The present invention concerns a container and a closure comprised of a dual layer biodegradable composite material. In addition, the invention concerns a method for forming such container and closure, as well as use thereof. In particular, the present invention concerns a container suitable to be used with liquid cosmetic product, especially for such exposed for hot moist environmental conditions.

A cosmetic device and related methods of manufacturing and using a cosmetic device. The device may comprise a porous part formed using a soluble filler and a non-porous part molded to the porous part.

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.

Discloses is a method for manufacturing a dual cosmetic container. The method includes: molding an inner preform 40 or 40a formed with a patterned portion having one or more shapes selected from characters, pictures, figures, and helical grooves on the outer surface thereof using an upper mold 10 for the inner preform having a molding space 11 and formed with a pattern molding portion 12a on the inner circumferential surface thereof and an lower mold 14 for the inner preform having a molding space 15 for a discharge portion; inserting the inner preform 40 or 40a into a molding space 21 of an upper mold 20 for an outer preform, fixing a discharge portion 41 of the inner preform 40 or 40a to a lower mold 23 for the outer preform, feeding a liquid raw material into the molding space 21 of the upper mold 20 for the outer preform, and molding the outer preform 50 in close contact with the outer surface of the inner preform 40 or 40a formed with the patterned portion 42; and simultaneously heating the inner preform 40 or 40a and the outer preform 50 molded in close contact with each other, inserting the two heated preforms into a molding space 31 of a blow mold 30, inserting a blow tube 32 into the discharge portion 41 of the inner preform 40 or 40a, and simultaneously expanding the inner preform 40 or 40a and the outer preform 50 by blow molding to manufacture the desired dual cosmetic container in which an inner container 100 or 100a and an outer container 200 are in close contact with each other.

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

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.

The invention relates to a mascara applicator having an elongate general shape defining a longitudinal axis and includes projections. At least one of the projections forms a loop defining a through-hole having a main opening axis forming an angle of more than 45 with a plane radial to the longitudinal axis of the applicator.

A cosmetic or therapeutic mask retainer which is thermoformable so as to allow the facemask to remain in position on a user's face when in use. Specifically, the present invention relates to a multi-layered retainer for therapeutic or cosmetic purposes comprising a gelatinous elastomer layer, optional internal fabric layer, a thermoformable plastic layer, and a fabric strap layer. The thermoformable plastic is preferably a plastic that can be heated to temperatures that allow it to be molded but also so that human skin can withstand the heat, such as EVA or PCL. The facemask can be one, two, three, or four components when in use and may be formed by creating a variety of composites between the various layers.

A pencil for applying a coloring and/or cosmetic substance, having a pigment core composed of the substance that is to be applied and a one-piece injection-molded casing encompassing the pigment core that is composed of a thermoplastic material that consists of a mix of a first plastic and a second plastic, wherein the casing, respectively viewed in the radial direction, has an outer enrichment zone with a higher concentration of the first plastic than in the middle region and the casing, respectively viewed in the radial direction, has an inner enrichment zone with a higher concentration of the first plastic than in the middle region.
