Variblend's New "Minimix" 20mm Dual Dispensing Pump

MiniMix™ utilizes patented technology, and is the first “spatial” mixer that custom blends two formulas with no residual product.

MiniMix™ utilizes patented technology, and is the first “spatial” mixer that custom blends two formulas with no residual product. This VariBlend delivery process utilizes a tightly webbed, precision matrix of 19 separate nozzles to distribute select ratios of two thoroughly blended formulas onto a surface applicator, resulting in a freshly blended, smooth delivery. The slim profile MiniMix™ is suitable for a wide range of products. Its color blending capabilities make it ideal for lip, eye, and face color cosmetics.  It is also an exciting new packaging alternative for products delivered in various strengths, such as skin care and oral care products, OTC drugs, and those that require ingredient segregation. The shades and formulas in the two chambers are intended to be complementary and easily blended. Concealed and eye shadow formulas are planned for future development. “Our proven, easy-to-use system delivers U.S. quality, unsurpassed cost-efficiency and allows the consumer to choose between two shades that can be applied each on its own, or in any of seven combinations,” said Robert Brands, CEO and President of VariBlend. “Imagine, for example, end-users having to carry only one shade of lip gloss, instead of seven.   , with MiniMix™, it’s as simple as turning a twist-knob on the adjustable color scale from one to seven.  Here is another VariBlend dispensing platform that delivers exceptional return on investment, builds brands and delivers true consumer value-added,” Brands said. MiniMix™ offers a consumer variable ratio, which allows for multiple settings between formulas. It outputs up to 25microliters per stroke and can blend from 3ml to 5ml in like, or different, theologies.  MiniMix™ will be available in a number of nozzle/container combinations as well as complete, “ready-to-market” packaging solutions.

The initial release comes in a slightly concaved applicator that fits the lip or is good for direct contact with the skin but can also be used as the dispenser for a lip-gloss applicator. LipMix: A Turnkey Solution Co-Developed with Faber-Cast ell Cosmetics Variblend has partnered with Faber-Cast ell Cosmetics to offer LipMix, a unique lip color product that offers consumers seven different lip shades in one package. To achieve this solution, VariBlend combines its MiniMix™ dual dispensing pump with Faber-Cast ell Cosmetics’ unique ingredients and color technology. This German-made, turnkey solution includes custom color manufacturing, product filling and custom labeling.  Available through VariBlend or Faber Cast ell, this solution is designed to streamline the supply chain and ensure the highest quality of both product and package. The MiniMix™ casing is available in match-to-spec color and transparent, and can be decorated by heat transfer or silk-screening. VariBlend Dual dispensing: a Range of Sizes In addition to the 20mm VariBlend MiniMix™, two other sizes are also available. The 40mm size VariBlend MidiMix is ideal for oral care, personal care products, and others that require small-to-medium dosages. It is available in a variety of nozzle/container combinations, including nozzles and spout nozzles. The larger 49mm VariBlend Maxi Mix is an outstanding choice for bath and body products, food syrups and other products that require medium-to-larger output. It is also available in a variety of nozzle/container combinations.
