  • Patent number: 10874203
    Abstract: An applicator for cosmetic product is disclosed, in particular for mascara, extending in a main longitudinal extension direction, referred to as the main direction, between a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end. The applicator includes a structural support element, referred to as a support, and at least one branch. The support and the branch are interconnected by means of an articulation rigidly connected to the support.
