Abstract: A system is provided for dispensing a cosmetic container, comprising: a conveyer belt configured to transport a receiver container along a fill line; a robotic arm disposed at an ingress position of the fill line; a sensor disposed at an egress position of the fill line; circuitry configured to receive an order having a container type; control the robotic arm to obtain a container corresponding to the container type and place it a predetermined position on the conveyor belt at an entrance of the fill line; transit information of a sequence position of the container and the container type to the sensor; verify that the correct container is at the sequence position at the egress of the fill line after the container has been filed with a cosmetic product.

Abstract: A method for managing a skin care system. The skin care system includes circuitry to receive skin information from a user. The circuitry determines treatable skin conditions based on the skin information. The skin care system generates severity information and cosmetic formulation compatibility information based on the treatable skin conditions. The skin care system is further able to virtually display user-specific compatible cosmetic formulations based on at least one parameter associated with the severity information and cosmetic formulation compatibility.

Abstract: An image is accepted by one or more processing circuits from a user depicting the user's skin. Machine learning models stored in one or more memory circuits are applied to the image to classify acne characteristics. An acne severity grade is provided by the one or more processing circuits and a user interface displays the acne severity grade.

Abstract: An image is accepted by one or more processing circuits from a user depicting the user's facial skin. Machine learning models stored in one or more memory circuits are applied to the image to classify facial skin characteristics. A regimen recommendation is provided to the user based on the classified facial skin characteristics.

Abstract: A system is provided for dispensing a hair dye formulation into a customer container. The system includes a conveyer belt configured to transport the customer container along a fill line; a plurality of dispensing mechanisms, each connected to a respective container having a different bulk hair dye color, the plurality of dispensing mechanisms being disposed over a conveyer belt along the fill line. The system is configured to receive a formula for filling the customer container with one or more bulk hair dye colors from among the plurality of containers having the different bulk hair dye color, and control each of the plurality of dispensing mechanisms to perform a dispensing operation to dispense an amount of bulk hair dye color or to not perform a dispensing operation at a time when the customer container is transported to each of the plurality of dispensing mechanisms along the fill line.

Abstract: A system is provided for generating a custom hair dye formulation to be dispensed into a single customer container for a particular customer. The system establishes a connection with a user device of the particular customer over a network, receives a selection of a preferred type of expertise of a colorist, determines an available colorist that corresponds to the preferred type of expertise, establishes a video communication session between the particular customer and a colorist device of the determined colorist, causes display of a customer interface to the customer, causes display of a colorist interface to the colorist device, and transmits the generated custom hair dye formulation to a fill site, via the network.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for providing a cosmetic composition to a user. The system includes an apparatus configured to dispense at least one cosmetic composition into a output container; a user interface configured to receive information about the user; and circuitry configured to receive the information about the user and determine one or more cosmetic compositions to be dispensed into the output container based on the information about the user received at the user interface.

Abstract: A system forms a cosmetic composition. The system includes a dispensing arrangement in selective fluid communication with a plurality of dispensing dosing receptacles mounted on a movable carousel. The dispensing arrangement is configured to selectively dispense a plurality of the booster compositions together with a base composition corresponding to a formulation corresponding to a compatibility profile and consumer skin conditions to form a stable composition having efficacious concentrations of active ingredients into a receiving receptacle.

Abstract: A device comprises a treatment system to treat scalp or hair; one or more sensors configured to detect at least one spatial condition selected from device contact with scalp or hair, device distance to scalp or hair, and device location in relation to scalp or hair; a controller configured to send instructions to adjust the treatment system based on the detected spatial condition of the device.

Abstract: In some embodiments of the present disclosure, one or more machine learning models are trained to accurately estimate skin color in one or more images regardless of the lighting conditions. In some embodiments, the models can then be used to estimate a skin color in a new image, and that estimated skin color can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, the skin color may be used to generate a recommendation for a foundation shade that accurately matches the skin color, or a recommendation for another cosmetic product that is complimentary with the estimated skin color. Thus, the need for an in-person test of the product is eliminated.
