Option 1: Everyday Fresh Application

1. Start with clean, dry underarms — towel off completely after showering.
2. Swipe 2–3 even strokes of the deodorant stick onto each underarm.
3. Allow a moment for the balm to settle before dressing. The Cypress and Tea Tree scent provides a clean, woodsy freshness throughout the day.

Option 2: Extended-Wear Layered Method

1. Cleanse the underarm area and pat completely dry.
2. Apply a thin layer of unscented body oil or lotion to condition the delicate underarm skin.
3. Once absorbed, apply 2–3 swipes of deodorant to each side, pressing gently for even coverage.
4. The Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter base conditions skin while the formula works to keep you feeling fresh — reapply as needed during long days.

Option 3: Post-Workout Refresh

1. After exercise, cleanse the underarm area with a damp cloth or rinse to remove sweat and buildup.
2. Pat skin thoroughly dry — the aluminum-free formula works best on clean, dry skin.
3. Apply 2–3 smooth strokes to each underarm. The woodsy-herbal blend of Cypress and Tea Tree feels invigorating after activity.
4. The conditioning oils (Sweet Almond, Coconut) help keep skin feeling comfortable even with frequent reapplication.

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. NourishUs Naturals 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.
