1. A wiping device suitable for a product applicator, the device having an axis A and comprising:
a first part forming a support,
a second part formed as a wiping sleeve, the wiping sleeve being suitable for wiping an applicator stem immersed in a product to be dispensed by means of the applicator,
the first part forming a support comprising an annular base configured to rest on a mouth of a product container, with an axial support flange and a tubular portion centered on the axis A and intended to be mounted radially inside the mouth,
the wiping sleeve comprising a root portion connected to the first part, a wiping lip, and an intermediate portion interposed between the root portion and the wiping lip,
the wiping sleeve comprising a central passage,
wherein the wiping sleeve is a shape of revolution around the axis A with a half-section which has the following profile at rest:
a radially inner line, which gradually approaches the axis as one moves away from the root portion,
a scraping tip, situated at a location closest to an axis of the wiping lip,
a front end line, extending radially outwards from the scraping tip,
a radially outer line, which gradually approaches the axis as one moves away from the root portion, doing so at least from the root portion to the intermediate portion,
a drip line defining a drip edge, connected to the front end line and to the radially outer line,
the half-section being such that a half-section's width E, measured perpendicularly to the axis, increases from the intermediate portion to the scraping tip,
the half-section being such that, at the scraping tip, the radially inner line forms an acute angle with the front end line.
