  • Method and system for automatic or manual evaluation to provide targeted and individualized delivery of cosmetic actives in a mask or patch form
    Patent number: 8491926
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for targeted and individualized delivery of multiple skin benefit agents to the skin of a user. The image of a predetermined treatment area of the user's skin is first captured by an imaging device. Selective data input from analysis tools and the end user is then analyzed by a computing device to generate a unique skin profile for the user, which is indicative of the skin conditions at the predetermined treatment area. Based on such skin profile, a printing device prints out one or more cosmetic delivery sheets that can be applied to the predetermined treatment area. Each of the cosmetic delivery sheets contains a substrate with multiple isolate, discrete regions, while at least two of the regions are imprinted with different skin benefit agents for treating different skin conditions of the predetermined treatment area according to the unique skin profile of the user.

  • Metered dose applicator with light for activating product
    Patent number: 8403008
    Abstract: Metered dose applicators that irradiate a portion of light sensitive product. When a dropper applicator is secured to a reservoir, a usable volume inside the dropper is reduced. As the dropper is removed from the reservoir, the usable volume in the dropper increases, creating a suction within the dropper that draws product into the dropper from the reservoir. When the dropper is off the reservoir, then a button that is accessible to a user is used to increase and decrease the size of the usable volume. The button also turns on a light that is effective to activate the product as it is being dispensed from the dropper.
