Segmented Skin Care Composition with Booster Actives
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current personalized skin care systems often provide limited customization and stability in their formulations, relying on universal serum bases or single active ingredients that may not effectively address individual skin conditions.
Innovation Solution
A skin care composition comprising a base composition, such as an aqueous alcohol or emulsion, combined with multiple booster compositions (exfoliating, whitening, and anti-aging agents of varying grades) that are mixed to create a customized product tailored to specific skin conditions, using a diagnostic system to determine the appropriate concentrations and compatibility of ingredients.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a universal serum base is used in personalized skin care systems, then the product can be manufactured and distributed efficiently, but the formulation lacks stability and effectiveness for individual skin conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The skin care composition is divided into separate base composition and booster composition components. The base composition provides a stable platform for manufacturing and distribution, while the booster compositions contain specific active ingredients that can be selectively added to address individual skin conditions. This segmentation allows efficient production of the base product while enabling customized stabilization for different consumer needs through selective booster addition.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple active ingredients are combined to address individual skin conditions, then the product becomes more effective and customized, but the formulation complexity and difficulty of manufacturing increase
Solution Approach 1:
The composition separates active ingredients into distinct booster compositions that can be independently manufactured and then combined with the base composition. This allows each booster to be optimized for specific skin conditions (exfoliation, whitening, anti-aging) while maintaining simple, standardized manufacturing processes for each component separately.
Solution Approach 2:
The base composition serves as a universal platform that can combine with various booster compositions to address multiple different skin conditions. This multi-functional approach allows a single base formulation to support customized products for exfoliation, whitening, anti-aging, or combinations thereof, simplifying the overall manufacturing system while maintaining high adaptability.
3Reliability
If high concentrations of active ingredients are used to maximize efficacy, then the product becomes more effective for treating skin conditions, but the formulation stability decreases and adverse effects increase
Solution Approach 1:
Active ingredients are concentrated in separate booster compositions rather than being distributed throughout the entire product. This allows high concentrations of specific actives to be formulated in stable, controlled environments within each booster, which then gets added to the base composition in precise, lower amounts that maintain overall formulation stability while delivering effective treatment concentrations at the application site.
Solution Approach 2:
The base composition acts as an intermediary vehicle that delivers the concentrated active ingredients from the boosters to the skin. It provides a stable matrix that can accommodate the high-concentration actives without compromising overall formulation stability, while ensuring proper delivery and release of the active ingredients for maximum efficacy.

AI summary
A customized skin care composition. The skin care composition includes a base composition comprising one of an aqueous alcohol composition or an aqueous emulsion. The skin care composition further includes at least two booster compositions selected from the group consisting of a first grade exfoliating agent; a second grade exfoliating agent, the second grade exfoliating agent providing greater exfoliating than the first grade exfoliating agent; a first grade whitening agent; a second grade whitening agent, the second grade whitening agent providing greater whitening than the first grade whitening agent; a first grade anti-aging agent; and a second grade anti-aging agent, the second grade anti-aging agent providing greater anti-aging effects than the first grade anti-aging agent. The base composition and the at least two booster compositions have been mixed to form a composition that is stable and has efficacious concentrations of active ingredients corresponding to skin conditions of a consumer.
