If your post is meant to reply to my question to another poster, "Are you aware of an ignition source inside an oxygen mask," then no, you're not.

Lip balm and facial hair products are not ignition sources.

It's well established that greases, oils, and petroleum products in a high-concentration oxygen environment are a poor life choice.
