Deformable absorbent substrate for a packaging and/or application assembly for a cosmetic product

The invention relates to a deformable absorbent substrate for a packaging and/or application assembly for a cosmetic product, having cells defined by ridges. The ridges may be created in particular by means of additive manufacturing, in particular by selective laser sintering, selective laser fusion, stereolithography, or fused filament fabrication.

Claims preview

1 . A packaging assembly for a cosmetic product, comprising at least one receptacle intended to receive the cosmetic product, an absorbent substrate, received in the receptacle, and a cover for closing the receptacle, the packaging assembly further comprising a housing, receiving the receptacle, a cosmetic product applicator member, and a cap for closing the housing, wherein the absorbent substrate has cells defined by ridges, the ridges being raised or protruding structures each cell being a geometric shape formed by the ridges which is repeated to form a network, the ridges being created by additive manufacturing, the ridges being cylindrical with a cross-section chosen from a group consisting of a polygonal cross section, a round cross section and an oblong cross-section. 2 . The packaging assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the ridges are created by selective laser sintering, selective laser melting, stereolithography, or fused filament fabrication. 3 . The packaging assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the absorbent substrate extends in a main direction, the ridges being shaped to extend substantially in a same plane when the absorbent substrate is compressed by pressure in the main direction.
