Cosmetic Article Comprising A Mesh

Abstract

The cosmetic product article including a solid block of cosmetic product with a breakage index measured at 20° C. of between 0.2 and 20 N, and at least one mesh, arranged such that the product passes therethrough and having through-holes, the largest dimension of which is between 50 and 300 μm.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a cosmetic article especially for the lips.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A lipstick typically comprises a tube and a block of cosmetic product, also called the bullet, housed movably in vertical translation in the tube. The bullet formulation is chosen to obtain the best possible make-up result while ensuring that the bullet offers good strength, especially mechanical and thermal. The proportions of the four main components of the bullet, i.e. waxes, oils, butters and pigments, can therefore be adjusted. The waxes act as structuring elements.[0003]To obtain good make-up results, for example a better color, gloss or matt result, it is preferable to reduce the bullet solidity, for example by increasing the proportion of oils and butters. The formula obtained is then more flexible or more tender. However, this increase lowers the mechanical strength of the bullet, thereby making it more likely to break. In addition, this increase ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The breakage index indicates the mechanical strength of a solid block of cosmetic product, which means that the product is strong enough to prevent it from breaking if it is dropped, knocked, or used. The user of the product only needs to turn the body of the device to push the product forward, without rotating the piston or the product. This is important because it allows the product to pass through a mesh without rotating. This design also makes the device easier to use and apply make up with.

Problems solved by technology

However, this increase lowers the mechanical strength of the bullet, thereby making it more likely to break.

In addition, this increase favors exudation phenomena which not only alter the initial formulation of the bullet but also have a negative visual impact on the consumer.
