galet fondant

French to English Other Cosmetics, Beauty
In a beauty products brochure in the "anti-age" section : "Galet fondant associé à un sève repulpante ..." In this expensive brochure it's clearly not just a common old bar (pebble) of soap - would "emulsion" be a possibility? Or is it a mask or a scrub? Has anyone come across this, please?

This is the product you're talking about, you can see "galet fondant" on the box in the picture
=>even more specific translation: "Freeze Dried Emulsion Melting Tablet"

rich/fondant-textured face cream with (roller-ball) applicator)

basically the fondant part is that it has the texture of fondant cake icing and there is a tining called a "fondant roller"for applying the ice or putting swirls in it.

So here I think "roller-ball applicator" might be better or just "applicator", the idea being to help massage in the cream

capsule / melting capsule / dissolving capsule

I have seen lots of capsule type products on beauty counters over the last few years.

I like the idea of melting and think it works in English. However, for an alternative, "capsule that dissolves into your skin" may also work if you could incorporate it neatly into your context.
Example sentence:

"ELEMIS CELLULAR RECOVER SKIN BLISS CAPSULES...Once you break the top from the capsules and melt them within you hands the wonderful aromas envelop you - enjoy for a minute before you apply to the face and neck (avoiding the eye area)."

"Little green tea capsules within the gel dissolve when you rub it over skin to improve blood circulation and refine enlarged pores."
