Composition for skin protection comprising kaempferol saccharides compounds
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cosmetic ingredients for skin protection often have limited effectiveness and can cause side effects, failing to effectively promote skin regeneration and regulate the skin cornification cycle while being safe for the human body.
Innovation Solution
A composition containing kaempferol saccharide compounds, particularly tetrasaccharides extracted from Camellia japonica seed cake, which inhibits matrix metalloprotease-1 (MMP-1) and 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) to improve skin wrinkles, promote skin regeneration, and regulate the skin cornification cycle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing cosmetic ingredients are used for skin protection, then skin regeneration promotion is achieved, but side effects on skin occur and safety is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical structure parameter by using kaempferol saccharide compounds (flavonoid glycosides) instead of conventional cosmetic ingredients. These natural compounds from Camellia japonica seed cake exhibit different biological properties that promote skin regeneration while maintaining safety and reducing side effects compared to existing ingredients.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes waste resources (Camellia japonica seed cake discarded after oil extraction) as the source of active ingredients. This approach not only reduces cost but also provides a sustainable source of safe, natural compounds that can be used for skin protection without the safety concerns associated with conventional ingredients.
2Productivity
If strong effect ingredients are used to promote skin regeneration, then skin regeneration is improved, but side effects on skin increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs kaempferol saccharide compounds with specific molecular structures (flavonoid glycosides) that naturally balance efficacy and safety. These compounds achieve effective skin regeneration promotion through their unique chemical properties while inherently maintaining lower toxicity and side effect profiles compared to stronger conventional ingredients.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts a waste product (Camellia japonica seed cake) into a beneficial source of active ingredients. The natural compounds extracted from this waste material provide effective skin regeneration benefits while being inherently safer than synthetic or stronger conventional ingredients, thus converting a disposal problem into a valuable resource.
3Reliability
If conventional cosmetic ingredients are used, then some skin protection effect is achieved, but effectiveness is limited and cannot regulate skin cornification cycle
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses kaempferol saccharide compounds that possess multiple biological activities due to their specific chemical structure. These compounds can simultaneously promote skin regeneration, protect against damage, and regulate skin cornification cycle, providing versatile skin protection that conventional ingredients cannot achieve alone.
Solution Approach 2:
The kaempferol saccharide compounds extracted from Camellia japonica seed cake exhibit multiple skin-beneficial functions including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-aging, and cornification regulation activities. This multi-functionality allows a single ingredient to address multiple skin concerns and regulate various skin functions, surpassing the limited capabilities of conventional cosmetic ingredients.
