Hi there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out and share this with us - we truly appreciate it! 😊
We’re really sorry to hear our tubes have been a frustrating experience for you, and we completely understand where you’re coming from. Our aluminium tubes are definitely a unique concept and do need a bit of extra care compared to their plastic counterparts, as they don’t bounce back in the same way. Because of the soft, malleable nature of aluminium, they need to be handled a little more delicately.
We do have some lovely tube keys available that can really help to minimise any mess or wastage – and we totally hear your suggestion about including one with every 30ml tube and up. That’s such a thoughtful idea, and we’ll absolutely pass it along to our product and packaging team to explore
We also recommend popping the tubes in a small cosmetic bag like our neoprene pouches to help prevent bending (which is what usually causes the splitting). You can definitely use them without leaks once you get the hang of it!
Here’s a quick little guide that might help: https://www.airyday.co/blogs/q-and-a/aluminium-tube-care-tips
Please know that we’re actively exploring alternative packaging options and your feedback plays a big part in helping us improve. We’re so grateful for your understanding and for sharing your perspective - it really helps us grow and make Airyday even better for our community.
Once again, we’re so sorry for any frustration this has caused, and we truly appreciate your kindness and honesty. Your voice matters to us more than you know!
With gratitude,
Adri & The Airyday Team
