6. Device according to the preceding claims, characterized in that said identification codes (3) further store information about the nature of the component and / or the origin of the container and / or the remaining quantity of the component in the container and / or the number of remaining doses of the component and / or the batch number and / or the serial number and / or parameters enabling the device to be set up.

7. Device according to the preceding claim, characterized in that said identification codes (3) store parameters enabling the device to be set up.

8. Device according to the preceding claims, characterized in that said device comprises an interface capable of displaying the information about the container and the component that is stored in the identification codes (3), said information including the nature of the component and / or the expiration date of the component and / or the origin of the container and / or the opening date of the container and / or the remaining quantity of the component in the container and / or the number of remaining doses of the component and / or the batch number and / or the serial number and / or the parameters enabling the device to be set up.

9. Device according to the preceding claims, characterized in that said device comprises a personalized data collection interface capable of interacting with the user in order to enable the user to indicate their personalized data, preferably selected from a predefined database.

10. Device according to the preceding claim, characterized in that said device comprises a device for processing said personalized data comprising an algorithm for processing said personalized data, in order to automatically define instructions for producing the personalized product in order to determine at least one, preferably all, component(s) that must be contained in the personalized product and / or to calculate the quantities of said component(s) based on said personalized data.

11. Method for producing a cosmetic product which is personalized for a user by means of a device according to claims 1 to 10, the method comprising the steps of: a. Collecting the user's personalized data via a personalized data collection interface; b. Processing the personalized data using an algorithm making it possible to automatically define the components of the personalized product and to calculate the quantities of each component based on the personalized data collected in step a.; c. Displaying the personalized formula to the user via an interface, and indicating to the user if one or more containers need to be added to the device, and which one(s); d. Checking the containers by means of the identification codes (3) that they bear, and by means of the reading means of said device, in order to verify the nature of the component and / or the expiration date of the component and / or the origin of the container and / or the opening date of the container and / or the remaining quantity of the component in the container and / or the number of remaining doses of the component and / or the batch number and / or the serial number and / or the parameters enabling the device to be set up; e. Preventing the extraction of the component and indicating the reason to said user via an interface capable of displaying information about the container and the component, if the check carried out in step d. is negative; f. Extracting the desired quantity of each component in each container and delivering them into said mixing device, if the check carried out in step d. is positive; g. Rewriting, using a means for writing and rewriting on the identification code (3) of at least one container, the opening date of the container and / or the remaining quantity of the component in the container and / or the number of remaining doses of the component; h. Repeating step d. and steps e. or f. and g., if necessary, for each container required, until all the cosmetic components needed to produce the personalized product have been extracted; i. Mixing the extracted components in the mixing device; j. Providing the user with the personalized, preferably cosmetic, product.
