An element for dispensing a mixture of water and cosmetic product, comprising:
- a hollow body, wherein the hollow body forms a shower head;
- a receptacle for receiving a cosmetic product, housed in the hollow body;
- a conduit for supplying water into the receptacle;
- the hollow body defining a downstream chamber connected to the receptacle for receiving a mixture of water and cosmetic product from the receptacle, the element for dispensing comprising:
- at least one nozzle for dispensing the mixture of water and cosmetic product from the element for dispensing;
- the element for dispensing comprising an inner water dispensing nozzle, connected to the water supply conduit, the inner nozzle protruding into the receptacle to define a chamber for mixing water and the cosmetic product contained in the receptacle, the inner nozzle generates drops having an average size of less than 3 mm when the dispensing element is fed so that the mixture of water and cosmetic product is ejected by the dispensing nozzle with a flow rate of less than 1 liter per minute and a pressure less than 5 bars and more than 2 bars, and wherein the inner nozzle extends along an inner nozzle axis (B-B′) into the mixing chamber, facing and axially shifted from a bottom wall of the receptacle.
A device for spraying fluid, comprising:
- a water container or a running water network;
- an element for spraying fluid comprising:
- a hollow body;
- a receptacle for receiving a cosmetic product, housed in the hollow body;
- a conduit for supplying water into the receptacle;
- the hollow body defining a downstream chamber connected to the receptacle for receiving a mixture of water and cosmetic product from the receptacle, the element for spraying comprising:
- at least one nozzle for spraying fluid from the element for spraying;
- the element for spraying comprising an inner water dispensing nozzle, connected to the water supply conduit, the inner nozzle protruding into the receptacle to define a chamber for mixing water and the cosmetic product contained in the receptacle, the inner nozzle generates drops having an average size of less than 3 mm when the dispensing element is fed so that the mixture of water and cosmetic product is ejected by the dispensing nozzle with a flow rate of less than 1 liter per minute and a pressure less than 5 bars and more than 2 bars;
- and
- a water conveyor from the water container or to the running water network to the element, the container, the element and the water conveyor being advantageously jointly movable on a platform.
