These tubes are not just any packaging; they're designed to mimic the size and shape of a standard plastic lip balm tube, ensuring a seamless transition to eco-friendliness. Instead of twisting like conventional lip balm tubes, ours feature a push-up disc at the bottom. And here's the magic: you can keep the balm neatly pushed inside the tube. Please note this is our only tube that is too narrow to be pushed all the way up by larger fingers. We've lined these tubes with a vegetable wax paper lining that's fully compostable, biodegradable, and recyclable. All of our papers are FSC certified and recycled. They are designed to put oil-based cosmetics directly inside!
