The Infinity Lotion Pump is APG's all-plastic lotion pump built for e-commerce. It has a patented all-plastic up-lock design, a water-resistant design and no metal contact with the product, and it is APR recognized for recyclability. It is best for lotions, creams and wash products that ship direct to customers, live in the shower or need a recyclability story that holds up with retail buyers.
What the Infinity Lotion Pump is
The Infinity Lotion Pump is a dispensing pump for lotion-style products. It does the same job as a conventional lotion pump: press the actuator, get a dose, let it spring back, repeat. The difference is inside. Every component is plastic, so there is no metal spring and no metal part in contact with the formula.
It is one of several all-plastic lotion pumps in our range. If you want a side-by-side look at all of them, our metal-free lotion pump buyer's guide covers the whole family. This post goes deeper on the Infinity Lotion Pump itself: what each feature does for you and where it fits best.
What each feature means in practice
Product pages list features. Here is what those features change for a brand team.
| Feature | What it means for your product | Who benefits most |
|---|---|---|
| Patented all-plastic up-lock design | The actuator locks in the raised position for shipping and storage, without a separate clip to remove | DTC brands, subscription programs, retail packs that travel through distribution |
| All-plastic construction, no metal contact with product | No metal spring or metal part sits in the product path | Brands with clean or simple materials stories |
| APR recognized for recyclability | Gives your team a documented basis for careful recyclability wording | Brands answering retailer sustainability questions |
| Water-resistant design | Built for use in wet places such as showers and sink tops | Body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hand care |
| Multiple color combinations | The pump can be configured to match or contrast with your bottle and label | Brands with a defined color system or several product lines |
The up-lock and e-commerce
A pump that dispenses in a parcel creates a mess, a refund and often a bad review. An up-lock keeps the actuator from moving during transit. Because the lock is part of the pump design, there is nothing extra for the customer to throw away. For a wider look at shipping, see which metal-free pumps and sprayers hold up to e-commerce shipping.
Water resistance and the shower
Wet-area products get splashed, handled with soapy hands and left standing in water. A water-resistant design suits that setting. It is one reason the Infinity Lotion Pump is a natural fit for body wash, shampoo and conditioner, not only leave-on lotions.
APR recognition and your claims
APR recognition is a strong signal, but it applies to the pump. Your on-pack claim covers the whole package, including the bottle, label and any decoration. Use wording such as "designed for recyclability" or "recyclable where facilities accept it," and check every component before you print.
What it is best for
The Infinity Lotion Pump is a good first choice when two or more of these are true:
- You sell online. Direct-to-consumer, marketplace and subscription orders benefit from a pump built for e-commerce with a built-in lock.
- The product lives in the shower or at the sink. Body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap and hand lotion all fit here.
- Retail buyers ask about recyclability. An APR-recognized pump makes those conversations simpler.
- Color matters to the brand. Multiple color combinations let the pump read as part of the design, not an afterthought.
- You want a familiar user experience. Customers press it like any lotion pump. Nothing about the all-plastic design asks them to learn something new.
When another pump may fit better
The Infinity Lotion Pump is not the answer to every brief. Consider these instead:
| If you need | Consider | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A mono-material lotion pump | Infinity V2 Lotion Pump | PP mono all-plastic with an up-lock and a 1.5cc dose; the Infinity Lotion Pump is all-plastic but not described as mono-material |
| A larger dose with tamper-evident proof of non-use | Clip-lock all-plastic lotion pump | PP, clip-lock, 3.5cc dose |
| A small, controlled dose for serums | All-plastic treatment pump | PP with a full over cap |
| Protection for air-sensitive formulas | Eternal Pump airless bottle | PP mono material airless bottle in 15ml, 30ml and 50ml |
What to have ready before you spec it
Dosage and neck finish options for the Infinity Lotion Pump are not listed here. Ask us about available options, and bring these details so we can match the pump to your product quickly:
- Formula profile. Product type, how thick it is, and any oils, fragrance, exfoliants or other particles.
- Target dose. How much a customer should get per use, and how many strokes that should take.
- Bottle details. Neck finish, bottle height and material, or a bottle drawing or sample.
- Sales channels. Retail, e-commerce, subscription, or all three.
- Color direction. Pump and actuator colors you want to match or contrast.
- Volumes and timing. Ask us about lead times and minimums early so they fit your launch plan.
How to test it with your formula
Every pump needs validation with the real product. For the Infinity Lotion Pump, focus your trial on the features you are buying it for:
- Lock and ship. Lock filled samples, pack them as customers will receive them and run a shipping trial.
- Wet use. Use samples in a shower or at a sink for a few weeks and check feel, return and dosing.
- Priming and dose. Count strokes to prime and weigh doses from full to nearly empty.
- Storage. Store filled samples under your usual stability conditions and check for leaks or changes.

Common questions
Is the Infinity Lotion Pump mono-material?
It is all-plastic and APR recognized for recyclability, but it is not described as mono-material. If you need a mono-material lotion pump, look at the Infinity V2, which is PP mono all-plastic.
What dosage does the Infinity Lotion Pump deliver?
Ask us about available options. Share your target dose and formula, and we will help you match the pump.
Can I use it for shampoo and body wash?
Its water-resistant design suits wet areas such as the shower. Test with your formula to confirm priming, dosing and feel.
Does the customer need to remove a clip before use?
No. It uses an up-lock, so the customer twists the actuator to unlock it. There is no separate clip.
Can I match the pump to my brand colors?
It can be configured in multiple color combinations. Share your color references when you request samples.
