The lip balm comes packaged in cardboard tubes that fit neatly inside of a [reusable aluminum tube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunkiss-products) to eliminate the use of any single-use materials and encourage recycling. The lip balm itself is crafted using a premium blend of ingredients such as shea butter, hyaluronic acid, beeswax, jojoba oil, coconut oil and vitamin E to help soften and nourish the lips. The Hylo ethical lip balm comes in a range of differently colored aluminum tubes that will suit any style preferences and speaks to the continued shift away from [single-use plastics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refillable-packaging-innovation) for everyday products. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Refillable Beauty Products:** The trend towards less waste in consumer beauty and personal care products provides an opportunity for manufacturers to create refillable or reusable products that appeal to eco-conscious consumers. - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** Consumer demand for environmentally friendly products presents an opportunity for packaging manufacturers to develop and supply sustainable packaging solutions to beauty and personal care brands. - **Natural Ingredients:** The increasing popularity of natural, clean ingredients in lip balms and other beauty products presents opportunities for companies to innovate and differentiate by using high-quality organic ingredients. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Brands in the beauty and personal care industry can attract eco-conscious consumers by offering refillable and eco-friendly packaging options for their products. - **Packaging:** Packaging manufacturers can capitalize on the trend towards eco-friendliness by offering sustainable packaging solutions for beauty and personal care brands, such as refillable containers. - **Organic Farming:** Organic farming companies can benefit from partnerships with beauty and personal care brands seeking to incorporate natural, high-quality ingredients in their products, such as coconut oil and beeswax. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper Lip Balm Tubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moisturizing-lip-balms.md) - [Aluminum Lipstick Refills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rouge-experience-refillable-lipstick.md) - [Pocket-Friendly Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-camp-wellness.md) - [Shea Butter-Infused Lip Treatments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinfields-lip-rescue.md) - [5-in-1 Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conditioning-lip-balm.md) - [Animal-Inspired Habitat Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endangered-animal-lip-balm.md) - [Minimalist Multi-Benefit Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lip-balm.md) - [Eco-Conscious Lip Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schwan-cosmetics-1.md) - [Plastic-Free Body Moisturizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moisturizing-body-stick.md)
