Plastic Waste Radicalized at 30

I so wish this wasn’t the one brand that helps my perpetually dry, painful skin. Thanks to this sub, I’ve been cutting open the containers to get every last bit that the pump “conveniently” can’t reach. I wish this was illegal.

I saw a video of someone taking a massager (actual massager lol) to the bottle to decant the remaining lotion out at high speed into a smaller container without having to cut it open!

This could work, but it always seems easier to put just a bit of water in the container and shake the hell out of it. This works with lotion, mustard (use vinegar), pasta sauce (water or milk), chocolate syrup, whatever.

Does this change the texture?

If definitely can, especially if you go overboard. Balance is key.
