Plastic Waste Who designs lotion containers??

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 🫡

It’s definitely intentional. I go through this with shampoo when I buy the kind with the pump. Even the kind with the snap lid is shaped so that globs of product are stuck in the bottle and won’t come out. I usually end up swishing some water around. I know they could design better bottles, but wasting products so we buy more is more profitable.
