Abstract

A beauty care product comprising a sealable plastic container, a sealing means and a beauty care component is provided, wherein the container of which is resistant to random, uncontrolled deformation under a substantial pressure differential between the environment and inside the container, yet having an affordable cost of manufacture and/or being appealing to the consumer. A kit comprising said product thereof, a method of manufacturing said product, and a method of using said product for application onto skin and/or hair are also provided.

Claims (25)

1. A beauty care product comprising:

(a) a sealable plastic container comprising a base section, a body section, and a neck section forming an aperture; said sections delimiting an inner reservoir;

(b) a sealing means, affixed onto the neck section of the container;

(c) a beauty care component, contained within the reservoir of the container;

wherein the reservoir comprises upon storage no more than about 70% of the component by total volume of the reservoir, the remaining volume being filled with gas; wherein the body section is four-paneled and comprises a non-collapsible squeezable front panel, two symmetrical collapsible side panels and a non-collapsible squeezable back panel; wherein the ratio of the average thicknesses between front and/or back panels and the side panels is at least 2:1.

2. The product according to claim 1 , wherein the side panels are temporarily deformable in response to a substantial pressure differential between the environment and inside the reservoir of the container.

3. The product according to claim 1 , wherein the front and/or back panels have an average thickness of from about 0.50 mm to about 3 mm.

4. The product according to claim 1 , wherein the sides panels have an average thickness of from 0.25 mm to about 1.5 mm.

5. The product according to claim 1 , wherein the container further comprises a shoulder section, joining the body section to the neck section.

6. The product according to claim 1 , wherein the reservoir has a total volume of from about 20 ml to about 1500 ml.

7. The product, according to claim 1 , wherein the remaining volume of the reservoir is filled with ambient air.

8. The product according to claim 1 , wherein the body section is an extended hollow body section; and wherein the panels are substantially non-planar relative to the horizontal plane.

9. The product, according to claim 1 , wherein the panels are substantially non-planar relative to the horizontal plane.

10. The product according to claim 1 , wherein the container has a width of from about 20 mm to about 105 mm, a length of from about 20 mm to about 80 mm, and a height of from about 50 mm to about 300 mm.

11. The product according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing means is releasably-affixed onto the neck section of the container.

12. The product according to claim 1 , wherein the component is a hair coloring and/or hair bleaching component comprising a total amount of oxidizing agent ranging from about 3% to about 12%, by weight of the total component.

13. The product according to claim 1 , wherein the container is made of plastics.

14. The product according to claim 13 , wherein the container is made of high-density polyethylene.

15. The product according to claim 1 , wherein the beauty care component is a hair coloring and/or hair bleaching component comprising a total amount of oxidizing agent ranging from about 3% to about 12%, by weight of the total component.

16. The product according to claim 1 , the container is made of high-density polyethylene and is substantially free of polyethylene terephtalate.

17. A beauty care kit comprising:

(a) a beauty care product comprising: sealable plastic container comprising a base section, a body section, and a neck section forming an aperture; said sections delimitating an inner reservoir; a sealing means, affixed onto the neck section of the container; a beauty care component, contained within the reservoir of the container; wherein the reservoir comprises upon storage no more than about 70% of the component by total volume of the reservoir, the remaining volume being filled with gas; wherein the body section is four-paneled and comprises a non-collapsible squeezable front panel, two symmetrical collapsible side panels and a non-collapsible squeezable back panel; wherein the ratio of the average thicknesses between front and/or back panels and the side panels is at least 2:1;

(b) at least one additional product, selected from the group consisting of a product comprising a packaged component, a tool, an instruction sheet, or combinations thereof.

18. The kit according to claim 17 , wherein the packaged component is selected from a tint component comprising at least one primary precursor, a component comprising at least one secondary precursor, a conditioning component comprising at least one conditioning active ingredient.

19. The kit according to claim 17 , wherein the beauty care component is a hair coloring and/or hair bleaching component comprising a total amount of oxidizing agent ranging from about 3% to about 12%, by weight of the total component.
