Abstract
A single-use cosmetic applicator 1 has an applicator body 2 with a front surface 3 and a rear surface 4. The cosmetic applicator 1 contains a pre-determined quantity of a cosmetic product 5 on only a portion of its front surface 3.
Description
- The present invention relates to a single-use cosmetic applicator.
- Single-use cosmetic applicators, which are supplied with a pre-determined quantity of a cosmetic product, such as make-up, moisturiser, cleanser etc., are known. Such single-use applicators are manufactured from a disposable material substantially fully infused with the appropriate cosmetic product, for example, nail varnish remover, and sealed in a container in multiples or singularly. This results in relatively costly manufacture, since a greater quantity of cosmetic product is applied to the sheet of material than is required. In addition, it is inconvenient for the user if substantially all of the applicator is infused with the cosmetic product, since the user will need to hold the applicator when removed from its packaging. The part of the applicator held by the user's hand will thus transfer cosmetic product to the user's hand, which is obviously undesirable. This is particularly disadvantageous when the product is applied in an area without washing facilities, for example, at sales counters.
- Furthermore, some users prefer to apply some of the cosmetic product to their skin with the hands and merely use the applicator to distribute the product evenly on the skin. This would not be possible if the entire surface of the applicator were infused with the cosmetic product, since application of the applicator to the skin would result in transfer of further product to the skin, thus resulting in uneven application of the cosmetic product. In addition, it would be very difficult to control the amount of cosmetic product transferred from the applicator to the skin, increasing the chances of excessive application of the product.
- It is an object of the invention to overcome the above disadvantages.
- The invention provides a single-use cosmetic applicator as claimed in claim 1.
- In a preferred embodiment of the invention the cosmetic product is located in a sealed bubble pack arranged on the rear surface of the applicator body, so that on bursting of the bubble pack the cosmetic product permeates through the applicator body to the said portion of the front surface. The substantially impermeable membrane is preferably removable from the front surface by peeling to permit use of the cosmetic product.
- In a further preferred embodiment, the cosmetic applicator has a substantially impermeable cover over substantially all of the front surface to protect it from contamination before use. The cover is preferably removable from the front surface by peeling.
- The backing layer serves to protect the applicator and facilitate gripping of the applicator by the user.
- The cosmetic product is preferably arranged substantially centrally of the applicator to aid distribution of the product on the applicator, in use.
- The invention also provides methods of manufacturing a single-use cosmetic applicator as claimed in claims 11 and 16.
- Embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing showing a cross-section through a single-use applicator according to the invention.
- In the drawing, a cosmetic applicator1 has an
applicator body 2 with afront surface 3 for application of the product and arear surface 4. A pre-determined quantity of acosmetic product 5, such as moisturiser, cleanser, toner, make-up, tanning mousse etc., is located substantially centrally of the applicator 1 on therear surface 4. Migration of the product through theapplicator body 2 results in the product also being present on thefront surface 3. - In an alternative embodiment, the
cosmetic product 5 is surrounded by a sealable substantially impermeable membrane in the form of a bubble pack (not shown) to prevent migration of thecosmetic product 5. Thecosmetic product 5 can be released by the user by bursting the impermeable bubble pack. The bubble pack is arranged on therear surface 4, so that the product, when released, will reach thefront surface 3 by migration through theapplicator body 2. The side of the bubble containing theproduct 5 adjacent therear surface 4 should thus be weaker than the opposite side of the bubble to ensure that the product is released on the side facing therear surface 4 to facilitate migration. - A removable, substantially
impermeable cover 6 is arranged across substantially all of thesurface 3 to protect it from contaminants such as dust and moisture prior to use of the applicator 1. Thecover 6 may be made of polyethylene, or of any other suitable material. - The
applicator body 2 may be made of a polyurethane foam. The grade of the polyurethane foam is selected according to thecosmetic product 5 used. Polyurethane foam could be replaced by any other suitable material, such as polyester non-woven material, nitrile butyl rubber sponge or synthetic rubber sponge. - The
rear surface 4, by which the user holds the applicator 1, is backed with abacking layer 7. Thebacking layer 7 serves to protect theapplicator body 2, the user's hands fromcosmetic product 5 and also to facilitate gripping of the applicator 1 by the user. Thebacking layer 7 may also be provided with a handle (not shown) to improve gripping of the applicator 1. Thebacking layer 7 may be attached to thesurface 4 by means of a heat-seal or adhesive to prevent its removal. - In the embodiment shown in the drawing a
