Solution Overview

Problem

Current anti-stress agents and stress-reducing agents do not provide sufficient or stable efficacy in preventing or suppressing stress at a cellular level, particularly in skin cells, leading to issues like skin degradation and loss of elasticity due to temperature stress.

Innovation Solution

A cosmetic composition containing a plant-derived polyamine-containing extract, derived from sources like soybeans and wheat, is used to provide a temperature stress-reducing, suppressing, and preventing action on skin cells by stabilizing cell functions and membrane permeability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional stress-suppressing agents (protein decomposition products, herbal essences, nucleic acid substances) are used, then some stress-reducing action is provided, but sufficient efficacy and stability are not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficacy stabilityVSAvoidagent composition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical parameter by using polyamine substances (specific compounds with defined molecular structures and amino group configurations) instead of complex natural extracts, achieving more consistent and reliable stress-reducing efficacy through controlled chemical parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite approach by combining multiple polyamine substances (putrescine, spermidine, spermine) in specific proportions to achieve synergistic effects and enhanced stability, forming a composite polyamine preparation that overcomes the limitations of single agents

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If temperature stress occurs, then skin cells are affected, but cell function degradation and loss of elasticity occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemperature stress damageVSAvoidskin elasticity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies polyamine substances in advance to prevent temperature stress damage before it occurs, creating a protective effect that maintains cell function and skin elasticity during thermal exposure by stabilizing cellular structures beforehand

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces polyamine substances as intermediary agents that mediate between temperature stress and skin cells, protecting cellular structures from direct thermal damage through stabilization of proteins and membranes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
