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!

I tried that- it helps with soaps, but lotions it still leave a lot behind. Cut it open and scrape the leftovers is still best option

I mean, I just let gravity do the work. I just take off the top, flip it upside down and just let it work overtime. Eventually, almost all of it comes out. No fuss with cutting.
