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?

You can also just try other brands. Personally nothing has ever been as good for me as plain ol Chapstick brand.

It’s being absorbed into your lips, the same principle as lotion being absorbed into the skin.
Like others have said, it’s being absorbed by your skin because your skin is dry.
Obviously don’t know what toothpaste you use but I’ve found that switching to a toothpaste that doesn’t have sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) in it drastically reduced my need for chapstick. Before switching, I was applying it multiple times a day. Now I generally only apply before I go to sleep.

You might want to drink more water. if you are drying out that fast, you are probably dehydryated.
You eat it. The water mostly evaporates or is absorbed by your skin, but the wax component (it usually a blend of waxes and oils from both petroleum, bees and plant waxes) stays on the surface of your lips and by moving them around pieces end up in your mouth, tongue, hands (people touch their faces unconsciously many times per day).
