Lotion pump also known as mist sprayers, one of the most recognized dispensing procedures for thick liquid items in the beauty and personal care industry, avail in all shapes `& sizes.
Actuator – an actuator is what the users push down to pump out the product from the container. Usually the actuator is composed of PP plastic and often avails with an up-lock or down-lock feature to stop accidental outcome.
Closure – the compound that scre
ws the whole assembly onto the neck finish of the container. It’s recognized with the standard neck finish destination, for example, 28-410, 33-400. Often composed of PP plastic, it’s designed with a smooth side surface. In certain cases, a glossy metal overshell can be fitted to offer the pump a high-end look.

Outer gasket - The gasket is often friction fitted to the inside of the closure and it acts as a gasket barrier on the bottle land area to prevent product leakage. This outer gasket can be made from a wide variety of materials depending on the manufacturer's design : Rubber, LDPE are just two of the many possible options.
Housing – sometimes referred as pump assembly housing, this compound seizes all the pump elements in position and also acting as a transfer chamber that sends the product from the dip tube to the actuator, and ultimately to the user's hand. This component is often made of PP plastic. Depending on the lotion pump output and design, the size of this housing can differ greatly. A word of caution, if you are pairing the pump with a glass bottle, as glass bottles have thicker side walls, the bottle opening may not be wide enough to fit the housing - be sure to check first for fit and function.
Dip tube – a long plastic tube made of PP plastic that extends the reach of the Mist sprayers to the bottom of the bottle. Depending on the bottle the pump is paired with, the dip tube length will differ. A properly cut dip tube will maximize product usage and prevent clogging.
A lotion pump acts much like a air suction device that draws the product from the bottle to the consumer's hand despite the law of gravity telling it do the opposite. When the user presses down on the actuator again, the product that is already in the chamber will be drawn from the chamber, through the stem and actuator, and dispense out of the pump and onto the consumer's hand.
