Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods for delivery of variable tint pigment materials in cosmetic concealer/foundation products generally include anhydrous carrier particles adapted to carry pigment. The pigmentation carrier particles may be optionally admixed with anhydrous (optionally tinted) base formulation material that is suitably adapted to suspend and/or separate the pigmentation carrier particles. Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise modified to realize improved site-specific delivery of pigment in customized concentrations in order to achieve a desired result. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally provide anhydrous pigmentation carrier particles that may be mixed with substantially anhydrous topical base formulations that allow a user to deliver a selected concentration of concealer/foundation tint to a specific region of the skin, for example, in order to obscure a blemish.

Abstract: A composition and method for producing hydrophilic beads for use in topical formulations is described as generally including gellan gum, salts of divalent cations and water. Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to realize improved production and/or use of hydrophilic beads to achieve a particular desired purpose. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally provide hydrophilic beads that may be comixed with cosmetic, cosmeceutical and/or topical preparations for surface abrasion or as carriers for the delivery of other compounds; such as, aloe vera, ascorbic acid, active agents, and/or the like.

Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods for delivery of bio-available compounds in topical preparations generally include anhydrous carrier particles adapted to carry bio-available compounds. The carrier particles may be admixed with anhydrous formulation material that is suitably adapted to suspend and/or separate the carrier particles. Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to realize improved production and/or use of carrier particles that may be employed to deliver bio-available compounds in order to achieve a desired purpose. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally provide anhydrous carrier particles that may be mixed with substantially anhydrous topical preparations.
