Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cosmetic oils struggle to provide a light feeling, excellent water repellency, and good pigment dispersibility while maintaining persistence and storage stability, often resulting in issues like stickiness, separation, and poor uniformity.

Innovation Solution

A liquid oily composition combining a 2-(1,3,3-trimethylbutyl)-5,7,7-trimethyloctyl ester oil with a specific hydroxyl value and a miscible silicone oil in a 1:1 mass ratio, enhancing water repellency and pigment dispersibility, and improving cosmetic film persistence and storage stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If oils of low viscosity are used, then a light feeling and easy application are achieved, but the persistence of the cosmetic film becomes inferior

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of applicationVSAvoidpersistence of cosmetic film
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite oily composition combining silicone oil (providing persistence and water repellency) with ester oil (providing light feeling and spreadability). This composite approach allows the formulation to achieve both easy application and durable film persistence that neither component could achieve alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Duration of action of stationary object

If oils of high viscosity are used, then persistence of the cosmetic film is improved, but the oils are difficult to spread and increase feelings of stickiness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersistence of cosmetic filmVSAvoidspreadability
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines high-viscosity silicone oil (for persistence) with low-viscosity ester oil (for spreadability), creating a balanced composition that achieves both durable film formation and easy application without excessive stickiness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes the viscosity parameters of the oily composition by selecting specific silicone oil and ester oil types and adjusting their ratio, thereby achieving the desired balance between spreadability and persistence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Duration of action of stationary object

If silicone compounds are used to achieve light feeling and good persistence, then water repellency is improved, but compatibility with other cosmetic raw materials and pigment dispersibility become poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersistence of cosmetic filmVSAvoidstorage stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a composite system where ester oil serves as a compatibility-enhancing component that improves the interaction between silicone oil and other cosmetic ingredients, preventing separation and aggregation while maintaining the water repellency and persistence benefits of silicone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The ester oil acts as an intermediary substance that mediates between the silicone oil and other cosmetic components, improving overall compatibility and pigment dispersibility while preserving the functional benefits of silicone compounds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Duration of action of stationary object

If film-forming silicone resin is used to create coating film, then cosmetic persistence and stability are improved, but compatibility with blend components requires careful control and pigment dispersibility is not entirely satisfactory

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersistence of cosmetic filmVSAvoidformulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent formulates a composite oily composition that integrates film-forming silicone resin with compatible ester oils and auxiliary agents, creating a unified system that simplifies formulation while maintaining persistence and improving pigment dispersibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
