Systems and methods for formulating personalized skincare products

Abstract

Systems and methods for formulating a personalized skincare product for a user. Data inputs reflecting dermal information of the user (e.g., hydration level measurements, oil level measurements, and a photograph of the user's skin reflecting a set of skin concerns) are collected by a computing device and used to determine a set of normalized scores. A skin health data set is generated based on the normalized scores and stored in memory. A skin health metric is determined based on the skin health data set and is stored in memory. The computing device determines, using a machine learning framework, one or more first skincare product formulations based on the user skin health data set. The formulation(s) can be used to manufacture one or more customized skincare products for the user and can be iteratively refined over time, e.g., by collecting additional data from the user over time.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer system for formulating skin care products for a user, the system comprising a computing device having a memory for storing computer executable instructions and a processor that executes the computer executable instructions to:
 receive one or more data inputs reflecting dermal information of the user after use of a first skincare product, the one or more data inputs including one or more hydration level measurements of the user's skin taken using a corneocyte test, one or more oil level measurements of the user's skin taken using a sebum test, and a photograph of the user's skin taken using a camera;   determine, based on the one or more hydration level measurements, a normalized hydration index score using a first machine learning model trained on a data set of corneocyte test results;   determine, based on the one or more oil level measurements, a normalized oil index score using a second machine learning model trained on a data set of sebum test results;   determine, based on the photograph of the user's skin, a set of normalized severity scores corresponding to a set of skin concerns of the user by applying a third machine learning model comprising a trained anomaly detection model or a trained convolutional neural network to the photograph;   generate a skin health data set for the user, the first skin health data set including the set of normalized severity scores, the normalized hydration index score, and the normalized oil index score;   store the skin health data set in first storage in electronic communication with the computing device;   generate a skin health metric based upon the skin health data set;   determine a skincare product formulation comprising one or more product-ingredient-dosage combinations by applying a fourth machine learning model to the skin health metric and the skin health data set;   store the skincare product formulation in second storage in electronic communication with the computing device; and   provide the skincare product formulation to the user in the form of a recommendation.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first data inputs include information reflecting at least one of temperature, humidity, or environmental ultraviolet index of the user's location. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first data inputs include information reflecting at least one of user genetics, medical history, diet, water intake, smoking habits, known allergies, alcohol habits, sleep quality, stress levels, time spent in front of electronic screens, or sun exposure. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first data inputs include information reflecting at least one of a user-reported assessment of skin health, skin care product usage, past skin care product usage, past skin reactions, skin care goals, skin care concerns, skin care absorption or texture preferences. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first data inputs include at least one of an elasticity measurement of the user's skin, a wrinkle measurement of the user's skin, or a surface pH level of the user's skin. 
     
     
         6 . A computerized method of formulating skin care products for a user, the method comprising:
 receiving, by a computing device, one or more data inputs reflecting dermal information of the user after use of a first skincare product, the one or more data inputs including one or more hydration level measurements of the user's skin taken using a corneocyte test, one or more oil level measurements of the user's skin taken using a sebum test, and a photograph of the user's skin taken using a camera;   determining, by the computing device, based on the one or more hydration level measurements, a normalized hydration index score using a first machine learning model trained on a data set of corneocyte test results;   determining, by the computing device, based on the one or more oil level measurements, a normalized oil index score using a second machine learning model trained on a data set of sebum test results;   determining, by the computing device, based on the photograph of the user's skin, a set of normalized severity scores corresponding to a set of skin concerns of the user by applying a third machine learning model comprising a trained anomaly detection model or a trained convolutional neural network to the photograph;   generating, by the computing device, a skin health data set for the user, the first skin health data set including the set of normalized severity scores, the normalized hydration index score, and the normalized oil index score;   storing, by the computing device, the skin health data set in first storage in electronic communication with the computing device;   generating, by the computing device, a skin health metric based upon the skin health data set;   determining, by the computing device, a skincare product formulation comprising one or more product-ingredient-dosage combinations by applying a fourth machine learning model to the skin health metric and the skin health data set;   storing, by the computing device, the skincare product formulation in second storage in electronic communication with the computing device; and   providing, by the computing device, the skincare product formulation to the user in the form of a recommendation.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the first data inputs include information reflecting at least one of temperature, humidity, or environmental ultraviolet index of the user's location. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the first data inputs include information reflecting at least one of user genetics, medical history, diet, water intake, smoking habits, known allergies, alcohol habits, sleep quality, stress levels, time spent in front of electronic screens, or sun exposure. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the first data inputs include information reflecting at least one of a user-reported assessment of skin health, skin care product usage, past skin care product usage, past skin reactions, skin care goals, skin care concerns, skin care absorption or texture preferences. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the first data inputs include at least one of an elasticity measurement of the user's skin, a wrinkle measurement of the user's skin, or a surface pH level of the user's skin.
