Ball Bearing Lotion Applicators

The 'Roll-A-Lotion' Applicator is a Soothing Way to Apply Creams

— December 19, 2016 — Fashion
Roll-A-Lotion is an effective way to apply lotion and creams to awkward, hard-to-reach areas, like along one's back. The clever device uses plastic ball bearings to evenly disperse whatever lotion one fills it with, ensuring a consistent and simple beauty regime.

Roll-A-Lotion's head has 19 floating balls that sit within the gentle casing. On the back of that head is a cap that lets consumers fill the applicator with their preferred lotion or cream. As the balls spin within their sockets, they gather thin layers of the product, and this product then gets evenly spread across the consumer's skin. While this system is impressive in and of itself, it also tops other applicators like loofahs because it can be used both in the shower and out.
Trend Themes
1. At-home Beauty Products - Roll-A-Lotion introduces a new and innovative beauty product for at-home lotion and cream application that is both effective and user-friendly, providing opportunities for further development of similar products.
2. Effortless Skincare Regimes - Roll-A-Lotion's ball-bearing technology promises an even layer of lotion or cream all over one's body with minimal effort, presenting new opportunities for skincare brands to create products that provide effortless and consistent skincare routines for consumers.
3. Mechanical Skincare Devices - Roll-A-Lotion's ball-bearing applicator is one of many innovative devices used in the skincare and beauty industry, presenting significant opportunities for the development of new mechanical skincare devices that address specific consumer needs.
Industry Implications
