  • Cardboard tubes for a lip balm: problem

    Posted by Margaret on December 13, 2023 at 3:14 pm

    Has anyone ever heard/read or experienced the flavor/flavour oils from a lip balm seemingly disappear from a lip balm when its in a CARDBOARD tube?

    I am wondering if it’s possible the flavor/flavour oils are adsorbing to the cardboard container, thus explaining the flavor/flavour seeming to disappear in about 1 year at room temperature?

    I have NO idea if this happens with plastic tubes.
