Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current topical CBD formulations often require refrigeration to maintain a soft, spreadable consistency, limiting their application and convenience for treating skin issues like pain and stiffness, and they may leave residues on the skin.

Innovation Solution

A composition of paraffin wax, mineral oil, aloe vera, and CBD, which remains solid and non-tacky at room temperature, allowing for easy handling and application by melting it to coat body parts, solidifying, and then peeling off for therapeutic benefits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current topical CBD formulations are used, then CBD therapeutic benefits are provided, but the formulations require refrigeration to maintain soft consistency and may leave residues on the skin

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveCBD therapeutic benefitsVSAvoidApplication convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical state parameter of the CBD formulation from liquid/cream (requiring refrigeration) to solid paraffin wax form. This parameter change allows the formulation to remain stable at room temperature, eliminating the need for refrigeration while maintaining CBD therapeutic benefits. The solid wax form also prevents residue buildup on skin compared to traditional cream formulations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes phase transition of paraffin wax from solid to liquid during application. The wax is applied in solid form, melts on contact with body heat, and then solidifies again to form a non-tacky coating that peels off cleanly. This phase transition mechanism enables convenient application without refrigeration while maintaining therapeutic CBD delivery.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #36Phase transitions

2Stability of the object's composition

If paraffin wax is used as a thickening agent in CBD formulations, then the formulation achieves solid consistency at room temperature, but the formulation may be tacky or sticky

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveSolid consistency at room temperatureVSAvoidTackiness or stickiness

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a composite material system combining paraffin wax with specific ratios of mineral oil (5-20%), aloe vera (0.1-5%), and CBD isolate (0.01-1%). This composite formulation maintains the solidifying properties of paraffin wax while the mineral oil and aloe vera components prevent tackiness and stickiness, achieving a non-tacky solid wax composition suitable for comfortable skin application.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If traditional cream or ointment formulations are used, then CBD can be applied topically, but the formulations leave residues on the skin and require refrigeration

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveTopical CBD applicationVSAvoidResidue left on skin

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a disposable peel-off wax coating approach. The paraffin wax formulation is applied, allows brief contact time for CBD absorption, then peels off as a solidified coating, leaving minimal to no residue on the skin. This eliminates the need for continuous residue-forming cream or ointment applications and removes the need for refrigeration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)
