Tag: Lip balm

Research indicates that a significant percentage of used cosmetic products, including lip balms, are contaminated with bacteria. The question, 'Can bacteria grow on lip balm?' is not just a concern but a reality, driven by repeated contact with our lips and the environment.

According to Poison Control, accidentally swallowing a small amount of most lip products is unlikely to cause serious harm. This brings up a common question: Is ChapStick edible?
