Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current anti-allergic cosmetics fail to comprehensively improve skin sensitivity and often have complex, costly preparation processes, using multiple raw materials that are not thoroughly safety-tested and can be irritating.
Innovation Solution
A traditional Chinese medicine plant composition comprising Astragalus membranacus, Radix sileris, Rhizoma gastrodiae, Calendula officinalis, and Albizzia julibrissin, with a preparation method involving reflux extraction and vacuum filtration, providing a safe and effective solution for relieving allergies, itching, redness, and swelling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple raw materials are used to achieve comprehensive anti-allergic effects, then the therapeutic function is improved, but the composition complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines five traditional Chinese medicine plant extracts (Astragalus membranaceus, Radix sileris, Rhizoma gastrodiae, Calendula officinalis, and Albizzia julibrissin) into a single integrated composition. Each extract contributes specific anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, or soothing properties, creating a synergistic effect that comprehensively addresses skin sensitivity while maintaining a manageable formulation structure.
2Reliability
If complex extraction and filtration processes are used to ensure purity, then the product quality is improved, but the manufacturing complexity and equipment cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the extraction process into separate stages for each plant material, with each extract being prepared independently through reflux extraction followed by filtration. This segmentation allows for standardized, simplified processing of each component while ensuring overall product quality, avoiding the need for complex integrated extraction systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses ethanol as an intermediary solvent for extraction, which facilitates the extraction of active ingredients from plant materials through a simple reflux process. The ethanol can be easily removed by evaporation, leaving behind the concentrated extract without requiring complex filtration or purification equipment.
3Reliability
If traditional extraction methods are used to ensure effectiveness, then the anti-allergic function is improved, but the preparation time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the extraction parameters including reflux temperature, extraction time, and ethanol concentration to achieve effective extraction within a reasonable time frame. By adjusting these parameters, the patent balances extraction efficiency with processing time, ensuring adequate extraction of active ingredients without excessive time or energy consumption.
