Abstract: A pot including a base and a lid, configured to adopt a closed position and an open position, that includes at least one locking strip positioned between a cover and a latching plate of the lid and fixed with respect to the cover, configured to adopt a locked position in which it presses against a rear wall of a latching element, thus holding a claw in a notch in a neck of the base, when the lid is in the closed position, and to adopt an unlocked position, in which the at least one locking strip is moved angularly with respect to its locked position and distant from the rear wall of the at least one latching element, when the lid is in the open position.

Abstract: The invention concerns a pot for a cosmetic product, comprising a base (2) topped by a substantially cylindrical neck defining an opening, and a lid equipped with a seal (6) having a top surface and a bottom surface. The neck of the pot has a rim (203) with an inner periphery comprising a shoulder (204) that forms a concave surface. The seal (6) comprises, on the bottom surface of same, a flexible annular lip (603) that has, on an outer peripheral wall, a convex shape which, when the lid is tightened on the base (2), matches said concave surface over at least a portion of the height of the shoulder (204) and presses sealingly against said rim (203) around the entire inner periphery of same, so as to sealingly close the pot.
