However, since functional raw materials are very unstable in nature, if they are mixed with base raw materials in advance, they are prone to rancidity and deterioration in an unstable state. there was. Therefore, it is better to store the two contents in isolation from each other and mix them just before consumers use the cosmetics.

Accordingly, different types of cosmetics (e.g., liquid first and second contents) are packaged and sold in separate storage containers, and when consumers use them, they put different types of cosmetics in a mixing container and then mix them. It is composed. As such, conventional products have the inconvenience of having to store and carry the contents in separate storage containers and inconvenience when using them.

To solve this problem, Registered Utility Model No. 20-0305757 proposed a cosmetic container in which a serrated cutting blade rotates to remove the blocking plate and mix the two contents. However, in such a container, the serrated cutting blade of the lower container penetrates the upper surface through the bottom of the blocking plate of the blocking member, so the serrated cutting blade made of the same material as the blocking plate can easily become blunt, resulting in only a portion of the cutting being cut. It is easy, and therefore, when the consumer shakes the container, only a portion of the contents contained in the lower container are mixed with the contents of the upper container, causing a problem in that a complete mixture cannot be obtained. In addition, even if the blocking plate was opened, there was also a problem that the separated blocking plate could float freely in the container and block the discharge pipe of the discharge device.
