Makeup Removing Gel Composition for Leak-Resistant Travel Packaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing makeup removal products are inconvenient, potentially harmful to the skin, and lack multi-functional benefits such as cleaning, moisturizing, and exfoliating, while also being prone to leakage and having high production costs.
Innovation Solution
A makeup removing gel composition using microcrystalline cellulose as scrub particles, combined with sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sodium lauroyl glutamate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium hyaluronate, and other ingredients, which is packaged in a water-soluble bag for easy use and transport, providing a gentle and effective makeup removal experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If makeup removing oil is used, then makeup removal effectiveness is improved, but it is easy to drip and stain clothes due to low viscosity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state parameter of the makeup removing product from liquid to solid gel form. The gel structure provides sufficient viscosity to prevent dripping and staining while maintaining effective makeup removal capability through its composition of surfactants and emollients.
2Reliability
If makeup removing water or oil is used, then makeup removal is achieved, but they are prone to leakage and cannot be carried on airplanes if oversized
Solution Approach 1:
The invention transforms the product from liquid form to solid gel form, which eliminates leakage issues and reduces the required container size. The gel formulation allows the product to be packaged in compact, travel-friendly containers that can be carried on airplanes without violating size restrictions.
3Ease of operation
If makeup removing lotion or cream is used, then portability is improved, but they contain very few moisturizing and emollient ingredients leading to dryness and peeling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a composite gel formulation that combines the portability benefits of lotion/cream formats with adequate moisturizing and emollient ingredients. The gel base provides structure and portability while incorporated emollients and moisturizing agents prevent skin dryness and peeling, balancing both requirements.
4Ease of operation
If existing makeup removing products are used without pads, then ease of operation is improved, but it is difficult to wipe off most makeup
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical friction method (using pads to rub makeup off) with a chemical dissolution mechanism. The gel formulation contains surfactants and emollients that chemically break down and dissolve makeup, allowing it to be wiped off easily without requiring abrasive mechanical friction, thus maintaining both simplicity and effectiveness.
5Reliability
If repeated cleaning with makeup removing pads is used, then stubborn makeup is removed, but it causes skin redness, pain, peeling, and other phenomena
Solution Approach 1:
The invention substitutes mechanical friction with chemical dissolution. The gel's surfactant and emollient composition chemically breaks down makeup, including stubborn types, allowing complete removal without repeated mechanical rubbing. This eliminates skin irritation, redness, and damage caused by excessive friction while maintaining thorough makeup removal.
6Stability of the object's composition
If existing makeup removing products are filled in containers and bottles, then product stability is improved, but once unsealed they are prone to volatilization and bacterial contamination
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state from liquid to solid gel, which reduces volatilization of ingredients after unsealing. The gel structure also provides better resistance to bacterial contamination compared to liquid formulations, while maintaining product stability. This physical state change addresses both stability and post-unsealing hygiene concerns.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The gel offers a comfortable scrub texture, effective makeup removal, moisturizing benefits, and a pleasant user experience, while being environmentally friendly and cost-effective, with stable composition and pH levels suitable for sensitive skin.
Implementation Method 1
By applying an appropriate amount of the product on the face and massaging the face, the product will quickly melt and spread under body temperature
