  • axle 4 can extend in the channel of the body 2 or in the conduit of the member 3 to the outlet orifice.
  • the product may not come into direct contact with said channel and said conduit.
  • the axle 4 can form alone a product distribution pipe ( Figure 8).
  • Such an embodiment avoids any sealing problems related to the assembly of the member 3 on the body 2.
  • the covering shell houses a system for rotating the member 3.
  • This system operates independently of the product distribution system.
  • Such a system may comprise a motor 7 connected to a power source 8 controlled by a control member 9. This motor rotates the member 3 by a transmission system of the gear type 23.
  • the power source 8 may comprise a battery formed by one or more batteries.
  • the motor 7 can be powered by the mains.
  • the control member 9 allows the user to selectively turn on or off the power supply of the motor 7. This control member 9 can make it possible to select different speeds of rotation of the motor 7.
  • a member can form an electrical switch with a rotary selector protruding from the covering shell so as to be able to be placed in different positions such as a first off position, a second position corresponding to a first rotational speed, and a third position corresponding to a second rotational speed.
  • the control member 9 can in particular comprise a continuous variator of the speed of rotation of the motor 7 for a finer adjustment of the desired massage, and in particular according to the massage member 3 set up and the skin surface. to massage.
  • the transmission system of the gear type 23 for example consisting of a plurality of gear wheels, cooperates with the ring gear 20 of the body 2 to drive it in rotation.
  • the rotational drive of the body 2 then makes it possible to transmit this rotational movement to the member 3.
  • the transmission system of the gear type 23 forms a means of reducing the speed of rotation of the massage member making it possible to increase the couple.
  • the axis of rotation Y may extend along an axis distinct from the longitudinal axis X of the container.
  • this axis Y may extend obliquely or perpendicularly to this axis X.
  • the axis X and the axis Y may together define an angle ⁇ , said angle being between 90 ° and 180 ° and preferably between 100 and 140 ° and more preferably between 105 and 120 °.
