Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge is to enhance the transdermal absorption and skin regeneration efficacy of Sphingomonas olei culture extract, as it faces limitations in penetrating the human skin barrier when applied directly.

Innovation Solution

A liposome composition is developed, encapsulating the Sphingomonas olei culture extract with glycerin, hydrogenated lecithin, cetearyl olivate, and sorbitan olivate, to improve delivery and absorption into the skin.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the culture extract of Sphingomonas olei is applied directly to the skin, then the skin regeneration efficacy is maintained, but the transdermal absorption is limited due to the physical protective barrier of the human skin

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin regeneration efficacyVSAvoidtransdermal absorption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses liposomes as an intermediary carrier system to bridge the gap between the culture extract and the skin. The liposomes encapsulate the culture extract and facilitate its penetration through the skin barrier, acting as a mediator that enables both delivery and absorption without compromising the efficacy of the active ingredients.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The culture extract of Sphingomonas olei is nested inside the liposome structure. The liposome acts as a container that encapsulates the culture extract, allowing the active components to be protected and delivered systematically to the skin layers, thereby overcoming the physical barrier limitation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Quantity of substance

If the culture extract of Sphingomonas olei is encapsulated in liposomes, then the transdermal absorption is enhanced, but the formulation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransdermal absorptionVSAvoidformulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes specific parameters of the liposome formulation, including the ratio of phospholipids to cholesterol (1:0.5 to 1:2), the particle size (50-200 nm), and the composition of the culture extract (60-90% of total volume). By carefully controlling these parameters, the formulation achieves enhanced absorption while managing the complexity through standardized ratios and ranges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the phospholipid membrane of liposomes is used, then the skin-friendly safety is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin-friendly safetyVSAvoidmanufacturing precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent specifies precise parameter ranges for the phospholipid composition, including the ratio of phospholipids to cholesterol (1:0.5 to 1:2) and the particle size (50-200 nm). These controlled parameters ensure the liposomes maintain skin-friendly properties while providing reproducible manufacturing results, balancing safety with manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
