Solution Overview

Problem

Current cosmetic compositions are inadequate in effectively addressing skin aging signs such as loss of firmness, fine lines, wrinkles, and photoaging, as they often fail to target multiple metabolic pathways involved in skin aging.

Innovation Solution

The use of Manilkara multinervis extracts in cosmetic compositions, which act as elastase inhibitors and stimulators of collagen production, decelerating non-enzymatic glycation and improving skin firmness and smoothness, thereby addressing multiple pathways of skin aging.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional cosmetic compositions are used, then basic skin care functions are provided, but they fail to effectively address multiple metabolic pathways involved in skin aging

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveeffectiveness against skin agingVSAvoidability to target multiple metabolic pathways

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The cosmetic composition is designed to perform multiple anti-aging functions simultaneously by combining Manilkara multinervis extract with other active ingredients. The composition targets multiple metabolic pathways including elastase inhibition, collagen production stimulation, and glycation deceleration, making it a multi-functional anti-aging solution rather than a single-function product

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If Manilkara multinervis extracts are added to provide multi-pathway anti-aging action, then effectiveness against skin aging is improved, but composition complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveeffectiveness against skin agingVSAvoidcosmetic composition complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines Manilkara multinervis extract with other complementary active ingredients (such as vitamins, antioxidants, or peptides) in a single cosmetic composition. This merging of multiple functional components into one unified product achieves synergistic anti-aging effects while simplifying the consumer's routine, as they need to apply only one product to access multiple anti-aging mechanisms

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)
