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?

Additionally, lip balms can be physically and psychologically addictive. Physical, in the seeking of the immediate relief upon (re)application; psychological, for that “Ahhh!” moment.
Surprisingly, a possible cause of lip irritation could be the toothpaste being used. Try a milder toothpaste.
Or, diet. Love jalapeños and other spicy foods? Might be the problem right there.
Just mentioning this to point out that lip irritation doesn’t always arise from low humidity.
Might also be a too-frequent and extended playing of a game of enthusiastic smashmouth. Prolonged kissing, while quite pleasant, not only can put strain on labial membranes, but also can give rise to excessive salivary streams leading to a flooding of the chin (and/or beard) as well as a good soaking of the shirt front leading to such exclamations as “Hey, holy cow, time to build a fucking ark!” and “Admiral, shall we alert the fleet at Spithead?”
