Packaging System for a Cosmetic System

Abstract

A packaging system for a cosmetic system includes a reduced-space packaging unit having a first container and a second container. The first container stores and dispenses a first cosmetic component and the second container (stores and dispenses a second cosmetic component. The first container includes a closure to which the second container mounts.

         2 . The packaging system of  claim 1 , wherein the first container comprises a first peripheral shape and the second container comprises a second peripheral shape, the peripheral shapes having matching cross-sections to form a continuous peripheral shape of the reduced-space packaging unit. 
     
     
         3 . The packaging system of  claim 2 , wherein the peripheral shape of the reduced-space packaging unit is cylindrical. 
     
     
         4 . The packaging system of  claim 1 , wherein the first container comprises a pliable body material and the second container comprises a rigid body material. 
     
     
         5 . The packaging system of  claim 4 , wherein the first cosmetic component comprises a liquid cosmetic and the second component comprises a granular cosmetic. 
     
     
         6 . The packaging system of  claim 5 , wherein the first cosmetic component comprises a face wash and the second component comprises an exfoliating agent. 
     
     
         7 . The packaging system of  claim 4 , wherein the closure is a toggle cap, and second container comprises a closure having a spout, wherein the closures are selected for ease of dispensing the respective cosmetic component. 
     
     
         8 . The packaging system of  claim 1 , wherein the first container comprises a shoulder having a downward slope from a central portion to the peripheral edge and the second container comprises a base having a shape matching the shoulder to provide a substantially uninterrupted peripheral shape of the reduced-space packaging unit. 
     
     
         9 . The packaging system of  claim 1 , wherein the second container comprises a plurality of staves on an inner peripheral wall to bear against the closure of the first container. 
     
     
         10 . The packaging system of  claim 1 , wherein the reduced packaging unit comprises a peripheral shape that is constant in cross-section. 
     
     
         11 . The packaging system of  claim 10 , wherein the peripheral shape consists of a single interruption at an interface formed between the first container and the second container. 
     
     
         12 . The packaging system of  claim 1 , wherein the cosmetic system consists of the first and second cosmetic components. 
     
     
         13 . The packaging system of  claim 12 , wherein the first and second cosmetic components work cooperatively. 
     
     
         14 . The packaging system of  claim 1 , wherein the first container and the second container are sized to provide substantially identical number of uses of the respective first and second cosmetic component. 
     
     
         15 . A packaging system comprising:
 a first container and a second container, second container removably mountable to the first container to form a reduced-space package for ease of use by a user;   a cosmetic system comprising a first and a second cosmetic component selectable by the user;   the first cosmetic component stored in the first container and dispensable therefrom; and   the second cosmetic component stored in the second container and dispensable therefrom.   
     
     
         16 . The packaging system of  claim 15 , wherein the first and second cosmetic components a work cooperatively. 
     
     
         17 . The packaging system of  claim 16 , wherein the first cosmetic component comprises an aqueous based cleanser or a gel cleanser and the first container comprising a pliable body toggle cap to dispense the aqueous based cleanser easily. 
     
     
         18 . The packaging system of  claim 17 , wherein the second cosmetic component comprises an exfoliating granular agent and the second container comprising a rigid body and a spout to dispense the exfoliating granular agent easily. 
     
     
         19 . The packaging system ( 10 ) of  claim 18 , wherein the first container ( 20 ) and the second container ( 40 ) are sized to provide substantially identical number of uses of the respective first and second cosmetic component. 
     
     
         20 . The packaging system ( 10 ) of  claim 15 , wherein the reduced packaging unit ( 60 ) comprises a peripheral shape ( 60   a ) that is constant in cross-section.
