Modifying a cosmetic product based on a microbe profile

A method of modifying a cosmetic product, comprising:

• receiving information associated with a microbe profile of an individual, the microbe profile including a distribution and identity of one or more types of microbes on a skin surface of the individual;
• receiving information associated with an ingredient list of the cosmetic product, the ingredient list of the cosmetic product including one or more cosmetic ingredients;
• comparing the received information associated with the microbe profile of the individual and the received information associated with the ingredient list of the cosmetic product to an ingredient-microbe interaction dataset, the ingredient-microbe interaction dataset including information associated with chemical interactions between one or more reference cosmetic ingredients and one or more types of reference microbes wherein said chemical interactions alter at least one of a color, a texture, or an odor of the one or more reference cosmetic ingredients;
• identifying a chemical interaction between at least one of the one or more cosmetic ingredients in the ingredient list of the cosmetic product and at least one of the one or more types of microbes in the microbe profile of the individual based on the comparison with the ingredient-microbe interaction dataset, wherein the chemical interaction alters at least one of a color, a texture, or an odor of the at least one of the one or more cosmetic ingredients;
• recommending a modification to the ingredient list of the cosmetic product in response to the identified chemical interaction between the at least one of the one or more cosmetic ingredients in the ingredient list of the cosmetic product and the at least one of the one or more types of microbes in the microbe profile of the individual;
• and
• reporting to a user the recommended modification to the ingredient list of the cosmetic product.

A system for modifying a cosmetic product, comprising:

• circuitry for receiving information associated with a microbe profile of an individual, the microbe profile including a distribution of one or more types of microbes on a skin surface of the individual;
• circuitry for receiving information associated with an ingredient list of the cosmetic product, the ingredient list of the cosmetic product including one or more cosmetic ingredients;
• circuitry for comparing the received information associated with the microbe profile of the individual and the received information associated with the ingredient list of the cosmetic product to an ingredient-microbe interaction dataset, the ingredient-microbe interaction dataset including information associated with chemical interactions between one or more reference cosmetic ingredients and one or more types of reference microbes, wherein said chemical interactions alter at least one of a color, a texture, or an odor of the one or more reference cosmetic ingredients;
• circuitry for identifying a chemical interaction between at least one of the one or more cosmetic ingredients in the ingredient list of the cosmetic product and at least one of the one or more types of microbes in the microbe profile of the individual based on the comparison with the ingredient-microbe interaction dataset, wherein the chemical interaction alters at least one of the color, the texture, or the odor of the at least one of the one or more cosmetic ingredients;
• circuitry for recommending a modification to the ingredient list of the cosmetic product in response to the identified chemical interaction between the at least one of the one or more cosmetic ingredients in the ingredient list of the cosmetic product and the at least one of the one or more types of microbes in the microbe profile of the individual;
• and
• circuitry for sending a signal to report to a user the recommended modification to the ingredient list of the cosmetic product.

A system for modifying a cosmetic product, comprising:

• a computing device;
• an ingredient-microbe interaction dataset including information associated with chemical interactions between one or more reference cosmetic ingredients and one or more types of reference microbes, wherein said chemical interactions alter at least one of a color, a texture, or an odor of the one or more reference cosmetic ingredients;
• and
• non-transitory machine-readable media including one or more instructions for modifying the cosmetic product, the one or more instructions including one or more instructions for receiving information associated with a microbe profile of an individual, the microbe profile including a distribution of one or more types of microbes on a skin surface of the individual;
• one or more instructions for receiving information associated with an ingredient list of the cosmetic product, the ingredient list including one or more cosmetic ingredients;
• one or more instructions for comparing the ingredient-microbe interaction dataset to the received information associated with the microbe profile of the individual and the received information associated with the ingredient list of the cosmetic product;
• one or more instructions for identifying a chemical interaction between at least one of the one or more cosmetic ingredients in the ingredient list of the cosmetic product and at least one of the one or more types of microbes in the microbe profile of the individual based on comparison with the ingredient-microbe interaction dataset, wherein the identified chemical interaction alters at least one of a color, a texture, or an odor of the at least one of the one or more cosmetic ingredients;
• one or more instructions for recommending a modification to the ingredient list of the cosmetic product in response to the identified chemical interaction between the at least one of the one or more cosmetic ingredients in the ingredient list of the cosmetic product and the at least one of the one or more types of microbes in the microbe profile of the individual;
• and
• one or more instructions for reporting to a user the recommended modification to the ingredient list of the cosmetic product.
