Abstract
Bottle (101) for a cosmetic product containing a volatile solvent, especially for mascara, comprising an opening (106) and a rigid side wall (103) produced as a plastic molding having an inside lateral surface in contact with said cosmetic product and an outside lateral surface (104) to which a label (100) is affixed, said label having barrier properties with regard to the volatile solvent. This label advantageously covers the entire outside lateral surface.
Claims31
A bottle for a cosmetic product containing at least one volatile solvent, notably for mascara, comprising an aperture and a rigid lateral wall molded in a plastic material comprising an inside lateral surface in contact with said cosmetic product and an outside lateral surface on which a label is affixed, characterized in that said label has barrier properties with respect to the volatile solvent,
- wherein the label includes an outside decoration and/or protection layer, an intermediate barrier layer with respect to the volatile solvent and an internal adhesive layer, and
- wherein the outside layer comprises polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), or polypropylene (PP), and bears an imprint on its face facing the intermediate layer.
A method for making a bottle for a cosmetic product including a volatile solvent, notably for mascara, wherein the bottle comprises
- an aperture and a rigid lateral wall molded in a plastic material comprising an inside lateral surface in contact with said cosmetic product and an outside lateral surface on which a label is affixed, characterized in that said label has barrier properties with respect to the volatile solvent,
- wherein the label includes an outside decoration or protection layer, an intermediate barrier layer with respect to the volatile solvent and an internal adhesive layer, and
- wherein the outside layer comprises polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), or polypropylene (PP), and bears an imprint on its face facing the intermediate layer
- characterized in that said method comprises the steps of:
- providing said label;
- inserting said label in a mold;
- and
- injecting said plastic material in the mold so as to produce label molding in the mold.
A bottle for a cosmetic product containing at least one volatile solvent, notably for mascara, comprising an aperture and a rigid lateral wall molded in a plastic material comprising an inside lateral surface in contact with said cosmetic product and an outside lateral surface on which a label is affixed, characterized in that said label has barrier properties with respect to the volatile solvent,
- the bottle further comprising at least one end, wherein the lateral wall and said end consist of different plastic materials, the plastic material of said end having higher barrier properties with respect to the volatile solvent than those of the plastic material of the lateral wall,
- wherein said end forms the bottom of the bottle, and
- wherein the lateral wall consists of HDPE and the bottom consists of HDPE/EVOH.
