Snail Slime Patch for Rosacea Skin Regeneration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current treatments for rosacea are largely palliative and often take months to show effects, with erythema and telangiectasia remaining challenging to manage, and there is a need for a more effective, complementary therapy that can regenerate skin and reduce inflammation.
Innovation Solution
A cosmetic formulation based on snail slime from Helix aspersa Müller, containing allantoin, glycolic acid, elastin, and natural antibiotics, is developed into a patch or bandage form for direct application, which accelerates skin healing, reduces inflammation, and targets erythema and telangiectasia.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional treatments for rosacea are used, then they provide palliative relief, but they take months to show effects and do not regenerate skin
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses a composite formulation combining snail slime filtrate (containing allantoin, glycolic acid, elastin, and natural antibiotics) with chamomile extract and propolis. This composite approach synergistically combines multiple active ingredients that work together to reduce inflammation, promote skin regeneration, and eliminate erythema and telangiectasia more rapidly than conventional single-ingredient treatments
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the chemical composition parameters by introducing specific bioactive compounds from snail slime (allantoin for cell proliferation, glycolic acid for exfoliation, elastin for skin elasticity) combined with anti-inflammatory compounds from chamomile and propolis. This parameter change enables the treatment to achieve both rapid anti-inflammatory effects and long-term skin regeneration
2Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional treatments are used, then they manage symptoms palliatively, but they fail to eliminate erythema and telangiectasia effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The snail slime filtrate acts as an intermediary substance that delivers multiple active ingredients (allantoin, glycolic acid, elastin, antibiotics) to the affected skin areas. These intermediaries work synergistically to penetrate the skin, reduce inflammation at the source, and promote regeneration of blood vessels and skin tissue, thereby effectively eliminating both erythema and telangiectasia
Solution Approach 2:
The invention converts the inflammatory response that causes harm in rosacea into a beneficial regenerative process. By using natural antibiotics and anti-inflammatory compounds from plant extracts combined with snail slime components, the treatment transforms the chronic inflammatory state into controlled regeneration, eliminating erythema and telangiectasia while rebuilding healthy skin structure

AI summary
The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition consisting of snail slime Helix aspersa muller (Cryptomphalus aspersus) (20% to 50%), camomile extract (1-4%), propolis 1l-4%), and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and/or additives for forming a formulation of low, intermediate or high viscosity (10 to 1000 Pa-s). Said composition is in the form of a lotion, soap, cream or gel, which is embedded in a gauze-type fabric in the form of a plaster that can be applied to lesions caused by the different types of rosacea. The composition can also contain natural extracts such as marigold extract, honey and vegetable oils. The invention also relates to the method for producing the composition and to the use thereof for preparing a medicament or device for preventing, treating or curing lesions caused by rosacea, on the skin of the face or the body.
