Solution Overview

Problem

Existing anti-aging cosmetic compositions focus on suppressing or rejuvenating aged cells, failing to effectively address skin aging through environmental changes by promoting the growth of young cells.

Innovation Solution

A cosmetic composition containing a cosmetically acceptable compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 stimulates the growth of human-derived young skin cells that are not stained with SA-β-galactosidase, while maintaining the number of aged cells, thereby altering the aged skin environment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional anti-aging compositions suppress or rejuvenate aged cells, then cell aging is addressed, but the mechanism fails to effectively change the skin environment and achieve desired anti-aging effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-aging effectVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of suppressing or rejuvenating aged cells (conventional approach), the invention inverts the strategy by promoting the growth of young cells to change the skin environment. This inversion resolves the contradiction by achieving reliable anti-aging effects through environmental change rather than complex cell-level manipulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the parameter of cell population distribution by increasing the proportion of young cells through selective growth promotion. This parameter change transforms the skin environment from aged to non-aged, resolving the contradiction between achieving anti-aging effects and mechanism simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If the number of young cells is increased by promoting their growth, then the aged skin environment is changed, but the number of aged cells remains unchanged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of young cellsVSAvoidcell population composition
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies local quality by selectively promoting the growth of young cells (non-SA-β-gal stained) while leaving aged cells (SA-β-gal stained) unchanged. This selective approach increases the proportion of young cells in specific regions, changing the skin environment without requiring removal or rejuvenation of aged cells.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If conventional anti-aging mechanisms focus on individual cell rejuvenation, then cell-level aging is addressed, but the overall skin environment remains aged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecell rejuvenation effectVSAvoidaged skin environment
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention uses copying by creating new young cells through selective growth promotion, rather than restoring or copying the function of aged cells. This approach generates fresh cells that can repopulate the skin environment, effectively changing it from aged to non-aged while maintaining simplicity in the mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
