Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional beauty devices for generating microcurrents are expensive and inconvenient, limiting their application in delivering beneficial skin effects such as wound healing, skin tone improvement, and skin elasticity without direct pressure application.
Innovation Solution
A liquid crystal cosmetic composition is developed by combining a liquid crystal emulsion with an electrolyte, using purified water, glycerin, hydrogenated lecithin, cetearyl olivate, sodium citrate, citric acid, and betaine in the aqueous phase, and shea butter, cetearyl alcohol, stearic acid, and polyglyceryl-6 stearate in the oil phase, to increase electrical conductivity and form microcurrents without direct pressure application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional beauty devices are used to generate microcurrents, then microcurrent generation capability is achieved, but device cost and portability are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical beauty devices with electronic components (battery, circuit board, LED) with a chemical system (liquid crystal composition with electrolytes). The chemical composition generates electrical energy through electrochemical reactions, substituting the need for external power sources and mechanical devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid crystal composition contains embedded electrolytes (sodium citrate, citric acid, betaine) that enable the system to generate its own electrical energy through electrochemical reactions. The composition serves as both the cosmetic product and the power source, eliminating dependency on external devices.
2Ease of manufacture
If direct pressure application is used to deliver active ingredients, then delivery mechanism is simple, but skin absorption and effectiveness are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the energy state of the delivery system by incorporating electrochemical energy generation. The liquid crystal composition generates electrical energy that enhances skin penetration and absorption of active ingredients, transforming passive application into active energy-driven delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The composition combines liquid crystal emulsion with multiple electrolytes (sodium citrate, citric acid, betaine) to create a composite system that provides both cosmetic functionality and electrochemical energy generation for enhanced ingredient delivery.
