Disclosed is a system for production of a cosmetic product including: at least one first single-use packaging unit including a preset quantity of a first phase of a cosmetic product, at least one second single-use packaging unit including a preset quantity of a second phase of a cosmetic product, a machine including a mixer inside of which the mixture of the preset quantity of the first phase and the preset quantity of the second phase is done automatically in order to end up with a cosmetic product directly consumable by the end consumer. The mixing is done in a manner such that neither the first phase nor the second phase are in direct contact with any part of the mixer which is not single use, thus avoiding dirtying the mixer.

A mixing and delivery system includes a compressible tube and a mixing apparatus. The compressible tube includes a reservoir configured for mixing and holding a surgical substance, an inlet portion for accommodating introduction of an element of the surgical substance into the compressible tube, and an exit port for enabling the delivery of the surgical substance to a target portion of an anatomy. The mixing apparatus is configured to be received through the inlet portion of the compressible tube for mixing elements of the surgical substance to form the surgical substance.
