Note about balms:

Storing your balm at a regulated cool temperature below 25°C, away from moisture and direct sunlight is important to prevent the product from melting and granulating. It is possible the balm could melt during transit in hot weather. For this reason please be careful before opening. 

If your balm does melt, use a sterile implement to stir thoroughly before placing in your fridge until cool. Please note varying temperatures can sometimes cause the texture to become grainy - this will not compromise the quality of the ingredients. This is due to the rich content of shea butter which contains molecules with varying melting points that separate when melted and solidify at different temperatures. If this happens to your balm, you can melt the granules in the palms of your hands before application. Otherwise if you prefer the original buttery texture, the balm can usually be fixed by melting it again very gently on low heat over a double boiler then cooled quickly in the fridge or freezer.
