Choco & Mint Lip Balm

We’re saying it: cardboard is less convenient than plastic. Cardboard tubes do not have a roll-up function like plastic; you'll have to push them up manually (incrementally) from the bottom. The first push from the bottom of the tube breaks a tiny seal, so it takes a bit more pressure. Don't be shy.

Cardboard tubes require effort. While our cardboard tube is sleek and fun, unless you have tiny fingers you’ll probably use a key, a pen or another tool to push up the lip balm over time. Apply to your lips softly, there is no plastic device to hold the balm in place (but it stays up pretty well regardless).

Cardboard lids don’t have a snap-on cap function like their plastic counterpart. This means that leaving them in a bag or in your pocket is probably a really bad idea. It’s better if you leave the tube on your desk, your night stand, somewhere stationary...

Change isn’t easy, but many of you have been asking for an alternative to plastic. So with all this change, give it time. Don’t try to force the product to perform like a traditional plastic lip balm tube. Instead, change your habits and I’m sure you and your cardboard tube will be the best of friends in no time :)
