## Abstract

The present invention provides a mascara container including: a pouch-shaped inner container of a film material; and an outer container of an elastic material that covers the outside of the inner container. According to the present invention, highly-viscous mascara content can easily be transferred to an application member when a user lightly squeezes a container, so that the residual mascara content inside the container can easily be discharged to increase the usable amount of content after the mascara is opened, regardless of the duration of use. Accordingly, the effect can be realized of improving eyelash volume by applying a sufficient amount of mascara content.

## Claims

### Claim 1

Mascara comprising:
a mascara container comprising:
a pouch-shaped inner container formed of a film; and
an outer container formed of an elastic material which surrounds the inner container, wherein the mascara container is a dual-structure, squeeze-type mascara container; and
a mascara content contained in the mascara container, the mascara content having a viscosity of 200,000-300,000 cps,
wherein the elastic material is one or more selected from a group consisting of silicone, fluorosilicone, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, urethane rubber and a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE),
wherein the film is a laminated film or a multi-layer film formed of one or more selected from a group consisting of aluminum, nylon, urethane, a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), an olefin resin, polyamide (PA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVAL),
wherein the film is deformed by 1-10 mm when a force of 0.01-0.5 kgf is applied, and
wherein when the mascara container is squeezed, a portion of the outer container is deformed to directly contact with a portion of the inner container, so that the portion of the inner container is deformed.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mascara according to claim 1, wherein the elastic material is deformed by 1-10 mm when a force of 0.2-0.5 kgf is applied.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mascara according to claim 1, wherein the film is a blocking film having blocking property for protecting a mascara content.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The mascara according to claim 1, wherein the inner container comprises a shoulder which is attached to an opening and a wiper which is attachable to and detachable from the shoulder.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The mascara according to claim 4, wherein the shoulder is formed of one or more selected from a group consisting of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), acrylonitrile styrene (AS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), polycyclohexylene dimethylene terephthalate acid (PCTA) and nylon.
