• forming the reservoir in a single integral part having an exterior surface being smooth and unbroken;
• assembling the actuator, the pump mechanism and the sealing means into a subassembly;
• and
• inserting the subassembly into to the opening a predetermined distance to locate said sealing means and said pump completely internal of said actuator button and reservoir wherein only the actuator button and the reservoir are visible external to said dispensing pump and container.
