Eli5: where does chapstick / lip balm go?

Question

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?

I like the idea of op sitting there silently for hours doing nothing but constantly reapplying chapstick.
