A multi-phase cosmetic composition mixing pack for mixing immiscible components of a multi-phase cosmetic composition such that they are temporarily miscible includes a container for holding the multi-phase cosmetic composition that has a first open end and a container longitudinal axis, and a mixing element disposed within the container and configured to be actuated for mixing immiscible components of the multi-phase cosmetic composition such that they are temporarily miscible, wherein the mixing element is limited to movement substantially along the container longitudinal axis when actuated.

An appliance for producing a personal care product. The appliance includes a reaction chamber configured to receive one or more ingredients of the personal care product. The reaction chamber includes a mechanism for mixing ingredients and an extruding mechanism. The appliance also includes a sensor configured to determine one or more conditions in the reaction chamber, the one or more conditions includes at least a pH of the personal care product. The appliance further includes a cartridge, where the cartridge holds at least one of the one or more ingredients of the personal care product. The appliance additionally includes an output port configured to allow removal of the personal care product from the reaction chamber.

A machine produces foam-in-bag from foam precursors mixed within the bag. The machine comprises a base and a shell. The base and shell are moveable relative each other between a base/shell disengaged position and a base/shell engaged position. In the base/shell engaged position, the base and shell divide the bag so that a mixing chamber is isolated from the remainder portion of the bag. First and second nozzles inject foam precursors into the mixing chamber. A mixer engages the mixing chamber to provide mixing energy to facilitate the foam reaction.
