A fragrance dispensing system includes a first and a second container each having a main tube for the expulsion of a fragrance contained therein, and a dispensing device that provides a dispensing path towards an outlet section and that includes a mixing chamber and a first and second auxiliary tubes connected at one end to the mixing chamber. A containing case forms a seat containing the first and second containers, and a cap is configured to be applied on the containing case and houses the mixing chamber, an outlet section for the mixed fragrances and, at least partly, and the first and second auxiliary tubes, each of which has a free end separably connected to one of the main tubes when the cap is engaged to the case.

An apparatus for producing a composition includes a holding device for holding first and second capsules including first and second deformable compartments, respectively, which contain a first formulation and a second formulation, respectively; a first compression element including a first compression surface designed to apply a pressure to the first deformable compartment of the first capsule; and a second compression element including a second compression surface designed to apply a pressure to the second deformable compartment of the second capsule. The first compression surface is designed to conduct and guide the contents of the first capsule to a first passage in the first capsule that can be fluidically connected to the first deformable compartment and the second compression surface is designed to conduct and guide the contents of the second capsule to a second passage in the second capsule that can be fluidically connected to the second deformable compartment.

Device (145) for dispensing drops of liquid, characterised in that it comprises: —at least one container (100) for a liquid, comprising at least one internal chamber and an upper opening, each chamber having a lower aperture and a seal sealing the upper opening, the seal having a substantially planar resiliently deformabie flexible portion, —at least one mechanical actuation means (146) configured to deform a flexible portion of a seal of at least one container, —a means (147) for selecting the volume of a drop to be dispensed from a plurality of drop volumes, a means (148) for determining the volume of liquid present in at least one container, and—a means (149) for controlling the actuation means, which means controls the movement from at least one point of the flexible portion of a container seal, as a non-constant function of the drop volume to be dispensed and the volume of liquid present in the container.

The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic manufacturing device and a discharge information determination method for the cosmetic manufacturing device, wherein the device and method provide a method for determining discharge information for providing customized cosmetics. The method comprises the steps of: determining a target color; determining a coverage level; determining a texture; and determining discharge information on the basis of the target color, the coverage level, and the texture, wherein the step for determining the discharge information may include a step for determining cartridges of interest such that the cartridge discharging a cosmetic material varies according to the coverage level even if the target color is the same.

A production apparatus includes a receiving device designed to receive a first and a second capsule containing a first and a second formulation, respectively, the receiving device being designed to be in an open position in which the first and the second capsule can be introduced into the receiving device and a closed position in which the receiving device holds the first and second capsules in position, the receiving device further being designed in such a way that when the receiving device holding the first and second capsules is moved from the open position to the closed position, the first and second capsules are connected; the apparatus further includes a mixing machine designed to receive the receiving device holding the first and second capsules, and to mix the first and second formulations contained in the first and second capsules such as to obtain the composition.

There is provided a stirring device including a stirring tank including an inner peripheral wall which is circular in cross section, at least one circulating impeller and at least one dispersion blade which are located inside the stirring tank and rotatable around a vertical axis independently of each other, and a guide ring disposed radially outward near the dispersion blade. The circulating impeller is disposed along the inner peripheral wall of the stirring tank, and rotates around the vertical axis to form at least a downward flow in a stirring object existing inside the stirring tank. The dispersion blade rotates to apply a shear force to the stirring object, and is disposed at a radially inner position of the stirring tank from the circulating impeller, and at a position in contact with a flow of the stirring object, which is formed by the circulating impeller.

This invention relates to a device (10) for conditioning and applying a biphasic fluid cosmetic composition, comprising: a receptacle (12) extending along a main axis and defining an internal volume (30) able to receive said cosmetic composition, said receptacle comprising a neck (26) giving access to said internal volume; and a mixing member (42), received in the internal volume of the receptacle characterized in that: the mixing member includes a plurality of extended filaments (60), a first end (62) of each one of said filaments is connected to the neck of the receptacle, with the filaments being separated two-by-two by a non-zero distance (66) over at least 50% of a height (34) of the internal volume from said neck; and the mixing member is fixed in rotation with respect to the receptacle.

The manufacturing apparatus comprises a first capsule containing a predetermined amount of a first formulation, the first capsule including a first connection portion and an outlet passage provided with an outlet orifice; a second capsule containing a predetermined amount of a second formulation, and including a second connection portion configured to be connected to the first connection portion; and a mixing machine configured to receive the first and second capsules, and to mix the first and second formulations contained in the first and second capsules so as to obtain the cosmetic product. The manufacturing apparatus is configured to automatically close the outlet passage when the first and second capsules are received in the mixing machine, and to automatically clear the outlet passage when the first and second capsules are removed out of the mixing machine.

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to a system and method for customizing a cosmetic product. The system includes: an interface device, in electronic communication with a single batch cosmetic device. A container configured, to be imported into the single batch cosmetic device containing a base. The single batch cosmetic device configured to formulate a customized cosmetic product by mixing a cosmetic additive with the base inside the imported container using at least one mixing element.
