Wet Wipes with Vitex Agnus-Castus Extract for Sensitive Mucosa
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing intimate care products for women often fail to effectively address the specific needs of sensitive and aging vaginal mucous membranes, particularly during menopause, where skin becomes thinner, drier, and more sensitive, and hormonal fluctuations lead to irritation and infection risks.
Innovation Solution
The development of wet wipes containing an extract from monk's pepper (Vitex agnus-castus) combined with Opuntia cactus extract and CM-glucan, which are used for cleaning the external mucous membranes, providing soothing, moisturizing, and immune-stimulating effects, while maintaining a healthy vaginal pH.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional intimate care products are used, then basic cleaning function is provided, but they fail to effectively address the specific needs of sensitive and aging vaginal mucous membranes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by formulating the wet wipe with specific active ingredients (monk's pepper extract, Opuntia cactus extract, CM-glucan) that target the specific needs of sensitive and aging vaginal mucous membranes. The formulation is tailored to provide localized soothing, moisturizing, and immune-stimulating effects where needed, rather than using generic cleaning agents for all cases.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs parameter changes by adjusting the chemical composition parameters of the wet wipe formulation to suit different physiological states. The specific concentrations and combinations of active ingredients are optimized to address hormonal fluctuations, menopause-related changes, and varying degrees of sensitivity, making the product adaptable to different user needs.
2Loss of time
If the wet wipes are used for short exposure times, then convenience is improved, but the active ingredients may not have sufficient time to work
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by formulating the wet wipe with pre-combined active ingredients that are ready to act immediately upon contact with the mucous membranes. The monk's pepper extract, Opuntia cactus extract, and CM-glucan are pre-mixed in optimal concentrations, so that even during short exposure times during cleaning, the ingredients can quickly begin their soothing, moisturizing, and immune-stimulating effects without requiring prolonged contact.
