Abstract: A liquid dispenser includes a bottle having a lower portion, an upper portion, and a neck portion located above the upper portion. The upper portion and the neck portion are vertically aligned with a central vertical axis. A pump is coupled to the neck portion and dispenses liquid by moving the pump from an un-depressed position to a depressed position. The pump includes a pump mechanism, an orifice in fluid communication with the pump mechanism to enable liquid to be dispensed, and a tube in fluid communication with the pump mechanism and extending into the lower portion. A shroud forms at least a portion of the outer surface of the pump. The shroud is positioned to cover the neck portion and a portion of the upper portion in the un-depressed position and cover the neck portion and a larger portion of the upper portion in the depressed position.

Abstract: A lip balm applicator product comprises upper and lower portions that are connectable together to define the applicator product being of a substantially spherical shape. A support platform is located in the lower portion and accommodates a quantity of lip balm having an arcuate surface. A lip balm comprises a composition of waxes and oils in solid form and formed to have an arcuate surface. The composition is formed to have the arcuate surface using a hot pour process. A method of manufacturing a lip balm comprises providing a receptacle having a concave arcuate surface. A lip balm material in a heated, liquefied phase is poured into the receptacle. Once poured, the heated, liquefied phase is allowed to solidify such that a surface of the solidified lip balm material has an arcuate configuration that corresponds to the concave arcuate surface of the receptacle.
