Unfortunately, as much as I wanted these to work, they did not for us. I bought 3 and one had a seal issue and one that was fine had my chapstick completely melt in it, twice, and ruined two of my special order chapsticks. I would return them but the policy said if used it's "UP TO 50%" at the discretion of the company so it didn't seem worth the trouble. I live in a hot southern state. I had high hopes but should've known better and been more realistic.
