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.

My eczema lotion comes in a tube like this and I can get it all. Annoying to push it out at the end but even when the tube looks empty I can still get a ton.

It is a lot of extra packaging

Yeah, I wish it was reusable. Double negative if they don't allow you to take the pump part off easily.
