Sustainability
Our .25 oz Paper Lip Balm Tubes are crafted from FSC-certified kraft paper and lined with vegetable-based wax, making them fully compostable, recyclable, and biodegradable. The brown kraft option uses 100% recycled paper, while white and black tubes include recycled content for added eco value. With their durable, seamless design and plastic-free construction, these tubes are more than packaging, they’re a commitment to reducing waste and protecting our planet.

What are people saying about the Eco-Friendly .25 oz Paper Lip Balm Tubes | Compostable Packaging?
The black and brown kraft have held up very well as opposed to the white tubes that fell apart on me for some reason. I use these for lip balms and I will definitely be reordering.
Perfect size and great quality! I won’t order from anyone else! Oh, and great customer service!
Exactly what I wanted and needed. Made well.
How to use
Using your .25 oz Paper Lip Balm Tube is simple and intuitive. Once your balm is poured and set, remove the cap and gently press up on the paper disc at the bottom of the tube with your finger, key, or similar tool. This motion pushes the balm upward for easy application. After use, simply replace the cap to keep your product fresh and clean. For best results when filling, leave about 1/4 inch of space at the top of the tube to prevent overflow. Unlike plastic twist-up tubes, these push-up containers are designed to stay neat and sturdy while offering a smooth, eco-friendly user experience.
