Abstract: A lubricating member for a hair removal device, in which the lubricating member includes a lubricating material, in which the lubricating material includes a polyglutamic acid (PGA) material. Also disclosed is a lubricating composition including: a matrix material and a lubricating material, in which the lubricating material includes a PGA material and the PGA includes at least 5% of the lubricating composition by weight. Also disclosed is a method of forming a corresponding lubricating member.

Abstract: A method of molding a personal care product, a manifold, and a cosmetic product molding apparatus are provided. In one embodiment, the method of molding a personal care product comprises: moving a material through a temperature controlled manifold, opening one or more injection valves between the temperature controlled manifold and one or more mold cavities, injecting the material at a controlled pressure into the one or mold cavities in a closed position to form one or more articles, closing the one or more injection valves between the temperature controlled manifold and one or more mold cavities after injecting the material into the one or more mold cavities, opening the one or more mold cavities, and removing the one or more articles from the one or more mold cavities.
