Abstract
A device for receiving, molding, cooling, and dispensing a molten product for skin application. It includes a base with a top surface for holding the solidified product and a mold frame member secured to the base, forming a mold with the top surface to receive the molten material. A closure member mates with the mold frame to form a cap, using locking structures for secure closure. The base and cover have rotary engagement structures like screw threads or bayonets. The device also features radial members for even distribution of the molten material.
