  • Patent number: 9113692
    Abstract: A cosmetic applicator and method of manufacturing same, wherein the cosmetic applicator is formed of a substrate and an application element comprising one or more application areas that are cohesively maintained on the substrate in a gapless, side-by-side formation in the presence of wet and/or dry binders. The substrate is subjected to a wetting agent that provides a better bind for the cosmetic slurries as they are printed onto their respective application area. The cosmetic compositions of each cosmetic application area may be different. Various cosmetic effects may be provided to end-users in a portable application.

  • Patent number: 7208168
    Abstract: There is provided a method of forming a segmented composition utilizing the thermal exchange properties of a first component that solidifies when cooled, and a second component that solidifies when heated. When an amount of the heat from the first component is transferred to the coolness of the second component, and vice versa, both the first and second components are provided with structural integrity, thus forming the segmented composition. There is also provided a method and an apparatus that can form a segmented cosmetic composition. The segmented cosmetic composition has at least two components. A first component is preferably a molten wax. A second component is preferably a smectite clay dispersion. One of the components fully surrounds, partially surrounds, or is adjacent to the other component.
