Description

Made from cardboard these tubes are a great alternative for those wishing to reduce plastic use. The simple push-up action makes it ideal for oils-based sticks and balms.  The inside has a polyethylene coating to allow it to resist oils, however, it is not suitable for water-based formulations.

Formulation Advice

This type of tube requires a very hard stick/balm for the push-up function to work and different formulations can make pushing the base up more difficult, particularly in cooler weather. Gently warming the outside before application can help resolve this issue. Please make sure you have thoroughly tested your formulation before making a big batch.

We would recommend that you purchase a sample before designing your labels.

The inconvenient truth

I wanted a more sustainable alternative to plastic lip balm tubes, but the problem with these is they are push-up not twist-up from the bottom, which means that when someone has finished putting balm on their lips, they then need to use their finger or lip to push the balm back into the tube. The reason I chose a tube instead of a tub/pottle was to avoid using the fingers because women with long nails find pottles messy. It's the inconvenient truth between modern convenience and being good to our planet. So, I'm going back to pottles with my balms and I'll just have to face the truth that I can't help those with long nails :-)

Testing it

First time Ive used these. they have held the lip balm perfectly. Havent gifted them yet, so cant say how they are going to last the distance, but so far all is looking good. delighted with the move from plastic to cardboard. Much more expensive, but so is destroying our environment.
