AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a method and device for producing cosmetic items by mixing predetermined amounts of ingredients in a packing unit. This allows the final consumer to create a specific amount of cosmetic item without needing to measure out or portion the ingredients themselves. The packing unit contains precise measurements of the ingredients, which can be used to produce a single, domestic quantity of the cosmetic item. This method eliminates the need for preservatives and allows the user to create a fresh and effective cosmetic item with the added benefit of a long shelf life. The device used for mixing the ingredients includes a separation chamber that ensures the ingredients remain pure and unmixed until ready to use, resulting in a simplified and natural production process. The invention also provides a convenient and easy-to-use method for creating customizable cosmetic items for the final consumer.
