The cosmetic product dispensing assembly includes a transmission element, a tubular cartridge of cosmetic product, configured to be detachably coupled to the transmission element, a receiving shell capable of receiving the transmission element. The cartridge includes a receptacle for cosmetic product engaging with the helical groove of an outer tube and the longitudinal guide slot of the control sleeve, and a bottom element integral in rotation with the control sleeve. The transmission element is configured to be received and non-detachably held in the receiving shell, and includes a snap-in element on an inner face.

A roll-on dispenser includes a housing having a base, an open top end, and an interior volume. The interior volume of the housing has a rising device coupled to the base of the housing. The rising device is in turn coupled to a cartridge riser plate. The opened top end of the housing has a top section which can be removably secured. The top section also houses a roller ball therein.

The present invention relates generally to an apparatus as well as a method for forming a cosmetic product, in particular an apparatus as well as a method for forming a lipstick mine, from at least two pasty masses. Here, the apparatus according to the invention comprises a flexible mold and a flexible core adapted to be moved into the flexible mold and to be arranged in a first position at least partially inside the flexible mold, and in a second position outside the flexible mold. The method according to the invention comprises moving the flexible core into the first position, filling a first pasty mass into a first cavity, the first cavity being formed between the flexible mold and the flexible core when the flexible core is in the first position, moving the flexible core into the second position, filling a second pasty mass into a second cavity, the second cavity being formed in the first pasty mass when the flexible core is moved into the second position, and deforming the pasty masses from the flexible mold.

A retractable dispenser device includes: an externally threaded multi-ply tube comprising a spiral wound first multi-ply material, wherein the first multi-ply material includes one or more inner plies and an outer ply, wherein the outer ply is wider than the one or more inner plies, wherein subsequent windings of the inner plies abut each other such that the outer ply overlaps at each subsequent winding forming an external thread; and an internally threaded multi-ply sleeve comprising a spiral wound second multi-ply material, wherein the second multi-ply material includes an inner ply and one or more outer plies, wherein the inner ply is narrower than the one or more outer plies, wherein subsequent windings of the outer plies abut each other such that the inner ply leaves a gap at each subsequent winding forming an internal thread.

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.

A cartridge for a cosmetic product includes a first longitudinal end for allowing access to the cosmetic product and a second longitudinal end. The cartridge further includes: an outer tube; a control sleeve; a receptacle for cosmetic product; and a bottom element, integral in rotation with the control sleeve. The cartridge is configured so as to be detachably coupled to a base such that a relative rotation of the base in relation to the cartridge causes a movement of the receptacle for cosmetic product. The bottom element contributes to closing off access to the cartridge via the second longitudinal end of the cartridge.

A discardable cartridge (310) having a limited quantity of a lip balm that is loaded into a closable applicator container, such as a piece of jewelry or a wearable accessory. The cartridge includes a rigid or resilient upper base (312) having a convex or flat top surface (314) upon which the lip balm is associated, and a volume of lip balm attached to the top surface of the base. The flat or convex top surface allows wiping the balm onto the lips single-handedly. The top surface of the cartridge includes a plurality of integrally-attached bristles (330, 332), between which the lip balm is embedded, anchoring the lip balm to the cartridge, and providing the additional function of exfoliation.
