Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing skin care compositions containing purine substances do not efficiently utilize their advantageous effects for skin aging prevention and improvement.
Innovation Solution
A composition combining sugar, specifically monosaccharides or disaccharides with at least one unit of glucose, and adenosine phosphate or its salts, where the sugar is present in a proportion of 0.001 to 0.3 parts by weight per part by weight of the purine substance, to enhance intracellular ATP generation and promote skin health.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If purine substances are used in external use compositions for skin aging prevention, then skin cell metabolism is activated and cell turnover is promoted, but the efficiency of utilizing the advantageous effects of purine substances is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the concentration parameter of purine substances in the composition to optimize their effectiveness. By specifying a particular concentration range of purine substances, the patent achieves more efficient utilization of their skin-benefiting effects while maintaining safety and effectiveness for preventing skin aging.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite composition by combining purine substances with other skin care ingredients. This composite formulation enhances the overall effectiveness of purine substances by synergistically combining multiple active components that work together to prevent skin aging, thereby improving the efficiency of purine substance utilization.
2Productivity
If the composition promotes ATP generation in cells to accelerate cell turnover, then skin becomes smoother and more resilient, but the water retentivity and softness of skin may be compromised during the acceleration process
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions into a single composition by combining ingredients that promote ATP generation and cell turnover with ingredients that maintain skin hydration. This combination ensures that accelerated cell turnover does not compromise water retentivity, as both functions are simultaneously addressed in the formulation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adjusts the concentration parameters of active ingredients to balance cell turnover acceleration with skin hydration maintenance. By optimizing the concentrations of purine substances and hydrating agents, the patent achieves effective cell renewal while preserving skin water retentivity and softness.
