A method and system for selecting and producing a customized cosmetic or
pharmaceutical formulation is disclosed below. The system can be
implemented in an Internet based system or a stand-alone version, such as
a Kiosk. An improved method of custom formulation is presented which
utilizes the user's preferences and profile, as well as external factors.
The customized formulation can be directed to a manufacturing facility for
on-demand production. Alternatively, a printout of the formulation can be
provided for subsequent use at point-of-sale locations, such as a
cosmetics store or a pharmacy. The custom formulation software can also be
provided in conjunction with a cosmetics manufacturing kit for use in home
or business application.
