Phytochemical Color Cosmetics for Controlled Topical Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing administration methods for cannabinoids and terpenes, such as smoking and food-based infusions, are limited in their ease of use, dose control, and continuous delivery, making it difficult for consumers to benefit from their therapeutic and cosmetic effects.
Innovation Solution
Development of phytochemical infused cosmetics, including color cosmetics, that contain cannabinoids and terpenes, allowing for topical application and controlled, time-release delivery of these compounds to the skin.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional administration methods (smoking, vaping, food-based infusions) are used for cannabinoids and terpenes, then the compounds can be delivered to the consumer, but the ease of use, dose control, and continuous delivery are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses cosmetic formulations (creams, lotions, gels, sprays) as intermediary carriers to deliver cannabinoids and terpenes to the consumer. These cosmetic products serve as the medium that simplifies administration by combining the therapeutic compounds with familiar, easy-to-apply cosmetic bases, eliminating the need for complex smoking or vaping devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical administration systems (smoking devices, vaporizers, infusion equipment) with simple topical application methods. The cosmetic formulations are applied directly to the skin through familiar cosmetic routines, substituting complex mechanical delivery systems with straightforward manual application that requires no special equipment.
2Measurement precision
If traditional administration methods are used for cannabinoids and terpenes, then the compounds can be delivered to the consumer, but controlled dose delivery and continuous delivery are difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs parameter changes in the formulation of cosmetic products to control dose delivery. By adjusting the concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes in the cosmetic formulations, the patent enables precise dose control while maintaining ease of use. The formulations can be designed with specific active ingredient percentages that provide controlled, measurable doses with each application.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent achieves continuous delivery through multiple applications of the cosmetic formulations throughout the day. The formulations are designed to provide sustained release of cannabinoids and terpenes with each application, creating continuous therapeutic effect. This continuous action is achieved through convenient, repeatable application routines that integrate into daily self-care practices.
3Ease of operation
If phytochemical infused cosmetics are developed for topical application, then convenient and controlled delivery is achieved, but the formulation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by developing cosmetic formulations that simultaneously provide cosmetic benefits (moisturizing, protecting, enhancing appearance) and therapeutic effects (cannabinoid and terpene delivery). This universal approach allows the same product to serve dual purposes, simplifying manufacturing by combining functions rather than creating separate products, and improving ease of use by integrating therapy into routine cosmetic application.
