    These little “germ pots” of lip balm always gross me out…people using a finger to apply for months! In these pandemic days you’d have to scrub/sterilize as if for surgery before applying! (Or use a Q-tip?)

      Depends on how solid it is. Very liquidly creams and balms, I’d prefer they not be in tubs. If it’s pretty solid, doesn’t bother me…not hard to wipe off the top layer every so often.

    I like the orange blossom balm I have from them and my fingers are clean when I use it..as with any tin balm. I dnt think of mine gettin yuck, cause they don’t. I dnt have it in a purse where I reach in and reapply after Uber drivers and Taco Bell lol.. What grosses me out..Sephora. All those ppl trying out the testers..some use qtips..some dnt.

      Uber rides I should say..lol..drivers also do not use my balm lolol. That would be bad…a tin by the dirty, paper money tip jar..now that would be gross.

        I guess you also don’t lick your fingers while counting cash ?. This is one of the grossest habits ever!
