Definitions

  • the cosmetic composition is advantageously prepared from at least one first cosmetic product which can be difficult to homogenize, because of its viscosity or its presentation in dispersed form.
  • This first cosmetic product is, for example, in the form of beads comprising a core containing a cosmetic active ingredient and a retention envelope coating the core.
  • the cosmetic composition is for example a cream intended to be applied to a body surface, or more generally the keratin materials, of a user, such as the skin or the keratinous fibers.
  • the cosmetic composition is in particular a formula applied to the hair or a makeup composition intended to be applied in particular to the lips, the face, the cheeks, the eyelids or the eyelashes.
  • Cosmetic product more generally means a product as defined in Council Directive 93/35 / EEC of 30 June 1993.
  • the device is advantageously intended for the preparation of an extemporaneous mixture of cosmetic products to form the cosmetic composition.

Indeed, the final composition must contain the active ingredient in a released form, able to interact with the surface on which it is applied.
  • US-2,726,816 describes a device for crushing a product, but which is not suitable for producing a mixture of cosmetic products.
