Abstract
The present invention relates to a packaging and applicator device for applying at least one cosmetic composition, the device comprising: a body defining a handle; a block of at least one cosmetic composition; a flat stiffener that is stationary relative to the composition and that extends inside said composition, the block defining a free outside surface that extends over at least a fraction of the height of the stiffener; and a cap that is arranged so as to be fastened on the body, and so as to cover the block.
Claims25
A packaging and applicator device for applying at least one cosmetic composition, the device comprising:
- a body defining a handle;
- a block of at least one cosmetic composition;
- a flat stiffener that is stationary relative to the composition and that extends inside said composition, the block defining a free outside surface that extends over at least a fraction of the height of the stiffener;
- and
- a cap that is arranged so as to be fastened on the body, and so as to cover the block.
A method of manufacturing a packaging and applicator device for applying at least one cosmetic composition, the method comprising:
- a body defining a handle;
- a block of at least one cosmetic composition;
- a stiffener that is stationary relative to the composition and that extends inside said composition, the block defining a free outside surface that extends over at least a fraction of the height of the stiffener;
- and
- a cap that is arranged so as to be fastened on the body, and so as to cover the block;
- in which, while the cap is upsidedown and in place on the body, at least one composition is poured in fluid state through the filler orifice of the body, the cap serving as a mold so as to give the composition its shape while cooling.
A method of reshaping a block of at least one composition of a packaging and applicator device for applying at least one cosmetic composition, the method comprising:
- a body defining a handle;
- a block of at least one cosmetic composition;
- a stiffener that is stationary relative to the composition and that extends inside said composition, the block defining a free outside surface that extends over at least a fraction of the height of the stiffener;
- and
- a cap that is arranged so as to be fastened on the body, and so as to cover the block;
- the method comprising the steps consisting in placing the cap upsidedown in place on the body, and in heating the composition so as to bring it to a temperature at which it becomes fluid, so that, on cooling, the composition takes on the shape of the cap.
