The present invention concerns a closure (8) for closing the aperture (5) of a pressure driven dispensing container, said closure comprising : (a) an outer shell comprising :•a substantially planar base (110) comprising a first outer main surface (110out) and a second inner main surface (110in) separated from the outer surface by the thickness of the base, said base further comprising a first dispensing aperture (10) fluidly connecting the outer surface (110out) to the inner surface (110in) and suitable for receiving a dispensing tube (1 );•an outer peripheral ski rt (111) jutting out of the periphery of the inner surface (110in) and suitable for sealingly fixing the closure (8) to the aperture (5) of said pressure driven dispensing container; and (b) a flexible valve (9) in contact with the inner surface (110in), located within the outer peripheral skirt (111), and defining an interior passageway (210) having a first opening at one end adjacent to and in fluid communication with the first dispensing aperture (10) and having a second opening (10a) at the other end of the passageway, characterized in that, the flexible valve is resiliently biased such as to naturally shut and seal the second opening (10a), and such that said sealed second opening (10a) is reversibly openable by pressing the tip (1a) of a hollow dispensing tube (1) through the first aperture (10) down said interior passageway (210), and out of said second opening (10a). |
