What causes balm to become gritty after production, even if it was smooth at Quality Control release?

Grittiness in balms (like lip balm) typically results from improper cooling after manufacturing. Butters contain various fatty acids with different melting points. If cooled slowly at room temperature, these fatty acids may crystallize unevenly, resulting in a gritty texture. Rapid cooling, such as in a fridge or freezer, helps prevent this by minimizing crystallization. Essential Labs does not release gritty balms, so most likely if gritty balms are received it is due to transport.
During transportation, temperature fluctuations (especially in shipping trucks) can cause balms to melt and re-solidify. This re-solidification, especially when slow, can again lead to graininess due to the separation of fatty acids.

To fix gritty balm:

Gently re-melt it in a double boiler, stirring occasionally to ensure even heat distribution. Once entirely melted, pour it into containers and cool quickly.
