A cosmetic container having an absorption member impregnated with liquid contents, is characterized in that the absorption member, made of a porous material and impregnated with liquid contents, is compressed when a piston ascends with the rotation of a rotation body, whereby the impregnated liquid contents are withdrawn to an upper portion thereof for being used, thereby providing the same usability as solid lip stick products which are familiar to users and improving spreading properties.

The present invention provides devices for dispensing topical pharmaceutical compositions. In some embodiments, the dispensing device possesses a reservoir for storing the composition and means for metering the composition. In some embodiments, such reservoirs are: i. made from, or substantially lined with, a material that opaque and/or substantially nondepleting of at least one component of the composition; ii. optionally, volumetrically compressible; and iii. fitted with the means for metering the composition. And the means for metering are adapted to measure a fixed amount of the composition for application to a dermal region of a user of the device. In some embodiments, the compositions has a specific gravity in the range of from about 0.85 to about 1.20 at about room temperature and comprises a medicament; a thickening agent; and a solvent, and optionally a skin penetration enhancer and/or a deodorant.

A system for holding a stick in a casing includes an inner cup provided with a plurality of at least partially flexible claws that can assume two positions:—an open position, in which the claws allow the stick to be inserted into the inner cup;—a blocked position in which the claws can penetrate into the stick previously inserted into the inner cup in order to block it; the system further including an outer cup of which the dimensions are designed to allow the claws to shift from the open position to the closed position, and elements for locking the inner cup in the outer cup when the claws are in the blocked position.

A consumer care product includes a dispensing package. The dispensing package includes a product chamber and an outer jacket surrounding the product chamber. The product chamber includes a movable elevator platform operatively associated with a spindle of a screw assembly. The product chamber or the outer jacket includes a ratchet non-removably associated with the outer jacket or the product chamber.

Containers for products such as glue sticks are provided. The containers include a valve and a mechanical device for advancing a product through the container and for opening the valve. The mechanical device includes a screw component having a base portion and a threaded portion, a valve lifter component selectively slidable between a retracted position, in which the valve is closed, and alternatively an extended position, in which the valve is open, a biasing element that engages and applies force to the valve lifter component, and an elevator component for advancing the product through the container.
