Option 1: Everyday Lip Care

1. Apply a thin layer of the high gloss lip balm directly to clean, dry lips.
2. Glide on using your finger or apply from the tube or pot — the avocado oil, castor oil, and shea butter blend provides instant moisture and a polished, glossy shine.
3. Reapply throughout the day as needed. Lips feel soft, conditioned, and look naturally luminous without any stickiness.

Option 2: Makeup-Ready Lip Prep

1. Gently exfoliate lips with a damp washcloth or soft lip scrub to remove any dry, flaky skin.
2. Apply a generous layer of the lip balm and let it absorb for 2–3 minutes — the meadowfoam seed oil, jojoba, and lanolin deeply condition the lip surface.
3. Blot lightly with a tissue to remove excess.
4. Apply your lip color or liner over the prepped surface. Lips feel smooth and hydrated under makeup, and the balm creates a flawless base that helps color apply more evenly.

Option 3: Overnight Lip Conditioning

1. Before bed, apply a thick, generous layer of the lip balm to clean lips — more than you'd use during the day.
2. Extend slightly beyond the lip line to condition the delicate skin around the mouth.
3. Let the dual-wax structure (beeswax and candelilla) and the rich blend of avocado butter, shea, and vitamin E work overnight while you sleep.
4. Wake to lips that look visibly smoother and feel soft, supple, and deeply conditioned — no flaking or tightness.

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.

Warning Statements:

Not for internal consumption. Pregnant or lactating people consult a doctor prior to use. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
