Oil-Gelled Perfume Composition for Alcohol-Free Fragrance Persistence
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing liquid spray perfumes are inconvenient to use, evaporate quickly, disperse in the air, and require frequent application due to their alcohol-based formulation, lacking targeted application and causing skin dryness.
Innovation Solution
A perfume gel composition using a dextrin-based or amino acid-based oil gelling agent to create a stable, alcohol-free oil gel that allows precise application and prolonged fragrance persistence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If liquid spray type perfume is used, then wide area coverage is achieved, but air dispersion causes loss and harm to others
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state parameter of the perfume from liquid spray to gel form. This parameter change allows the perfume to be applied as a localized gel composition rather than dispersing as a spray, achieving area coverage through direct application while preventing air dispersion and fragrance loss.
2Ease of operation
If alcohol-based liquid spray is used, then easy application is achieved, but rapid evaporation causes short fragrance persistence
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameter by replacing alcohol-based liquid formulation with gel-based formulation. This parameter change eliminates rapid evaporation while maintaining ease of application, thereby extending fragrance persistence without sacrificing convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a composite gel composition that combines fragrance ingredients with gelating agents. This composite material structure provides both the ease of application characteristic of liquids and the prolonged persistence characteristic of non-volatile formulations.
3Device complexity
If liquid spray container is used, then simple container design is achieved, but limited container choices and flow down issue cause inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state parameter from liquid to gel, which fundamentally alters the application characteristics. The gel form eliminates flow-down issues while allowing for diverse container designs beyond traditional spray bottles, including tubes, jars, and applicator-based containers.
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 oil gel formulation ensures targeted application, reduces air dispersion, extends fragrance longevity, and provides skin moisturization without alcohol, offering a soft and lasting scent experience.
Implementation Method 1
A perfume composition prepared and used in a gel form... since it is in the form of a gel, a perfume composition that may be applied to a desired area
Implementation Method 2
a composition comprising a dextrin-based oil gelling agent and/or an amino acid-based oil gelling agent as the oil gelling agent

AI summary
Disclosed herein are a perfume gel composition and a preparation method therefor wherein the perfume composition contains an oil alone or a combination of oils and a dextrin-based oil gelling agent alone or in combination with an amino acid-based oil gelling agent, and employs a minimal amount of alcohol (ethanol) or no alcohols. The perfume gel composition using the oil gelling agent complements the disadvantages of the existing liquid type or liquid spray type perfume to improve the fragrance persistence and is advantageous in terms of ease of use and economy without dripping over the desired skin area or being lost. Furthermore, the composition can be housed in a variety of containers including pump-type, tube-type, regular lotion-type, or cream-type containers.
