A system is provided for generating a custom hair dye formulation to be dispensed into a single customer container for a particular customer. The system establishes a connection with a user device of the particular customer over a network, receives a selection of a preferred type of expertise of a colorist, determines an available colorist that corresponds to the preferred type of expertise, establishes a video communication session between the particular customer and a colorist device of the determined colorist, causes display of a customer interface to the customer, causes display of a colorist interface to the colorist device, and transmits the generated custom hair dye formulation to a fill site, via the network.

A cosmetic preparation system may provide a diagnostic or shade matching tool, a dispenser unit, and a mixer unit. The diagnostic or shade matching tool may identify a user skin type and customize one or more ingredients to create a custom blend composition. The dispenser unit may dispense ingredients and prepare the custom blend composition in containers of various sizes. The mixer unit may provide a mixing assembly to mix the one or more ingredients using gyroscopic mixing.

A portable microfluidic mixer system includes a blend application to issue blend instructions, and a microfluidic mixer device. The microfluidic mixer device includes a housing, microfluidic pumps and valves within the device housing, a microfluidic dispenser, a microfluidic mixer chip, and a mix controller. The microfluidic mixer chip receives and meters microfluidic amounts of one or more fluids. The mix controller electronically communicates with the blend application to receives blend application blend instructions. The microfluidic mixer device includes fluid pathways for fluid communication between one or more fluid canisters and the microfluidic mixer chip, and between the microfluidic mixer chip and the microfluidic dispenser. The mix controller controls the microfluidic pumps and the microfluidic valves, to control a system pressure within the microfluidic mixer device, for the delivery of the one or more fluids to the microfluidic mixer chip, and to dispense a microfluidic mixture from the microfluidic dispenser.

A customized skin care composition. The skin care composition includes a base composition comprising one of an aqueous alcohol composition or an aqueous emulsion. The skin care composition further includes at least two booster compositions selected from the group consisting of a first grade exfoliating agent; a second grade exfoliating agent, the second grade exfoliating agent providing greater exfoliating than the first grade exfoliating agent; a first grade whitening agent; a second grade whitening agent, the second grade whitening agent providing greater whitening than the first grade whitening agent; a first grade anti-aging agent; and a second grade anti-aging agent, the second grade anti-aging agent providing greater anti-aging effects than the first grade anti-aging agent. The base composition and the at least two booster compositions have been mixed to form a composition that is stable and has efficacious concentrations of active ingredients corresponding to skin conditions of a consumer.

Systems and methods for fabricating ingestible pharmaceutical tablets are provided. Certain of the systems and methods described herein are capable of manufacturing tablets of different dosages without the need to fluidically connect or disconnect unit operations when switching from a tablet having a first dosage to a tablet having a second, different dosage. Certain of the systems and methods described herein are capable of manufacturing compositionally tablets, e.g., tablets with different active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

System for dispensing a makeup product, having a dispenser (11) that receives at least two cartridges (30), each one having a reservoir containing a base product, the latter leaving the cartridge via an outlet channel (52) of the cartridge, this outlet channel opening out at the outside of the dispenser or near the external surface thereof.

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to a system for customizing a cosmetic product. The system includes: an interface device, in electronic communication with a single batch formulation device. The single batch formulation device is configured to formulate a customized cosmetic product, and a threaded container configured, to be imported into the single batch formulation device containing a base and exported from the single batch formulation device containing the customized cosmetic.

A dispensing device, comprising a plurality of microfluidic pumps, microfluidic valves, and a microfluidic mixer chip, for receiving and mixing microfluidic amounts of a plurality of fluids having differing viscosities, is disclosed. The device includes a plurality of pathways for moving fluids from associated reservoirs to the microfluidic mixer chip. A mix controller controls the microfluidic pumps and valves so that the fluids, having different viscosities, can be accurately mixed at specified microfluidic amounts or volumes according to a specified microfluidic recipe, and the microfluidic mixture dispensed from the device. The device can be in communication with a software application implemented on a mobile compute device, such as a smartphone, and receive instructions for implementing the specified microfluidic recipe from the software application such that the operation of device components is at the direction of the software application executed on the mobile compute device.
