There is provided a device for dispensing a semi-solid or highly viscous product, such as a cosmetic product or pomade, which tends to vaporize and shrink with the passage of time. The device includes a support member to prevent the product from moving axially, radially or otherwise undesirably within the support member. The inner wall of the support member includes a plurality of radially curved and inwardly extending ribs that support the product therein without fracturing the product when it is inserted into the support member. The ribs support the product to prevent the product from moving axially and orbitally with respect to the support member.

A device for dispensing a semi-solid product that has a tendency to shrink radially with time, said device includes a support member for gripping an outer surface of the product and for supporting the product within said device, said support member comprising: a hollow member having an inner wall, said hollow member having a center axis passing therethrough that is equidistant from all locations on said inner wall; said hollow member being adapted to receive the semi-solid product, wherein the outer surface of the product is flush against said inner wall of said hollow member when initially inserted therein; a plurality of circumferentially spaced ribs disposed axially within said hollow member; and at least one of said plurality of ribs extending non-radially inward from said inner wall of said hollow member to support the product both orbitally about said center axis and centripetally toward said center axis.
