An airless pump keeps air out — a piston rises as the product is used, no dip tube — for serums and actives that oxidize. A lotion pump draws through a dip tube on an 18/410, 20/410, 22/410, 24/410, 28/410 or 32/410 neck and gives 2 cc or 4 cc a stroke, for shower gel, shampoo and liquid soap.
| Airless pump | Lotion pump | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | A piston follows the product up the bottle; no dip tube | Draws the product through a dip tube cut to your bottle height; 2 cc or 4 cc a stroke |
| How it fits | Does not screw onto a standard bottle neck; sized by capacity and body diameter | 18/410, 20/410, 22/410, 24/410, 28/410 or 32/410 |
| Made for | Serums and actives that oxidize | Shower gel, shampoo, liquid soap |
There is no dip tube. A piston follows the product up the bottle as it is used, which keeps air out of the product. The pump, the piston and the bottle are one system, so it is sized by capacity and body diameter rather than by a thread, and quoted as a system with its own bottle. Ask about this one →
A lotion pump screws onto a standard neck — 18/410, 20/410, 22/410, 24/410, 28/410 or 32/410 — and draws the product up through a dip tube. Tell us the bottle height and we cut the dip tube to length. Each stroke gives 2 cc or 4 cc. Ask about this one →
For shower gel, shampoo and liquid soap, a lotion pump. For a serum: if its actives oxidize, choose an airless pump; if it is used drop by drop, choose a dropper.
They are not the same part. A cream pump is the small one: about 1 cc a stroke, for face cream and serum, on 18/410 or 20/410. A lotion pump comes in 18/410, 20/410, 22/410, 24/410, 28/410 and 32/410 and gives 2 cc or 4 cc. The necks overlap, so go by the dose.

An airless pump keeps air out of the product. There is no dip tube: a piston follows the product up the bottle as it is used. Because the pump, piston and bottle work as one system, an airless pump is sized by capacity and body diameter rather than by a standard neck thread.
No. An airless pump does not screw onto a standard bottle neck. The pump, the piston and the bottle are one system, designed together, so it is sized by capacity and body diameter rather than by a thread. Tell us the capacity and the formula, and we’ll quote it as a system with its own bottle.
If the actives oxidize, an airless pump, because it keeps air out of the product. If the serum is used drop by drop, a dropper, in 18/410 or 20/410, the usual serum necks. A lotion pump is for larger doses — 2 cc or 4 cc a stroke — on shower gel, shampoo and liquid soap.
No. A cream pump is the small one: about 1 cc a stroke, for face cream and serum, on 18/410 or 20/410. A lotion pump comes in 18/410, 20/410, 22/410, 24/410, 28/410 and 32/410 and gives 2 cc or 4 cc, for shower gel, shampoo and liquid soap. The necks overlap, so go by the dose. They are different parts, not one pump with a new label.
2 cc or 4 cc per stroke. A lotion pump screws onto a standard neck — 18/410, 20/410, 22/410, 24/410, 28/410 or 32/410 — and draws the product up through a dip tube cut to your bottle height. For a smaller dose, a cream pump gives about 1 cc a stroke on an 18/410 or 20/410 neck.
A photo of your current bottle or pump is enough. You do not need to know the reference numbers.
