Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing antioxidant compositions for the skin either lack sufficient efficacy when using natural antioxidants or pose safety concerns with artificial antioxidants, necessitating a composition that provides an excellent antioxidant effect without harming human skin.
Innovation Solution
An antioxidant composition comprising Saccharomyces ferment, which includes thioredoxin, combined with α-ketoglutaric acid or niacinamide, to enhance antioxidant activity and stability, thereby effectively eliminating reactive oxygen species and maintaining skin health.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If natural antioxidants are used in skin compositions, then safety for human skin is improved, but antioxidant efficacy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple natural antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, ferulic acid, green tea extract, and Saccharomyces ferment) into a composite formulation. This composite approach allows the composition to achieve enhanced antioxidant efficacy while maintaining safety, as all components are naturally derived and work synergistically together rather than relying on a single ingredient.
2Quantity of substance
If artificial antioxidants are used in skin compositions, then antioxidant efficacy is improved, but safety and processing stability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs natural antioxidants that are readily available from natural sources such as fruits, vegetables, and fermented products. These natural antioxidants serve as effective alternatives to artificial antioxidants, providing sufficient antioxidant protection through their natural properties without the safety concerns associated with synthetic compounds.
3Device complexity
If single antioxidant ingredients are used, then formulation simplicity is improved, but antioxidant effect is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple antioxidant ingredients (vitamin C, vitamin E, ferulic acid, green tea extract, and Saccharomyces ferment) into a single integrated formulation. This combination creates a synergistic effect where the antioxidants work together to provide enhanced protection against oxidative stress, surpassing the effect of any single ingredient used alone.
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 composition demonstrates improved antioxidant efficacy by restoring oxidized antioxidants, reducing skin aging caused by oxidation, and enhancing skin condition through sustained antioxidant activity.
Implementation Method 1
the antioxidants contained in the Saccharomyces ferment shows the antioxidant effect by eliminating reactive oxygen species
Implementation Method 2
restores the activity of the antioxidants oxidized through the compounds with high reduction power
