Abstract:
A kit (18) for preparing a customized cosmetic (11) includes at least one of five cosmetic bases (26, 28, 30, 32, 34). Each of the five cosmetic bases (26, 28, 30, 32, 34) corresponds to at least one of a plurality of primary categories (20a). The kit (18) additionally includes at least one cosmetic active ingredient (24) for admixing with the at least one cosmetic base (26, 28, 30, 32, 34). The at least one cosmetic active ingredient (24) corresponds to at least one of the plurality of primary categories (20a) or at least one of the plurality of secondary categories (20b).
Abstract:
A computerized system for initiating preparation of a customized cosmeceutical formulation, comprising a processor configured to execute program instructions to instantiate a cosmeceutical utility configured for (i) obtaining a skin type, a first skin concern and a prioritized set of second skin concerns from a user; (ii) selecting a base composition from a set of base compositions based on the skin type and the first skin concern; (iii) selecting a subset of booster compositions by determining a prioritized original set of booster compositions based on the prioritized set of second skin concerns; and verifying mutual compatibility of a subset of booster compositions in the original set. If the verifying indicates incompatibility among two or more booster compositions in the subset, the utility is configured to substitute a lower-priority booster composition in the two or more booster compositions with a booster composition that is in the original set but not in the subset; and (iv) causing an electronic message comprising a request to be released towards a recipient, the request identifying the selected base composition and the selected subset of booster compositions.
