Sugar Cane Polyphenol Extracts for Cost-Effective Skin Treatment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cosmetic products and procedures for treating skin conditions such as aging, pigmentation, wound healing, psoriasis, and acne are inadequate and often costly, with potential dangers and limitations in self-administration.
Innovation Solution
Topical or injection administration of sugar cane extracts containing specific ranges of polyphenols to address skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, oily skin, pruritic skin, wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, age spots, skin pigmentation, acne, wound healing, and hair loss, with formulations ranging from 0.05 wt% to 50 wt% of the extract and 10 to 500 CE mg/g of polyphenols.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing cosmetic products and procedures are used to treat skin conditions, then skin conditions can be treated, but the treatments are costly and have potential dangers and limitations in self-administration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses sugar cane extract, a inexpensive natural material, as the active ingredient in topical formulations. This replaces expensive conventional cosmetic products and procedures with a cost-effective natural alternative that can be safely self-administered without the dangers associated with traditional treatments
2Ease of operation
If conventional cosmetic procedures are used, then skin conditions can be treated, but they are not suitable for self-administration and increase treatment costs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates topical formulations containing sugar cane extract that can be easily self-applied to the skin. The natural extract formulation eliminates the need for professional administration required by conventional procedures like Botox, chemical peels, and laser treatments, enabling safe self-service treatment at home
3Reliability
If sugar cane extracts with polyphenols are applied topically, then skin inflammation is reduced and skin appearance is improved, but the extract concentration must be precisely controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent specifies optimal concentration ranges for sugar cane extract (0.05-50 wt%) and polyphenols (10-500 CE mg/g) to achieve effective skin treatment. By defining these parameter ranges, the patent balances treatment efficacy with manufacturing feasibility, allowing effective treatment while providing clear guidance for concentration control during formulation
