Option 1: Daily Lip Care

1. Apply directly to clean, dry lips whenever they feel dry or need a refresh.
2. Glide a thin, even layer across the upper and lower lip — the candelilla wax and shea butter base provides a smooth, lasting coating.
3. Reapply throughout the day as desired. The coconut oil and jojoba seed oil keep lips feeling soft, conditioned, and comfortable.

Option 2: Intensive Lip Prep & Layering

1. Gently exfoliate lips with a damp washcloth using small circular motions to remove any dry, flaky skin.
2. Apply a generous layer of the vegan lip balm, pressing it into the lips and along the lip line rather than swiping quickly.
3. Allow a minute for the rosehip seed oil and olive oil to absorb and condition before applying lip color or gloss on top. Lips look plumped, smooth, and perfectly prepped for makeup.

Option 3: Overnight Lip Conditioning Mask

1. As the last step in your evening skincare routine, apply a thick, generous layer of the balm to lips and just beyond the lip line.
2. Let the plant butter and oil complex — shea, coconut, jojoba, and rosehip — work overnight while you sleep.
3. Wake to lips that feel deeply nourished, smooth, and visibly softer. Gently blot any remaining balm in the morning before starting your daytime routine.

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.
