Abstract: A dispensing container and adapter system for use with a planetary mixer is disclosed. The dispensing container has a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis. The dispensing container may include a nozzle and a removable cap to cover the nozzle. The removable cap may have a first width dimension measured along the transverse axis. The dispensing container may include a body having a second width dimension measured along the transverse axis. An adapter may receive the dispensing container. The adapter may include a cavity to receive the removable cap. The cavity may have a cavity width that exceeds the first width dimension. The adapter may also include a recess for receiving a portion of the dispensing container. The recess may extend from the cavity. At least a portion of the recess may have a width dimension smaller than both the first width dimension and the second width dimension.

Abstract: A kit for preparing a customized cosmetic includes at least one of five cosmetic bases. Each of the five cosmetic bases correspond to at least one of a plurality of primary categories. The kit additionally includes at least one cosmetic active ingredient for admixing with the at least one cosmetic base. The at least one cosmetic active ingredient corresponds to at least one of the plurality of primary categories or at least one of the plurality of secondary categories.

Abstract: The present invention relates to mucoadhesive concentrated base compositions having high viscosity of at least 50,000 cPs, which can be processed upon dilution into a gel dosage form and upon drying into a strip dosage form for use as a vehicle for delivery of active ingredients to mucocutaneous surfaces, such as the oral, rectal, nasal or vaginal cavities.

Abstract: An assembly for insertion into a holder of a mixer, comprising: a dispenser having an exterior surface of which at least a band is symmetric about a longitudinal axis of the dispenser; and an adapter for surrounding at least the band of the exterior surface of the dispenser. The adapter comprises a closeable shell, the shell being configured to lock the dispenser in at least a region of the band so as to impede rotational slippage of the dispenser relative to the adapter about the longitudinal axis with the shell being closed. If the assembly is then locked to / engaged with the holder of a planetary mixer, this causes the assembly to undergo superimposed revolution and rotation movements in tandem with those of the holder, resulting in a desired level of mixing being imparted to the dispenser’s contents, which may improve homogeneity and predictability of the mixing results.
