Introdução
If your lip gloss tube has a damaged stopper (the small plastic insert that prevents leakage and controls product flow), use this quick and simple guide to restore and reinsert the stopper to normal functionality. A broken or misaligned stopper can cause excess product buildup, messy application, and unnecessary waste.
In rare cases, exposure to chemical or heat degradation can cause the lip gloss container to warp or leak. Use caution when opening a leaking tube, and wear gloves as you may get lip gloss on your hands during the process.
Also, dispose of any degraded cosmetic containers responsibly, according to local cosmetic waste guidelines.
