Abstract: A composition dispenser with dynamically adjustable protrusions/bristles for delivery of a cosmetic composition to a substrate, particularly hair coloring agents. The composition dispenser comprises a protrusion unit including one or more protrusion elements and at least one dispensing orifices appointed for fluidic communication with a formulation reservoir. The protrusion unit is operably coupled to a length-adjustment element configured to adjust an exposed protrusion length of the protrusion elements along a direction perpendicular to a rotation plane of the length-adjust element.

Abstract: Packaging systems include a container having a mouth, a workpiece, and an insert configured to receive the workpiece and to retain the workpiece within the mouth of the container in an axially aligned configuration. The insert has an annular wall with an outer surface that tapers from a first outer diameter proximal a first end thereof to a second outer diameter proximal a second end thereof. The second outer diameter is greater than the first outer diameter, and the first end is configured for insertion into the mouth of the container before the second end.

Abstract: Cosmetic assemblies are movable between a resting state and a compressed state. The cosmetic assemblies include an applicator and an actuator. The applicator is at least partially formed of a compressible material that is biased toward the resting state, and the actuator is configured to actuate the applicator between the resting state and the compressed state. In the resting state, the applicator displaces a first volume and has a first outer dimension. In the compressed state, the applicator displaces a second volume that is less than the first volume, and the applicator has a second outer dimension that corresponds to and exceeds the first outer dimension.

Abstract: An adjustable applicator head with protrusion elements and a dispensing orifice in fluidic communication with a formulation reservoir operably coupled to a sliding length-adjustment element configured to adjust an exposed protrusion length of the protrusion elements along a direction parallel to a central axis of the length-adjustment element. The applicator can be refilled and re-used and is adjustable for different lengths of hair and hair styles. The tines or bristles can be replaced with foam applicators, sponges, or other surfaces for various applications, such as skincare, makeup or makeup removal.
