Eli5: where does chapstick / lip balm go?

876 views

I’ve been in a meeting for around 4 hours and have had to reapply lip balm (I use aquaphore) about 6 times. I’m not drinking or talking, and not licking my lips. Where is it going?

For those saying it gets absorbed, a sub-question: if that’s the case, why is it still on my lips after sleeping for 8 hours? I understand that while I’m awake, I’m ingesting it a lot more than when I’m sleeping, but if it gets absorbed, why is so much left on my lips in the morning?
