Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional makeup cosmetic compositions using pearl pigments with composite powders larger than 20 μm result in unnatural glossiness and whitening effects, as they enhance blue light reflection, leading to an unnatural skin tone appearance.

Innovation Solution

A makeup cosmetic composition combining two plate-like powders with specific coating layer thicknesses (20-70 nm and 74-104 nm) and refractive indices, optimized to provide uniform reflectance across visible light wavelengths, enhancing skin tone brightness while minimizing blue light emphasis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If composite powder with diameter of 20 μm or higher is used to impart shininess and glossiness, then glossiness is improved, but unnatural glossiness appears and skin becomes oily over time

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveglossinessVSAvoidunnatural glossiness and oily skin
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the particle size parameter from conventional 20 μm or higher to 1 μm or less, fundamentally altering the optical properties of the composite powder to achieve natural glossiness without the harmful effects of larger particles

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different coating layer thicknesses to different wavelength ranges: a first coating layer (20-70 nm) for blue-based wavelengths (400-500 nm) and a second coating layer (74-104 nm) for other visible wavelengths, creating localized optical properties that achieve uniform reflectance across the spectrum

Inventive Principle:

2Illumination intensity

If composite powder with diameter of 20 μm or higher is used to implement whitening effect, then whitening effect is enhanced, but natural whitening effect is deteriorated due to interference effect of light

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewhitening effectVSAvoidunnatural whitening effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the particle size parameter from conventional 20 μm or higher to 1 μm or less, eliminating the interference effect that causes unnatural whitening while maintaining the light-reflecting properties for natural whitening

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different coating layer thicknesses to different wavelength ranges to control reflectance locally: a first coating layer (20-70 nm) for blue-based wavelengths (400-500 nm) and a second coating layer (74-104 nm) for other visible wavelengths, achieving uniform natural whitening

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Illumination intensity

If pearl pigment coated with titanium oxide is used to implement white reflected light, then white reflected light is achieved, but high reflectance in blue light wavelength (400-500 nm) causes unnatural whitening effect

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different coating layer thicknesses to different wavelength ranges: a first coating layer (20-70 nm) for blue-based wavelengths (400-500 nm) to reduce excessive reflectance, and a second coating layer (74-104 nm) for other visible wavelengths, creating localized optical properties that achieve uniform reflectance across the spectrum

Inventive Principle:
