Abstract: The invention relates to a bristle carrier and bristles (1) formed thereon, the surface of the bristles (1) being microstructured at least in segments, in that a plurality of grains (2, 3) protrude haphazardly from the bristle core (4) in the region of the microstructured surface and are connected to the bristle core (4) only along less than 40%, preferably less than 35% of the outer surface thereof, and comprise an average diameter (ØM1, ØM2) of less than or equal to 125 ?m, preferably less than or equal to 90 ?m.

Abstract: Cosmetic or pharmaceutical applicator with a supply of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical fluid provided in the brush outside of the bristle facing, a pump mechanism for dispensing the fluid through or in the bristle facing of the brush, whereupon the bristle facing of the brush is a fixed component of a cartridge which provides a supply of the fluid and which can be inserted into and removed again from the applicator chamber intended for this purpose, preferably without the use of tools.

Abstract: The cosmetics unit comprises a storage container for accommodating a cosmetic substance, an applicator-handle part with an applicator that can be dipped into the cosmetic substance and a handle connected with the applicator, as well as a securing mechanism for detachably securing the applicator-handle part in a closed position in which the applicator is inserted into the storage container. The securing mechanism comprises a swiveling element that can be swiveled about a swiveling axis, which retains, in a final swiveling position, the applicator-handle part in the closed position. The swiveling element is mounted directly on the storage container or on a separate bearing mount attached to the storage container.
