Moisturizing Composition Eliminates Corrugated Metal Effect
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cosmetic compositions that improve skin hydration often cause an unsightly 'corrugated metal' effect, characterized by skin folds and wrinkles, and fail to provide a pleasant, silky texture and spreading behavior, particularly in fragile areas like the eye contour.
Innovation Solution
A cosmetic composition comprising glyceryl caprylate, 1,3-propanediol, and phytic acid or its salts, which reduces dehydration streaks and eliminates or minimizes the 'corrugated metal' effect while providing a pleasant, silky feel and suitable texture for skin application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If moisturizing cosmetic compositions are applied to improve skin hydration, then skin hydration is improved, but the 'corrugated metal' effect appears causing unsightly folds and wrinkles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the chemical composition parameters by incorporating specific ingredients (glycerin, vegetable oils, plant extracts) at optimized concentrations to achieve hydration without the corrugated metal effect. The formulation adjusts the balance between humectants and emollients to prevent skin folding while maintaining moisture.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a composite formulation combining multiple natural ingredients (glycerin, vegetable oils, plant extracts) that work synergistically to provide hydration while preventing the unwanted corrugated effect. This composite approach allows the composition to deliver moisture without causing skin folds.
2Quantity of substance
If moisturizing cosmetic compositions are applied to improve skin hydration, then skin hydration is improved, but the texture and spreading behavior are unsatisfactory
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the viscosity and texture parameters by selecting specific vegetable oils and plant extracts that provide a pleasant, silky feel while maintaining good spreading behavior. The formulation adjusts the molecular weight and composition of ingredients to achieve optimal application characteristics.
3Quantity of substance
If moisturizing cosmetic compositions are applied to improve skin hydration, then skin hydration is improved, but the skin feel is unpleasant
Solution Approach 1:
The invention modifies the sensory properties by incorporating plant extracts and natural oils that provide a pleasant, non-greasy skin feel. The formulation adjusts the composition to eliminate unpleasant sensations while maintaining effective hydration.
