Zanthoxylum schinifolium soap formulation for skin care
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current bactericidal and fungicidal skin care soaps often cause allergic reactions due to synthetic agents, and there is a waste of resources in processing Zanthoxylum schinifolium seeds, which contain valuable essential and nut oils with bactericidal and fungicidal properties.
Innovation Solution
A bactericidal, fungicidal, and anti-allergenic Zanthoxylum schinifolium skin care soap is developed using both essential and nut oils extracted from Zanthoxylum schinifolium seeds, with a formulation that includes Zanthoxylum schinifolium nut oil, propylene glycol, glycerin, sodium alkyl ether sulfate, lauric acid, stearic acid, and Zanthoxylum schinifolium essential oil, processed through steam distillation and solvent extraction to create a soap that avoids chemical agents and maximizes resource utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If synthetic bactericidal and fungicidal agents are used in skin care soaps, then bactericidal and fungicidal effects are improved, but skin allergic reactions worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces persistent synthetic bactericidal and fungicidal agents with natural plant extracts that decompose more rapidly and safely on skin, reducing accumulation and allergic reactions while maintaining effective antimicrobial action during the washing process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by using natural plant extracts (such as tea tree oil, lavender oil, chamomile extract) instead of synthetic agents, altering the molecular structure and chemical properties to reduce skin irritation while preserving antimicrobial efficacy
2Productivity
If Zanthoxylum schinifolium seeds are processed to extract essential oil only, then essential oil production is improved, but resource utilization worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two extraction processes into a unified flow: essential oil extraction from seeds is followed by nut oil extraction from the same seed material, merging what were previously separate processes into an integrated resource utilization system that maximizes value from the raw material
Solution Approach 2:
The patent recovers nut oil from seed shells and nutmeats that would otherwise be discarded after essential oil extraction, transforming waste materials into a valuable cosmetic ingredient and achieving circular resource utilization
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The soap provides effective sterilization, reduces skin allergic reactions, enhances skin moisture, and offers a rich foaming experience without causing irritation, utilizing the natural bactericidal and fungicidal properties of Zanthoxylum schinifolium oils while minimizing waste.
Implementation Method 1
Zanthoxylum schinifolium essential oils extracted by various methods inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, Candida tropicalis, Candida albicans, White ground bacteria, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Aspergillus niger at varying degrees
Implementation Method 2
Zanthoxylum schinifolium nut oil contains rich content of unsaturated fatty acids, in which α-linolenic acid content is up to above 33.0%. Unsaturated fatty acids are essential to the human body. With respect to α-linolenic acid, it is also called 'brain gold.' In addition to its health benefits, when added into consumer goods, α-linolenic acid has an excellent fungicidal effect.
