LIP BALM WITH SPHERICAL SURFACE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING
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.
1 . A method of making a lip applicator product, comprising a lip product enclosed within a final consumer packaging comprising:
introducing the lip product into a substantially concave portion of the final consumer packaging that is in a substantially inverted position.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the substantially concave portion is at least part of an upper portion of the final consumer packaging.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the substantially concave portion is substantially the interior of the upper portion of the final consumer packaging.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the final consumer packaging further comprises a lower portion.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the final consumer packaging further comprises a lip product platform.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the final consumer packaging further comprises a lip product support.
7 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the lower portion further comprises a lip product support.
8 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the lower portion is detachably connectable to the upper portion.
9 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the lower portion is detachably connectable to the lip product support.
10 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the upper portion is detachably connectable to the lip product support.
11 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the lip product support supports the lip product spaced apart from a portion of an interior surface of the lower portion.
12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the lip product has a multi-dimensional arcuate surface.
13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the lip product has an arcuate surface that corresponds with the substantially concave portion of the final consumer packaging.
14 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the lip product has an arcuate surface that corresponds with the substantially concave portion of the final consumer packaging.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the lip product is affixed to the product support and the lip product extends above the product support away from the lower portion.
16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the introduced lip product is in a liquefied phase.
17 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the introduced lip product is heated.
18 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising solidifying the lip product.
19 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising assembling the final consumer packaging to enclose the lip product.
20 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising assembling the final consumer packaging to enclose the lip product.
21 . The method of claim 20 , wherein assembling the final consumer packaging comprises attaching the lower portion, the upper portion and the lip product support.
22 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the introducing the lip product into the substantially concave portion of the final consumer packaging further comprises passing at least a portion of the lip product through at least a portion of the lip product support.
23 . The method of claim 22 , wherein the lip product support is connected to the upper portion.
24 . The method of claim 23 , assembling the final consumer packaging comprises attaching the lower portion, the upper portion and the lip product support.
25 . The method of claim 24 , wherein the lip product comprises lip balm.
26 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the lip product comprises lip balm.
