Cosmetic materials can be blended and otherwise repurposed with a cosmetic repurposing system that positions a screen above a void of a base before inserting a cosmetic material atop the screen and forcing the cosmetic material through the screen into the void to fill a container positioned in the void with cosmetic material powderized by the screen.

Disclosed is a press-molding apparatus for a cosmetic patch, suitable for use in cutting a piece of patch fabric to a predetermined shape while being pressed using a press, including: a planar pressing plate, which forms a pressing portion of the press; at least one cutter, which is fixedly secured to the lower surface of the pressing plate and protrudes therefrom so as to cut the piece of patch fabric through pressing of the press, and is formed in a cylindrical shape so that a plurality of stacked pieces of patch fabric is simultaneously cut and the cut pieces of patch fabric are received in the space inside the cutter; and an ejector, which separates the pieces of patch fabric received in the cutter from the cutter.

The invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product including a first part and a second part that extend along a longitudinal direction of extension from a proximal end towards a free distal end of the applicator, the first part and the second part being configured to form parts for applying the cosmetic product, one of the parts is mounted mobile in for translational with respect to the other of the parts, from at least a first retracted position, to a second deployed position, the first and second parts are configured to form together a variable volume reservoir, intended to contain the cosmetic product and that has a first volume when the parts occupy the first retracted position and a second volume when the parts occupy the second deployed position.

Cosmetic blenders and applicators, and more particularly to a soft, resilient blender system that includes an open-cell memory foam surface portion that is easily cleanable or optionally disposable in combination with a resilient core and a fluid impermeable boundary between the surface portion and the resilient core. Further, variations of the blender provide a patterned surface structures for makeup pickup and release together tamping features and user-controlled variable stiffness surface tamping features.

Systems and methods suitable for making skin-formulation applicators through additive manufacturing are described.

A cosmetic applicator includes a non-porous base and a first porous cushioning member molded onto the base that is configured to retain a predetermined amount of cosmetic formulation. A method of forming a cosmetic applicator includes forming a non-porous base and forming a first porous cushioning member on the base.

The method comprises the following steps: (a) supplying at least one cosmetic material and supplying at least one photoactivatable material; (b) forming a layer (19) comprising on at least a first region of the layer (19), a photoactivatable material supplied in step (a); (c) illuminating at least the first region of the layer (19) to activate the photoactivatable material; (d) forming an additional layer (19) on at least a second region of the additional layer (19), a photoactivatable material supplied in step (a), (e) illuminating at least the second region of the additional layer (19) to activate the photoactivatable material; (f) repeating steps (d) to (e) until the three-dimensional object is formed.
The cosmetic composition comprised in the three-dimensional object or forming the three-dimensional object being recoverable after the three-dimensional object is formed.

The disclosure provides a method of fabricating an applicator member for applying a liquid cosmetic, the method comprising a step of making a porous core out of sintered material and a step of overmolding a shell on the porous core, the shell including at least one inlet orifice for admitting liquid cosmetic into the core and at least one dispenser orifice for dispensing liquid cosmetic by means of the core. The disclosure also provides an applicator member obtained by the method and an applicator comprising such an applicator member and a reservoir.

A method and kit for reconstituting broken fragments of a cosmetic, such as pressed powder cosmetics, are provided which enable a user to recombine or reconstitute such fragments in the original cosmetic packaging. The kit comprises a foamable liquid composition, spreading implement, and at least one pressing implement. Applying embodiments of the foamed liquid composition on fragmented cosmetic material, pressing or packing the mixture comprising the liquid composition and fragmented cosmetic material, and then smoothing the composition by pressing it again within its original casing, in accordance with embodiments of the method, may avoid wasting broken cosmetic fragments and further allows a consumer to use the reconstituted cosmetic for its original purpose.

Disclosed is a hydrogel discharge device including a capsule introduction unit, into which a plurality of capsules each receiving a hydrogel dosage form is introduced, a dosage form transfer unit including a plurality of channels, along which the hydrogel dosage forms received in the capsules move, a dosage form spray unit for discharging the hydrogel dosage forms supplied from the dosage form transfer unit, and a dosage form solidification unit for solidifying the hydrogel dosage forms discharged from the dosage form spray unit, whereby it is possible to easily and conveniently manufacture a mask pack.
