Love the product but can’t stand the packaging. There’s not a lot of product and the lid is almost impossible to remove. I don’t even close the lid...

Love the product but can’t stand the packaging. There’s not a lot of product and the lid is almost impossible to remove. I don’t even close the lid because it’s so annoying to get off. Never thought I would discontinue a profit due to packaging but I won’t buy this again.
