Abstract
A container for a pasty cosmetic product has a wall defining an internal chamber. At least part of the wall is flexible. The container has a neck that provides access to the internal chamber. An applicator projects into the container and is attached to a cap that closes the container about the neck. Squeezing the flexible wall portion of the container permits the user to deposit product onto the applicator that would otherwise be inaccessible, thereby avoiding waste of product adhered to the inner wall of the container. This permits access by the consumer to a larger percentage of the contained product than has typically been possible in the traditional container.
