The present invention is a vessel for containing consumer products. Parts of the containment vessel are made of material sufficiently capable of being deformed by the mechanical force applied by the hands of the consumer while avoiding accidental opening during shipment or display of the vessel on store shelves. The vessel can be made of a suitable material to display the contents of the containment vessel.

1. A containment vessel for limiting access to the contents of said vessel wherein said vessel comprises:a) a deformable vessel body extending vertically having a plurality of vessel body grooves at a point along the periphery of the upper terminus of said vessel body; b) a base affixed at the end of said vessel body opposite said vessel body grooves; and c) an independently-formed, relatively non-deformable end cap at the end opposite said base, fitting upon and about the periphery of the upper termius of said vessel body, having a plurality of raised beads projection about the periphery of said end cap; wherein upon assembly, said beads engage said grooves, deterring the vertical motion of said end cap from said vessel body, wherein access said containment vessel is achieved when said end cap is twisted in an axial direction in relation to said vessel body until said beads disengage said grooves wherein said end cap is vertically removable from said vessel body.2. The containment vessel of claim 1 wherein the grooves in said vessel body is of sufficient length to require radial rotation of said end cap within and about said vessel body of at least about 30 degrees from its initial locked position to disengage said beads from said grooves, thereby allowing vertical removal of said end cap from said vessel body.3. The containment vessel of claim 1 has a plurality of complementary raised beads located about periphery of said end cap wherein said end cap raised beads engage the complimentary vessel body grooves to limit access to contents of said containment vessel.4. The containment vessel according to claim 3 wherein said end cap raised beads are tapered at their opposite lateral ends to facilitate removal of said raised beads from said complimentary body vessel grooves.5. A containment vessel for limiting access to the contents of said vessel wherein said vessel comprises:a) a deformable vessel body extending vertically having a plurality of vessel body grooves at a point near the periphery of the upper terminus of said vessel body; b) a base affixed at the end of said vessel body opposite said vessel body grooves; and c) an independently-formed, relatively non-deforming end cap at the end opposite said base, fitting upon and about the periphery of the upper terminus of said vessel body, having a plurality of end cap tabs, each tab having a leading end of said tab projecting in a direction enabling engagement of said tab and said groove; wherein upon assembly said tabs engage said vessel body groove, deterring the vertical motion of said end cap from said vessel body, wherein access to said containment vessel is achieved when said vessel body is twisted in an axial direction in relation to said end cap until said tabs disengage said grooves wherein said end cap is vertically removable from said vessel body.6. The containment vessel of claim 5 wherein said end cap comprises a non-deformable material sufficiently stiff to deform said vessel body as said end cap is rotated within and about the periphery of said vessel body in order to deform said vessel body sufficiently to disengage said tabs from said grooves wherein said end cap is vertically removable from said vessel body.7. The containment vessel of claim 5 wherein said end cap is made of a material selected from the group consisting of PET, PVC, PET, PE, PP, PS, paper, and mixtures thereof.8. The containment vessel according to claim 5 wherein upon said tabs being orientated to engage said grooves, the leading end of said tabs first engages said grooves is at an angle no greater than 90° from the interior surface of said vessel body interior.9. The containment vessel of claim 5 wherein said end cap comprises an integrally-formed containment recess for upright support of an applicator package or product within the interior of said containment vessel.10. The containment vessel of claim 5 wherein said base of said containment vessel body comprises an integrally formed containment recess for an applicator package or product within said containment vessel.
