- a base;
a product applicator tongue that projects from the base along an axis (A-A′
), said tongue defining a central cavity;
a massage element disposed in the central cavity, and wherein the massage element comprises a connection rod and an end protuberance with a radial span greater than that of the connection rod, with the protuberance being of spherical shape, and with the massage element and the tongue defining therebetween in the cavity an intermediary product retaining space;
wherein the massage element and the tongue can move in relation to one another transversally in relation to the axis (A-A′
);
wherein the tongue defines a concave front face for applying the product, with the cavity opening into the front face, with the massage element able to be moved to a first configuration extracted away from the front face according to a first direction (D1) substantially normal to the front face and wherein the tongue defines a concave rear face opposite the front face for applying the product, with the cavity opening into the rear face opposite the front face, with the massage element able to be moved to a second extracted configuration according to a second direction (D2) substantially normal to the rear face; and
wherein the applicator further comprises an elastic junction zone between the product applicator tongue and the massage member configured to be deformed elastically and to apply a force to the massage element towards an idle configuration.
