Abstract

A package for holding a product has a structure with a hollow interior that defines a volume. The interior can store the product. The structure has an exterior side with an aperture. The package has a first member connected to the exterior side for selectively closing the aperture, opening the aperture and covering the aperture. The package has a second member connected to the structure for manipulating the structure. The product is applied to a user's skin through the aperture when the first member opens the aperture. The package is disposed so that the product is applied without the product contacting the user's hands.
