates the beneficial properties of both plant extracts, creating a synergistic effect that significantly enhances collagen synthesis stimulation compared to using either extract alone, while maintaining a relatively simple two-component formulation structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)
