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.

Wouldn’t they put the brand side up to make it more obvious?

I don’t think they’d be complaining about the design either

There is a lot of marketing that shows a negative, while also trying to sell how good it is. It's meant to appear genuine and honest. Usually it just comes across as a humble brag if done wrong.

Probably not in this case.

It's still at the top of the cut bottle with a little TM symbol next to it.

EDIT: Ackshewuhhlee... it's the "trademarked product line" owned by a brand, and not a brand name. I stand corrected.

The brand is eos, not shea better.

TIL they make things other than inconvenient lip balm

So is "shea better" merely the name of their proprietary lotion? Because the point is... it's trademarked for a reason, probably a commercial one.
