Nidogen Skin Composition for Basement Membrane Strengthening
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing compositions fail to effectively improve skin condition, treat skin damage, and maintain epidermal stemness, particularly due to the lack of effective ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier and promote epidermal stem cell function.
Innovation Solution
A composition comprising nidogen as an active ingredient, which can be used in cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations, or as a medium for culturing skin cells, to enhance the adhesion and proliferation of keratinocytes, strengthen the basement membrane, and promote collagen production, thereby improving skin condition and maintaining epidermal stemness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing compositions are used, then skin condition improvement is limited, but the lack of effective ingredients prevents adequate skin barrier strengthening and epidermal stemness maintenance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and isolates nidogen as a specific active ingredient from complex biological systems. By focusing on this single key component rather than using complex mixture formulations, the invention achieves reliable skin barrier strengthening and epidermal stemness maintenance while simplifying the composition formulation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent optimizes the concentration and formulation parameters of nidogen in the composition. By carefully controlling the amount of nidogen and its delivery system parameters, the invention achieves effective skin improvement while maintaining a simple and manageable formulation complexity.
2Productivity
If nidogen is added to enhance keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, then skin regeneration is improved, but the complexity of maintaining proper concentration and stability increases
Solution Approach 1:
Nidogen serves multiple functions simultaneously in the composition: it promotes keratinocyte proliferation, enhances differentiation, strengthens the basement membrane, and maintains epidermal stemness. This multi-functionality of a single ingredient avoids the need for multiple separate components, thereby maintaining formulation simplicity while achieving high productivity in skin regeneration.
3Reliability
If conventional ingredients are used, then formulation simplicity is maintained, but effectiveness in treating skin damage and maintaining epidermal stemness is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
Nidogen acts as an intermediary molecule that mediates between keratinocytes and the basement membrane. This intermediary function enables effective epidermal stemness maintenance and skin damage treatment through a single well-defined substance, avoiding the need for high concentrations of multiple active ingredients.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a composition for skin improvement, skin damage treatment, or maintenance of epidermal stemness, the composition comprising nidogen as an active ingredient. The composition comprising nidogen as an active ingredient according to an aspect exhibits effects on the epidermis and the dermis through basement membrane strengthening such as strengthening of binding between the basement membrane and the extracellular matrix so as to improve the function of the basement membrane, and proliferating of epidermal progenitor cells and maintaining of stemness of epidermal stem cells so as to improve keratin turnover and promote collagen production and binding, and thus the present invention can be utilized for skin improvement including skin barrier strengthening, suppression or prevention of hyperpigmentation, moisturization, skin elasticity, anti-aging, or tissue regeneration through wound healing.
