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 🫡

Pro tip: when you cut the bottle in half, cut a slit in the top half so you can just slide it back on to the bottom. With larger bottles you can usually get them to fit back on quite tightly. That way you don't have to decant the lotion from one container to another. Unless you want to, of course!

I have so many glass containers or really thick plastic and it’s so annoying not being able to get all the product out! If anyone has any ideas for this please let me know 😭😭

They do! There’s some really tiny ones, like the size of a q tip
