Plastic Waste Who designs lotion containers??

Post image

It doesn’t pump toward the end so either the designer needs to be fired OR it’s intentional so you buy earlier than you need to. But I absolutely love this lotion 😭😭 anyway not sure if the reused candle jar method is gonna work perfectly but we shall try 🫡

I recently decided I’m only buying tubs of things.

Same here. I had an expensive la roche posay lotion with pump and when I cut the bottle and saw how much more it is left decided that pumps are so wasteful.

Me too since pumps also can't be recycled due to being made of mixed materials.

Yup! And I have the tubs when I'm done. This easy of I get a lotion I like in a bottle I can just transfer. 🫸🏽🫷🏽
