What are Airless Pump Bottles?

Unlike the usual dispensers that make use of tubes or straws to pump products out, an airless pump bottle works with a vacuum mechanism.

There are three parts to airless pump bottles:

The base: There's a tiny hole in the base, that powers the vacuum effect and make the intake of air possible

The plate: Inside the bottle, there is a plate (or a disc) of which your skincare product sits on.

The pump: A vacuum effect is created by the pumping action to extract the product.

With every pumping action, the product that sits on the plate (within the bottle) is pushed upwards by the vacuum effect— air goes into the hole at the bottle's base, pushing the plate that holds the product, and pushes it upwards.

On First Use: Priming Your Airless Pump Bottle

Like any new cosmetics bottle, you will need to 'prime' your airless pump bottle when using it for the first time. Pump slowly for about 10-15 times ("strokes"), which will create the vacuum necessary to dispense the product and essentially activate the vacuum pump system.

Tip: If at any time your dispenser stops working, simply repeat the priming process to reactivate the airless pump system.
