The invention relates to novel multicolour, multitexture and multimaterial cosmetic products as well as to a method for hot casting cosmetic compositions containing fats, in particular an oil.

Said method advantageously renders a mold superfluous and allows the creation of products that include a plurality of compositions such as to produce highly original appearances. Said method also allows the production of products with a very irregular raised designs.

A cosmetic repurposing system and associated apparatuses to enable the extraction and reuse of cosmetic materials that otherwise would be wasted. The compact and portable nature of the cosmetic repurposing system allows for ease of use. Further, the standardization of sizes enable the specific application of the system for use within a variety of compacts, makeup kits and in association with a variety of other cosmetic containment vessels.

An overmolding method for making thermoplastics articles of manufacture, for the perfumery and cosmetics fields, comprises the steps of: a) providing a first plastics material in a form suitable for an injection molding; b) providing an injection press, and molding by the injection press the first plastics material thereby providing a raw molded article of manufacture; c) associating with the raw article of manufacture made in said molding step: d) at least an insert element of a material different from the plastics material thereby providing an assembly of the raw molded article of manufacture and the insert element; and e) overmolding on the assembly at least a second plastics material thereby providing a finished molded article of manufacture.

A method for producing a receptacle, in particular a receptacle for a cosmetic product, includes injecting a material into a moulding cavity in an injection step. The moulding cavity is expanded during the injection step in such a way as to increase the thickness of a wall of the receptacle in a separation step. A receptacle is obtained using such a method and a device is used for implementing said method.

A personal-care applicator comprising at least one stem having a longitudinal axis, a proximal end including a handle, and a distal end opposite to the proximal end, and at least a first plurality of bristles ultrasonically welded to the stem and outwardly extending therefrom according to a first pre-determined pattern, wherein the elongated stem and the at least first plurality of bristles comprise ultrasonically compatible materials, and wherein the bristles are ultrasonically bonded to the stem through a direct ultrasonic bond between a surface of the stem and a lengthwise portion of each of the bristles. Process comprises providing a stem strip, wrapping a continuous yarn around a moving endless band, juxtaposing the continuous stem strip with the band's edge, ultrasonically welding the yarn portions adjacent to the band's edge to the stem strip at a predetermined density, removing the stem strip having the yarn ultrasonically welded thereto from the endless band, and cutting the stem strip into a plurality of applicator components.

A method, a dosing device and a system for manufacturing of a lipstick mine out of at least two pasty substances are described. The method comprises inserting of a first end portion of a dosing device into a form whereby the first end portion of the dosing device comprises at least one outlet nozzle, filling of the first end portion of the dosing device with a first pasty substance, increasing of the gas pressure in the first end portion of the dosing device whereby the first pasty substance through the pressure is pressed out of the at least one outlet nozzle, removing the first end portion of the dosing device out of the form and filling up the form with a second pasty substance.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an article to be applied to the human body, comprising the following steps: digital acquisition of 3D contour data from the region on which the article needs to be applied; producing a mould using the 3D data and a numerical-control manufacturing machine; applying to the mould a coating intended to form the article; and at least partially cutting out the coating to the format of the article.

Method for producing cosmetic products, preferably lipsticks, lip salves or lip glosses, the method including the steps of: providing a containment capsule or pod (7) containing an amount of preparation (1) for cosmetic product lower than 20 g; the pod extending along a central axis to a height H; introducing the pod or capsule (7) into a pouring chamber or seat (6) to at least 2/3 of H; heating the pod or capsule (7) up to a predetermined temperature adapted to cause an at least partial phase change of the preparation (1) for cosmetic product; pouring the preparation (1) for cosmetic product into a sleeve (8) provided with an inner cavity (9) reproducing the negative shape of the poured cosmetic product to be obtained; cooling the cosmetic product poured in the sleeve (8); extracting the poured cosmetic product from the sleeve (8).

A cosmetic product application member comprises: a rod carrier (40); and a rod (38) defining a first end (70) and a second end (72) that are opposite. The first end (70) of the rod (38) is intended to be assembled in the rod carrier (40). The rod (38) and the rod carrier (40) are manufactured from a plastic material composed of a copolyester, in particular a semi-aromatic copolyester.
