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?

sometimes it’s forming that dreaded white crud lip line …just where the lips tend to meet…
Depending on what kind, your lips absorb most of it, like moisturiser.
The rest gets unintentionally eaten, or otherwise rubbed off accidentally while you eat or drink.

It is being absorbed by your lips.
Cool thing I learned about chapstick/lip balm. You can get addicted to it. I grew up in a place with average humidity, and rarely used chapstick. For college I moved to a much drier climate and started using chapstick regularly, and by regularly, I mean 3-5 times an hour. I was going through a stick a week. After college I moved to a high humidity climate and noticed I still needed chapstick 3-5 times an hour. I had a friend point out that it was unusual and suggested I might be addicted. I laughed off his ridiculous statement and proudly proclaimed I could quit any time I wanted. Sure enough, within 10 minutes I was using again. Decided to quit cold turkey, had super painful chapped lips for 2 weeks before my body decided to start producing its own lip moisture again. And I’ve never touched the stuff since.
