A lip balm applicator product comprises upper and lower portions that are connectable together to define the applicator product being of a substantially spherical shape. A support platform is located in the lower portion and accommodates a quantity of lip balm having an arcuate surface. A lip balm comprises a composition of waxes and oils in solid form and formed to have an arcuate surface. The composition is formed to have the arcuate surface using a hot pour process. A method of manufacturing a lip balm comprises providing a receptacle having a concave arcuate surface. A lip balm material in a heated, liquefied phase is poured into the receptacle. Once poured, the heated, liquefied phase is allowed to solidify such that a surface of the solidified lip balm material has an arcuate configuration that corresponds to the concave arcuate surface of the receptacle.

A device for applying a removable substance in the form of a baton, has a substance carrier and a protective sleeve so that the substance carrier can be made to move relative to the protective sleeve. A movement part has a longitudinal slot in which the substance carrier is guided by a peg, and the substance carrier can be moved between a retracted position and an extended position. The longitudinal slot has a retaining portion assigned to the extended position, the central longitudinal axis of which runs at an angle to a central longitudinal axis of a movement portion of the longitudinal slot. The central longitudinal axis of the retaining portion and the central longitudinal axis of the movement portion enclose an obtuse angle.

A cosmetic stick case contains a magnetic member. The cosmetic stick case includes a cosmetic stick body, a cosmetic stick inserted into the cosmetic stick body, and a push button for drawing out the cosmetic stick to an outside by a pressing operation. The cosmetic stick body contains a first magnetic force member and the push button contains a second magnetic force member. Attractive force between the first magnetic force member and the second magnetic force member keeps the push button in a fixed state without being shaken while the push button is inserted into the cosmetic stick body.

A glue-free lipstick case that comprises an A-shell and cam sleeve with no glue in between. The cam sleeve is provided with one or more flexible tabs on its outer surface. The flexible tabs bias in a radially outward direction. The A-shell member fits snugly over the cam sleeve and flexible tabs, such that the outward pressure exerted by the tabs on the inner surface of the cam sleeve helps to ensure that the two members move as one.

A cap for a tubular balm dispenser is disclosed. The cap includes a base portion and a sidewall. The sidewall extends perpendicularly from the base portion and defines a recess for receiving a tubular balm dispenser. The cap is open at one end opposite the base portion. The cap is formed from an elastomeric material. The sidewall has an inner sidewall surface removably attachable to the dispenser and configured to resist rotation of the tubular balm dispenser relative to the cap; wherein the elastomeric material provides a friction between the tubular balm dispenser and the cap when the tubular balm dispenser is inserted into the recess and seated against the base portion.

Today's suppositories are typically packaged individually for digital administration into the anal canal of a patient. A suppository applicator described herein, which works with individually packaged suppositories, can alternatively be shipped in a prepackaged operational arrangement with a suppository to enable the patient to administer the suppository through use of the applicator in a single operation after opening a hygienic wrapper containing the applicator-suppository combination. A method for manufacturing a suppository includes manufacturing the suppository in the presence of and in contact with an element configured to be used to insert the suppository into a body cavity. The method may include using the element to define a shape of the suppository during the manufacturing. The resulting applicator-suppository combination is more hygienic and easier to handle than the separate applicator and suppository and provides more efficiency from time of opening the packaging to time of commencing administration of the suppository.
