A dispenser for a product in stick form comprising: a base part and a removable cap ; the base part comprising: an outer tube made from a paper-based or card-based material such as paperboard or cardboard; an inner tube rotatably and slidably received within the outer tube and made from a paper-based or card-based material such as paperboard or cardboard, the inner tube projecting upwardly from the outer tube and having an axially extending helical slot formed therein; a product stick carrier formed of a paper-based or card-based material and supporting a product stick , the product stick carrier being rotationally fixed relative to the outer tube , the product stick being arranged radially inwardly of the inner tube and projecting upwardly from the outer tube ; and a helical element made from a paper-based or card-based material such as paperboard or cardboard, the helical element being rotationally fixed with respect to the outer tube , the helical element being received in the helical slot such that rotation of the inner tube relative to the outer tube will move the helical slot along the helical element thereby lowering or raising the inner tube within the outer tube to expose or cover the product stick . a base part and a removable cap ; the base part comprising: an outer tube made from a paper-based or card-based material such as paperboard or cardboard; an inner tube rotatably and slidably received within the outer tube and made from a paper-based or card-based material such as paperboard or cardboard, the inner tube projecting upwardly from the outer tube and having an axially extending helical slot formed therein; a product stick carrier formed of a paper-based or card-based material and supporting a product stick , the product stick carrier being rotationally fixed relative to the outer tube , the product stick being arranged radially inwardly of the inner tube and projecting upwardly from the outer tube ; and a helical element made from a paper-based or card-based material such as paperboard or cardboard, the helical element being rotationally fixed with respect to the outer tube , the helical element being received in the helical slot such that rotation of the inner tube relative to the outer tube will move the helical slot along the helical element thereby lowering or raising the inner tube within the outer tube to expose or cover the product stick . an outer tube made from a paper-based or card-based material such as paperboard or cardboard; an inner tube rotatably and slidably received within the outer tube and made from a paper-based or card-based material such as paperboard or cardboard, the inner tube projecting upwardly from the outer tube and having an axially extending helical slot formed therein; a product stick carrier formed of a paper-based or card-based material and supporting a product stick , the product stick carrier being rotationally fixed relative to the outer tube , the product stick being arranged radially inwardly of the inner tube and projecting upwardly from the outer tube ; and a helical element made from a paper-based or card-based material such as paperboard or cardboard, the helical element being rotationally fixed with respect to the outer tube , the helical element being received in the helical slot such that rotation of the inner tube relative to the outer tube will move the helical slot along the helical element thereby lowering or raising the inner tube within the outer tube to expose or cover the product stick . <EOS>
