A pump dispenser has a large ergonomic actuator designed to ergonomically deliver a composition to a substrate in the consumer's hand without the consumer having to pick up the pump dispenser. The ergonomic design allows the composition to be delivered in a proper aspect ratio to the substrate. The composition can be delivered in such a way that the composition is not aerosolized into the air or delivered to an unintended surface. The method of delivery can be made intuitive to the consumer by providing an actuator skirt that suggests the pumping mechanism or by providing a depiction of a hand or substrate over the pump dispenser. The pump dispenser is also useful for compositions or substrates that are not stable together.

What is claimed is: 1. A package for dispensing a liquid and having an ergonomic top surface comprising:a. a container having a container bottom, a container sleeve coupled to the container bottom, the container sleeve depending upwardly and outwardly from the peripheral edge of the container bottom;b. an actuator having an actuator top and an actuator skirt coupled to the actuator top and depending downwardly and indented from the peripheral edge of the actuator top to provide an indented portion of the actuator skirt that is slideably engagable with an outwardly slanted sleeve interior surface of the container sleeve;c. a pump assembly having a hollow stem and the pump assembly disposed within the container and in fluid communication with the actuator;d. wherein the actuator has a single discharge orifice in fluid communication with the stem of the pump assembly to permit liquid to flow on to a top surface of the actuator top upon reciprocation of the actuator top;e. wherein the vertical projection of the top surface of the actuator top has substantially the same dimensions as at least one horizontal slice of the container; andf. wherein a vertical projection of the top surface of the actuator top has an aspect ratio of at least about 1.5.
