  • Patent number: 4159028
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming and containerizing a multiphase cosmetic composition such as for example, a cleansing cream-astringent composition comprised of a cream phase and a gel phase combined to form the cosmetic composition or product. The method disclosed herein basically entails directing at least two initially separate and distinct phase compositions to a dispensing head and simultaneously dispensing the at least two phase compositions from the dispensing head into an offset rotatively driven container. Initially the dispensing head is positioned about the lower portion of the container and once dispensing is commenced, the dispensing head is slowly moved vertically from the lower portion of the container to the top thereof and during this movement each phase of the multiphase compositions is simultaneously dispensed therefrom and a stirring effect is achieved by the rotating container and a plurality of stirring rods disposed about the dispensing head.
