  • a moisturizing or soothing base in the form of a milk or a cream, which the user can combine with a separate product, in the form in particular of a powder or cream, containing a filter for protection against UV radiation, and which can be chosen from a plurality of powders containing filters with different degrees of protection, so that adapt the protection of your skin to your needs. So for the first few days exposure to the sun, it is desirable to use a product with a high index of protection, then, over the days, it is possible to use products with an index of weaker protection.
  • an applicator capsule forming a unit for applying a specific product, suitable for use in combination with an auxiliary container containing an action product complementary to the action of the specific product contained in the capsule applicator.
  • an applicator capsule comprising a support, having means capable of allowing the fixing of the capsule removably on a container, containing a first product, a applicator member, in particular in the form of a compressible element elastically, being mounted on the support and being able to convey said first product from an orifice in the support to an application face of said applicator member, said applicator member being so covered removable by a cap mounted on the support, and in the bottom of which is placed a second product, in particular in the form of a solid bread or a powder, said application surface being suitable, in the mounted position of the cap, for be placed in elastic support on said second product.
  • the product contained in the cap does not contaminate the product contained in the container.

  • the user first chooses the capsule 1 containing the powder of the color she wants. She mounts the capsule on the bottle 101. Before opening of the cap 11, or after this opening, the user presses the piston 106 so as to raise a certain quantity of cream P1 in the axial channel 24 of the applicator member 20, which is thus loaded both with cream P1, in particular inside the channel 24, and colored powder P2 on the application face 21.
  • the rise of the product P1 in the channel 24 can result from the simple depression caused by the expansion of the foam of the applicator member 20, at the opening of the cap 11.

Strength support generated by the compression of the applicator member inside the capsule is not sufficient to cause the valve 50 to open. The rest of the capsule conforms to the applicator capsule of FIG. 1A.
  • the applicator capsule of FIG. 1D is represented in FIG. 2C, in position mounted on an application assembly 100, formed of a flexible-walled bottle 121 containing a moisturizing milk, and having an orifice 122.
  • the product P2 contained in the applicator capsule 1 is a loose powder containing a sunscreen.
  • the user mounts the applicator capsule 1 on the bottle. containing the powder with the desired sun protection index. She removes the cap 11 and places the application face 21 covered with powder P2, in abutment on the surface to be treated, so as to cause the valve 50 to open. It then exerts pressure on the walls of the bottle so as to cause the exit of the product P1 through the orifice 6, and its transport on the face application 21 via the pores of the foam forming the application member. The mixture is then spread by moving the application face adequately on the surface to be treated. By releasing the pressure from the application face 21 on the surface to be treated, the valve 50 closes under the return force of the spring 51. A again, the presence of the valve, allows the applicator capsule, after being supplied with product P1, especially at the start of the day, to be used independently during the rest of the day.
