Abstract
Container devices, kits, and methods for mixing a heterogeneous composition prior to, during, and/or after use of the composition. A container includes an agitator element disposed in a guide inside the container, as well as an applicator for carrying and applying the composition to a surface. The agitator element is movably disposed within the guide, such that during agitation of the container, the agitator element controllably moves along the guide, through the composition, to mix the composition and increase uniformity of the composition for use. The guide prevents contact of the agitator element with the applicator to prevent damage to the applicator or flocking during agitation. The container is suited for use with cosmetic compositions that can be mixed for use.
Claims20
A container for mixture of a composition, the container comprising:
- an agitator element movably disposed within a guide of an interior of the container, wherein the guide defines a mix volume and is elongated such that the agitator element is movable through the mix volume;
- and
- an applicator disposable within an applicator volume of the interior of the container, wherein the applicator volume is adjacent to, parallel along major axes with, and in fluid communication with the mix volume;
- wherein agitation of the container moves the agitator element through the mix volume.
A container for mixture of a composition, the container comprising:
- a first agitator element and a second agitator element movably disposed within a first guide and a second guide of an interior of the container, respectively;
- wherein the first and second guides define first and second mix volumes and are elongated such that the first and second agitator elements are movable through the first and second mix volumes, respectively, wherein an applicator volume of the interior of the container is configured to receive an applicator therein and is adjacent to, parallel along major axes with, and in fluid communication with the first and second mix volumes, wherein the first and second mix volumes combined with the applicator volume form a composition volume for the composition;
- and
- wherein agitation of the container moves the first and second agitator elements through the first and second mix volumes, respectively.
