Option 1: Everyday Lip Care

1. Glide a thin layer of lip balm across your upper and lower lips whenever they feel dry or in need of moisture.
2. The blend of sweet almond oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter delivers immediate comfort with a medium shine and smooth, non-waxy feel.
3. Reapply as needed throughout the day — before heading outdoors, after meals, or anytime lips need a refresh.

Option 2: Elevated Lip Prep Routine

1. Gently exfoliate lips with a damp washcloth or soft lip scrub to remove any flakiness.
2. Apply a generous layer of the lip balm, pressing it in with your fingertip to ensure the jojoba, meadowfoam seed, and evening primrose oils fully contact the lip surface.
3. Allow two to three minutes for absorption before applying lip color — the balm creates a smooth, hydrated canvas that helps lip products glide on evenly and look more polished.
4. Use as a daily pre-lipstick or pre-gloss step for a consistently conditioned lip appearance.

Option 3: Overnight Lip Conditioning

1. As the last step in your evening skincare routine, apply a thick, generous layer of the lip balm to your lips.
2. The premium blend of avocado oil, rosehip seed oil, and beeswax creates a protective, nourishing veil that conditions while you sleep.
3. Wake to lips that feel soft, smooth, and visibly plumped — no cracking or flaking. Keep the balm on your nightstand as a nightly ritual for consistently comfortable, well-conditioned lips.

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.
