Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016020473A1] The invention relates to a cosmetic applicator (1), in particular in the form of a mascara applicator with a core (2) which has a border consisting of fingers (4) that protrude from the core, preferably in the form of bristles. The aim of the invention is to provide a solution for a cosmetic applicator which exhibits an increased material storage capability without substantially impairing the other relevant application properties. This is achieved in that the border has adjacent fingers (4) which are connected together by a flat element (5) that integrally adjoins the circumferential casing surface of both fingers (4) and the core (2) and has a thickness (D) in a direction perpendicular to the main surfaces (6) of the flat element, said thickness being lower than the maximum diameter (Dmax) of each of the bristles which are thus connected.
