Abstract

A cosmetic preparation dispenser is provided that has an incremental feel created by the interaction of a resilient tab extending outwardly from the dispenser's innerbody with a plurality of rib elements provided on a surrounding wall of a cam sleeve so that the tab cams up and down on the ribs to increase and decrease resistance to relative rotation of innerbody and cam sleeve to give the desired incremental feel.
