Two-in-one lip balm products that are double-sided have been on the market for quite some time, with leading brands like [ChapStick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/it-gets-better-project) producing items such as the 'Dual-Ended Hydration Lock Day & Night.' While products like these do offer versatility and greater value to consumers, ChapStick is also hoping to add customization to the mix with its newest range called 'DUO.'

DUO lip balms come in pots that can be snapped together for effortless mixing and matching. Some of the companion flavors that are packaged together include Tropical Pineapple and Fresh Coconut, as well as Sweet Peach and Vanilla Shimmer.

As well as selling its DUO lip products in packs of two, ChapStick also offers "half" packages that include just one balm that can be easily mixed and matched with other favorites, as well as replaced as needed.
