Solution Overview

Problem

Existing skin care products often have unsatisfactory efficacy in reducing age-related skin folds and wrinkles, and may have inadequate skin tolerance, making them unsuitable for individuals with sensitive or allergic skin.

Innovation Solution

A skin care composition comprising collagen, Helichrysum extract or oil, Nigella extract or oil, and Carduoideae extract or oil, which can be combined with additional components like beeswax, avocado oil, rosehip oil, and coconut oil, to enhance skin care benefits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional skin care products containing vitamin C, retinol, coenzyme Q10, hyaluronic acid, caviar extract, or gold particles are used, then wrinkle reduction is claimed, but skin compatibility is insufficient and allergic reactions may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewrinkle reduction efficacyVSAvoidskin tolerance and allergic reactions
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines four natural plant extracts (Helichrysum, Nigella, Carduoideae, and Thistles) with collagen to create a composite formulation that achieves wrinkle reduction while maintaining high skin compatibility. This composite approach replaces conventional synthetic ingredients with naturally derived components that work synergistically to address both efficacy and tolerability concerns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent specifies precise concentration ranges for each ingredient (collagen: 0.1-10%, Helichrysum: 1-20%, Nigella: 1-15%, Carduoideae: 1-20%, Thistles: 1-20%) to optimize both wrinkle reduction effectiveness and skin compatibility. By carefully controlling these parameters, the formulation achieves therapeutic effects while minimizing allergic potential.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If conventional skin care products are used, then some wrinkle reduction effect is achieved, but the efficacy is unsatisfactory and skin tolerance is inadequate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin toleranceVSAvoidwrinkle reduction efficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a multi-component natural extract composite that simultaneously improves skin tolerance through gentle plant-derived ingredients and maintains wrinkle reduction efficacy through synergistic combinations of collagen and multiple plant extracts containing antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and skin-repairing substances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

Collagen serves as a key intermediary component that bridges skin tolerance and wrinkle reduction efficacy. As a natural protein that mimics skin's structural components, collagen provides high compatibility while directly addressing wrinkle formation, and works synergistically with plant extracts to enhance both tolerability and anti-aging effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If synthetic or animal-derived ingredients are used in skin care products, then wrinkle reduction is claimed, but skin compatibility is poor for sensitive skin types

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewrinkle reduction effectVSAvoidsuitability for sensitive and allergic skin
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from synthetic/animal ingredients to plant-derived alternatives by changing the source material parameters. Each ingredient is selected from plant sources (Helichrysum, Nigella, Carduoideae, Thistles) known for hypoallergenic properties, while maintaining concentrations optimized for wrinkle reduction and suitability for sensitive skin types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
