<abstract id="abst" lang="en">
<p id="pa01" num="0001">The present invention relates to a tamper-proof container comprising a container, a cap, and a tamper evidence mechanism, including a female component, a male component, and a locking member. The container to hold contents includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and a wall portion with a cap attached to the top portion of the container. The cap includes an inner portion with orifice and a lid pivotally connected to the inner portion via a hinge for opening and closing the tamper-proof container. The cap further includes a sloped portion at its front region which has a smooth surface for applying the contents directly to the desired area. After contents is filled in the container, the lid is closed for the first time, and the tamper evidence mechanism is secured by locking the male component in the corresponding female component with the locking member provided over the male component.</p>
