Packaged Product Including A Non-Aerosol Container And A Shaving Aid Composition Stored Within
A packaged product and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. The packaged product includes a non-aerosol container and a shaving aid composition. The container includes a pocket. The shaving aid composition is in the form of a post-foaming gel and is stored within the pocket. The container is impermeable to the shaving aid composition during a useful life of the container. The shaving aid composition has a temperature dependent characteristic that enables the shaving aid composition to be stored within the pocket at temperatures below 48° C. without causing a volume of the shaving aid composition to significantly increase during the useful life of the container. The shaving aid composition can be stored within the pocket at temperatures below 48° C. without causing the volume of the shaving aid composition to increase to a magnitude such that the pocket is inadvertently opened during the useful life of the container.

11 . The packaged product of claim 1 , wherein the volume of the pocket is within the range of 2 milliliters and 118 milliliters.
12 . The packaged product of claim 1 , wherein the volume of the shaving aid composition significantly increases if it expands from an initial volume to a subsequent volume that is greater than 30 percent of the initial volume.
13 . The packaged product of claim 1 , wherein the container includes a wall that at least partially defines the pocket.
14 . The packaged product of claim 1 , wherein the useful life of the container is a time period having a duration greater than 1000 days.
15 . A shaving aid composition in the form of a post-foaming gel, the shaving aid composition having a temperature dependent characteristic that enables the shaving aid composition to be stored within a pocket of a non-aerosol container at temperatures below 48° C. without causing a volume of the shaving aid composition to significantly increase during a useful life of the container, and that enables the shaving aid composition to be stored within the pocket at temperatures below 48° C. without causing the volume of the shaving aid composition to increase to a magnitude that causes the pocket to be inadvertently opened during the useful life of the container.
16 . A non-aerosol container, the container comprising:
a pocket for storing a shaving aid composition therein;
wherein the shaving aid composition is in the form of a post-foaming gel;
wherein the container is impermeable to the shaving aid composition during a useful life of the container.
17 . A method for manufacturing a packaged product, comprising the steps of:
providing a non-aerosol container having a pocket;
configuring the container so that the pocket is in an open configuration;
introducing into the pocket an amount of a shaving aid composition; and
configuring the container so that the pocket is in a closed configuration;
wherein the container is impermeable to the shaving aid composition during a useful life of the container; and
wherein the shaving aid composition has a temperature dependent characteristic that enables the shaving aid composition to be stored within the pocket at temperatures below 48° C. without causing a volume of the pocket to significantly increase during the useful life of the container, and that enables the shaving aid composition to be stored within the pocket at temperatures below 48° C. without causing the volume of the shaving aid composition to increase to a magnitude that causes the pocket to be inadvertently opened during the useful life of the container.
