This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,658.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

This inventive concept leverages the core technology of cosmetic compositions with enhanced color retention to create novel applications in agriculture, construction, sports, and food packaging, providing improved water resistance, durability, and performance.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent addressed the need for cosmetic compositions with improved water resistance, color intensity, and skin feel. However, its limitations were confined to the cosmetic industry. This inventive concept tackles the challenge of adapting the core technology to address specific problems in various industries, such as crop yields, soil erosion, building material durability, athletic performance, and food packaging.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The inventive concept involves the strategic application of water-resistant film formers, plant/surface adhesion promoters, color enhancers, and industry-specific agents to create novel solutions. For instance, in agriculture, the film former and plant adhesion promoter work synergistically to enhance plant growth and water resistance, improving crop yields. Similarly, in construction, the coating provides improved durability and water resistance to building materials. These adaptations enable the technology to address unique industry challenges, offering improved performance and efficiency.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce novel applications and use cases that were not originally considered in the cosmetic industry, thereby providing an inventive step beyond the original patent. The adaptations to different industries, such as agriculture, construction, sports, and food packaging, demonstrate a non-obvious expansion of the core technology.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Other embodiments of the inventive concept could include adapting the film former and adhesion promoter to address specific challenges in industries like textiles, biomedical devices, or automotive coatings. Additionally, variations of the industry-specific agents could be developed to cater to diverse application requirements.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential across various industries, including agriculture, construction, sports, and food packaging. The technology's adaptability and improved performance could lead to increased market share and revenue growth for companies adopting this innovative approach.
