cosmetic system 100 may be user configurable. Therein, a user could choose from a plurality of cosmetic components for either the first or the second container or for both. For example, a user may select from different facial washes for the first container and/or from a different exfoliating materials for the second container as desired by the user. - In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, the first and second containers are typically sized such that each has substantially equivalent number of usage portions in each. Therein, both containers would become empty at the same time permitting a user to avoid having leftovers. In another embodiment the cosmetic compositions in the first and second containers may be sold to the consumer separately for subsequent assembly by the consumer. One or both of the separately sold products may include indicia directing the purchaser to purchaser the other product and may further include instructions for use including assembly. By separate purchase the consumer would be able to select a particular cosmetic composition in the first or second from among a variety of offerings, for example, a cleanser for oily skin or for dry skin, or an exfoliating beads product for delicate or normal skin. Separate sale also permits the consumer to replace one of the first or second containers when the cosmetic compositions in the packaging system are not used up at the same time.
- A typical cosmetic composition for use in the first container of the packaging system is an aqueous based cleanser, typically a cleanser adapted for facial cleansing. The cleanser thus would contain one or more surfactants, typically including an anionic surfactant and also generally including a nonionic surfactant. Among the anionic surfactants mention may be made of sodium laureth to laureth-12 sulfate and disodium laureth to laureth-12 sulfosuccinate. Among the nonionic surfactants mention may be made of laureth-16 to laureth-40, PEG-20 to PEG-80 sorbitan laurate, PEG-120 methyl glucose dioleate, and ceteareth-1 to ceteareth-45. An illustrative listing of surfactant cleansers appears in International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook, v. 4, Section 4, p. 2955-62 (Ninth Ed. 2002) (hereinafter “INCI”). The cleanser may further include pH adjusting agents; viscosity enhancing agents, amphoteric/zwitterionic surfactants such as cocoamidopropyl betaine; humectants; emollients; botanicals to provide skin improvements benefits, for example, oat protein, banana extract, vanilla planifolia extract, willow extract, etc.; preservatives; fragrances; chelating agents, and colorants.
- The exfoliating beads contain one or more granular materials of a size and shape adapted to abrade the skin to gently remove dead skin cells. Suitable granular materials have an average particle size of from about 50 to 500 microns, preferably about 75 to about 250 microns, and most preferably from about 75 to 200 microns. The shape is usually irregular, but without sharp features, but may also be more uniformly ovate, including spherical. Suitable materials include seeds of plants in powder form, e.g., apricot seed powder, adzuki seed powder; shells of nuts in powder form, such as walnut shell powder; synthetic materials such as polyethylene powder; silica; pumice. Illustrative abrasive materials suitable for use to exfoliate skin are identified in INCI, v. 4, Section 4, p. 2878.