peripheral edge 8 of thebacking layer 7 is aligned with aperipheral edge 9 of thecover 6, to which it is attached by means of adhesive or a heat seal. Thecover 6 is thus removably attached to thebacking layer 7, but not to thesurface 3, so that it can be peeled away relatively easily when the applicator 1 is required for use. In an alternative embodiment thecover 6 is attached at its periphery directly to thesurface 3. - In use, the user first removes the
cover 6 by peeling it away from either thefront surface 3 or thebacking layer 7. If there is a bubble pack on the applicator 1 the user then bursts the bubble pack (not shown) to release thecosmetic product 5. If the bubble pack is arranged on therear surface 4, the user should apply additional pressure to thebacking layer 7 to force migration of thecosmetic product 5 through theapplicator body 2, so that theproduct 5 reaches thefront surface 3. Thecosmetic product 5 can be applied to the skin using the fingertips or by rubbing thesurface 3 across the skin. If thecosmetic product 5 is applied using the fingertips, thesurface 3 not covered by the cosmetic product can be used to distribute thecosmetic product 5 evenly on the skin. - The applicator1 can be manufactured using a variety of methods. In one such method, a pre-determined quantity of the
cosmetic product 5 is applied to a sheet of material from which theapplicator body 2 is to be cut. Theapplicator body 2 is cut from the sheet of material. These steps are carried out substantially simultaneously. It is, of course, possible to carry out the steps of applying thecosmetic product 5 to the sheet of material and cutting out theapplicator body 2 sequentially. Preferably, thecosmetic product 5 is applied in spaced portions along the sheet of material so that a plurality of applicators 1 can be manufactured simultaneously. - In an alternative method, a first layer of bubble wrap (not shown) is laid on the material from which the
applicator body 2 is to be cut, and thecosmetic product 5 is inserted thereon. A second layer of bubble wrap is sealed thereover to seal thecosmetic product 5 within the bubble wrap. Again, these steps, as well as cutting theapplicator body 2 from the material, could be carried out substantially simultaneously. Furthermore, a strip of bubble wrap with spaced portions ofcosmetic product 5 could be applied so that a plurality of applicators 1 can be manufactured simultaneously. - In a further alternative method, a recess (not shown) is cut into the sheet of material and the
cosmetic product 5 inserted into the recess before or at the same time as theapplicator body 2 is cut out of the material. - In any of the methods described above, the
cover 6 and thebacking layer 7 are attached to the applicator 1 prior to or after cutting of theapplicator body 2. - It will, of course, be appreciated that variations may be made to the embodiments of the invention described above. For example, the
cover 6 could be provided with perforations around its periphery to facilitate removal from the applicator 1. Alternatively, if means are not be provided for facilitating removal of thecover 6, it could be removed with scissors or a knife. - The
cover 6 could be omitted, particularly if the product is located in bubble pack, and thesurface 3 could be protected by storing the applicator 1 in a small bag or box. If a bubble pack is not used, an impermeable layer could be placed over only that portion of thefront surface 3 containing the product. Similarly, thebacking layer 7 could be omitted. - The cosmetic product S could be applied directly to the
surface 3, so that migration of theproduct 5 through theapplicator body 2 is unnecessary. However, in order to prevent migration of theproduct 5 across thesurface 3, it is preferable to additionally provide a substantially impermeable membrane across the portion ofsurface 3 containing theproduct 5. In an alternative embodiment a layer of impermeable membrane containing theproduct 5 lies on the front surf a and thecover 6 is located thereover so that the cover seals theproduct 5 on the impermeable membrane to prevent its migration across thesurface 3. In a further embodiment, theproduct 5 could be located in a sealed bag located on thesurface 3 or on thesurface 4. Alternatively, thecosmetic product 5 is applied to one side of thecover 6 which is then attached directly to thesurface 3 with theproduct 5 therebetween. - Although the pre-determined quantity of the cosmetic product is located substantially centrally of the applicator1, it could be located on any portion of the
front surface 3. However, a substantially central location improves distribution of the product around the front surface during use, if required. - Although the applicator1 described above is for use with products such as make-up, moisturiser etc. it could also be used with medicinal products such as ointments, antiseptic fluids etc. The terms “cosmetic product” and “cosmetic applicator” should be construed accordingly.
- The
cover 6 and/orbacking layer 7 may carry printed matter, such as instructions for use, trade marks and details of product ingredients. - It will be seen that the embodiments of the applicator1 described above will avoid unnecessary waste of the
cosmetic product 5 and also leave the majority of thefront surface 3 free from contamination by thecosmetic product 5 before the product is used.
