Publication number: 20230101556Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for in situ diagnostic assessment and formula dispensing are described. A diagnostic formula applicator can include a fluid dispensing assembly coupled with a comb having a plurality of tines. A tine of the plurality of tines can be configured to dispense a fluid formula to a region of a biological surface via at least one fluid conduit. The diagnostic formula applicator can include hair diagnostic circuitry operably coupled to the fluid dispensing assembly. The diagnostic circuitry can be configured to actuate the fluid dispensing assembly to deliver the fluid formula via the at least one fluid conduit, responsive to determining a user-specific hair cosmetic aspect from hair and scalp sensor information.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: L'OrealInventors: Dominic Akerele, Fred Orsita, Richard Besen, Guive Balooch

Publication number: 20230065050Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for tracking skin concerns. Color-coded substrates come in different colors, each color being associate with a different skin concern. The color-coded substrates include at least one hydrocolloid and active agent. The color-coded substrates can come in different area-specific shapes for applying on different areas of the skin or face. The color-coded substrates can come in different dosages. A computing device, such as a smartphone, can be used to take scans of the skin with or without substrates, and the computing device is configured to analyze the skin and color-coded substrates based on color or shape or other symbols to make recommendations so that a subject will be able to track the progress of any skin concern.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventor: Dominic Akerele

Patent number: 11000470Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, compositions, and kits for treating hair. The methods entail the use of multiple compositions, which can be incorporated into kits. The methods include: (I) optionally, cleansing the hair, for example, with a cleansing composition such as a shampoo; (II) optionally, treating the hair with a rinse-off conditioning mask, and rinsing the rinse-off conditioning mask from the hair; (III) applying a leave-on hair-treatment composition to the hair; (IV) without removing the leave-on hair-treatment composition, subsequently applying a leave-on hair crème to the hair; and (V) without removing the leave-on hair-treatment composition and the leave-on hair crème, styling the hair. The methods provide durable styling and conditioning benefits, frizz control/curl definition, and general hair manageability qualities.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2017Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: L'OREALInventors: Dominic Akerele, Angela Park, Jaimie Mecca, Kamini Patel, Ivana Pur

Patent number: 10977836Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a color picker interface are provided. In some embodiments, information regarding available colors is retrieved by a color picker computing device, which generates a color picker interface based on the available colors. In some embodiments, the color picker interface allows a user to customize a color, but restricts the user to select colors that are available as indicated by the information regarding the available colors. In some embodiments, once a color is chosen using the color picker interface, the chosen color may be used to recommend one or more products based on the chosen color, to generate a virtual try-on image that shows a product associated with the chosen color rendered on an image of the user, or for any other purpose.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: L'OrealInventor: Dominic Akerele
