Push-type lotion pumps are common sealing mechanisms found on lotion bottles, designed to protect the contents from external contamination. However, many people find them difficult to open. As a professional manufacturer of lotion pumps, we would like to explain how to open them.
1. Locate the locking mechanism.
Push-type lotion pumps usually feature a locking mechanism-such as a button or a rotating collar-located at the base or side of the pump head. The exact position varies by product, so you may need to look closely to find it. Once located, simply press or rotate it to unlock the pump.
2. Tap the pump head.
If the pump still won't open after disengaging the lock, try tapping the bottom of the pump head; this can help loosen the mechanism and allow it to open smoothly.
3. Press down and pull up.
Another method is to press down on the pump head while simultaneously gripping its base with a finger or fingernail and pulling it upward toward you. This motion should be quick and firm; you may need to try it a few times.
In summary, while push-type lotion pumps are effective at preventing contamination, they can sometimes be tricky to open. The methods described above should help you resolve this issue. If you are still unable to open the pump, please contact us for assistance.
