Solution Overview

Problem

The skin barrier's functionality is compromised with aging or by external factors, leading to water loss and wrinkles, with existing technologies lacking effective solutions for strengthening the skin barrier and addressing anti-aging effectively.

Innovation Solution

A composition comprising a novel Streptococcus infantis strain, its lysate, or culture product, which enhances skin barrier strength, moisturization, and elasticity, and provides anti-aging benefits by increasing collagen expression and improving skin barrier function.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional skincare compositions are used, then basic moisturization is provided, but skin barrier strengthening and anti-aging effects are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin barrier functionVSAvoidanti-aging efficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite probiotic system combining multiple strains (Streptococcus salivarius K12, Streptococcus thermophilus K13, and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis K14) to create synergistic effects that simultaneously strengthen skin barrier function and provide anti-aging benefits, overcoming the limitations of single-strain or conventional compositions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If the skin barrier is compromised by aging or external factors, then water loss increases and wrinkles form, but existing technologies fail to effectively strengthen the skin barrier

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin barrier integrityVSAvoidwater loss and wrinkle formation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The probiotic composition enables the skin to strengthen its own barrier function by introducing beneficial microorganisms that colonize the skin and actively produce substances (such as bacteriocins and metabolic products) that reinforce barrier integrity, reduce water loss, and prevent wrinkle formation through self-regulating biological mechanisms rather than passive topical coating

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
