Abstract: Methods for communicating risk of skin conditions due to exposure to sunlight and environmental conditions to individuals. Methods utilize geolocation data and environmental data to provide guidance and enable consumers to make informed decisions regarding outdoor activities, healthcare, and skincare. A photopollution metric is a function of ultraviolet index (UVI) and the level of a pollutant such as particulate matter (PM) and enables communication of risk of exposome-induced skin conditions to an individual based on environmental exposure.

Abstract: Applicators, container assemblies, kits, and methods for delivery of controlled, defined doses of cosmetic compositions to an individual's skin, hair, or other body part. An applicator includes a head that is slidably affixed to a shaft. The shaft includes a piston that is slidably positioned within the head. The head also includes a bias member that biases the head toward a distal position relative to the piston. As the bias member is overcome, the head slides down the shaft and the piston enters the head toward a deeper position within the head to displace and discharge the cosmetic from the interior of the head through an aperture of the head and onto the portion of the body of the individual. The applicator can be used for delivery of defined dosages of a variety of cosmetic compositions, including compositions with a relatively higher viscosity.
