A flexible substrate including a transparent release, a protective layer disposed on top of the transparent release, a color layer disposed on top of the protective layer, and a carrier layer disposed on top of the color layer, wherein the carrier layer is removably coupled to the flexible substrate and wherein the carrier layer prevents the color layer from transferring, where when the carrier layer is removed and the flexible substrate is applied to a surface, pressure applied to the transparent release results in transferring the protective layer and the color layer to the surface.

Flexible color substrate

Cosmetic assemblies are movable between a resting state and a compressed state. The cosmetic assemblies include an applicator and an actuator. The applicator is at least partially formed of a compressible material that is biased toward the resting state, and the actuator is configured to actuate the applicator between the resting state and the compressed state. In the resting state, the applicator displaces a first volume and has a first outer dimension. In the compressed state, the applicator displaces a second volume that is less than the first volume, and the applicator has a second outer dimension that corresponds to and exceeds the first outer dimension.

Adjustable cosmetic assemblies and applicators

A package comprises a mask; and an inactive heater, wherein the mask includes at least one product layer having infused thereon at least one active, and wherein the inactive heater is located in or in proximity to the mask to transfer heat to the mask upon activation of the heater.

Integrated heater on facial skincare mask

Water-soluble cleansing wipes or pads comprising a water-soluble support and their uses in the cosmetic field for cleansing of the skin are disclosed.

Non-woven water-soluble wipe

A method of protecting an active ingredient before using as a skin treatment includes packaging the active ingredient in a water soluble polysaccharide. The package includes a substrate, comprising a first and second side configured to bring together the water soluble polysaccharide with the active ingredient and a hydrogel, wherein the first side includes the water soluble polysaccharide with the active ingredient on the exterior, and the second half includes the hydrogel on the exterior. Once brought into contact for a sufficient time to allow the polysaccharide to dissolve, at least the hydrogel layer with the infused active ingredient can be peeled from the substrate to use as a facial mask for treating the skin with the active ingredient.

Thin-film vehicles that stabilize highly reactive active ingredients

Makeup removal compositions include at least one branched, alkylated alcohol ester; one or a combination of dialkylated ether and dialkylated carbonate; at least one nonionic surfactant; and at least one vegetable derived oil, wherein the composition is essentially free of water. Articles include the composition infused in a water-insoluble or water-soluble substrate.

Anhydrous compositions and articles for makeup removal

A fitment for a package with an interior compartment for containment of a flowable material is described. The fitment may have a body with an exterior wall and an interior wall. The interior wall may define a passageway extending through the body from a top opening to a bottom opening. The fitment may have at least one dispersion member with an edge extending into the passageway, the edge dividing at least a portion of a width of the passageway extending between the interior wall. The fitment may include a baffle member having a surface extending into, and at least partially obstructing, the passageway. The fitment may include a flange portion associated with the exterior wall, the flange portion positioned to interface the fitment with the package.

Closure

Container

A bottle has a body and an opening at a first end of the bottle. A closure for the opening is movable relative to the body. The bottle, optionally the closure, comprises first and second elements lying in a plane substantially perpendicular to a main axis extending between the first end and an opposite second end of the bottle when the closure is in the closed position, the first and second elements being respective portions of the first end that are furthest along the main axis from the second end. The bottle, optionally the closure, also comprises a recessed portion extending between the first and second elements, the recessed portion being recessed from the plane in a direction along the main axis towards the second end, whereby the first and second elements are separated from each other in the plane by a gap.
