A skincare product is compounded that includes the one or more skincare product ingredients.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of presenting an achievable eyebrow is provided. A computing system receives an indication of an eyebrow mimetic for a subject. The computing system positions the eyebrow mimetic on an image of a face of the subject. The computing system determines an achievable eyebrow by determining one or more modifications to a bare eyebrow of the subject within maximum modification parameters to make the bare eyebrow more like the eyebrow mimetic. The computing system generates a presentation of the achievable eyebrow.

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: Systems and methods for facilitating product preferences and/or product recommendations are disclosed. Biometric data of the subject are taken into account by the systems and methods in order to determine product preferences and/or product recommendations. Other factors of the subject, although optional, may be also taken into account while determining product preferences and/or product recommendations for a subject. These product preferences or recommendations can be presented to the subject, either automatically via a display device or with assistance from a product consultant. To obtain the biometric data, the subject will be exposed to a number of stimuli, such as fragrance/scent stimuli. Biometric data will then be collected from the subject based on her response to this fragrance/scent stimuli. In some examples, the collected biometric data relates to a subject's Electrodermal Resistance (EDR) or Electrodermal Activity (EDA).
