Aqueous cream tubs

Gerry, I've PMed you.0

The pump dispensers can be quite heavy/hard to push on aqueous cream though, or at least I find them so.
OP, I decant the cream into a jar (not because I can't open it, but because I add some essential oils to mine, DH doesn't)..I wonder if you couldn't decant into something, asking a pharmasist to break the seal/undo then redo the lid...so its done up but not factory tight?0 -
I'd just leave the lid off altogether and replace it with some cling-film0

it depends what brand you get, I find the Sainsbury's one slightly firmer (which I prefer) and other brands too soft and light. if you get a softer one, I'm sure you could use a pump dispenser, especially one with a big pump like you can get on E45 tubs0

There are 2 different types of aqueous cream on the market, one has a PL (Product License) and the other doesn't. The ones used in pharmacies tend to have a PL and a child resistant type top, whilst the ones sold in pound stores have no PL and could not be sterile.
Thanks
