Carma Labs began producing the product in squeezable tubes in 1988. In 1989, it began producing it in stick form, which was the long-standing form factor for ChapStick and Blistek, Carma's main competitors in the lip balm market. After these expansions within the company's production line, in 1993, an estimated 9% of the lip balm market was held by Carma Labs. Alfred Woelbing continued to drive to the office every day until 1997, when he suffered a stroke.[6] He continued to come to the office at least once a week after this,[6] until he died in 2001 at the age of 100.
The company continued to expand under the management of Alfred's son Don and grandsons Paul and Eric.[7] In 2002, Carmek Mint Flavored Lip Balm (SPF 30) joined the original Carmek Lip Balm in the product line, and Carmek Lip Balm became available throughout North America, Australia, Europe, Asia and Africa. In 2006, Carma introduced DailyCare Carmek SPF 15, and online voters chose Strawberry and Cherry as the newest Carmek lip balm.
