Warm-Weather & Natural Ingredient Notice
Because our body scrubs and oils are made with natural oils and butters, extreme heat during summer transit may cause textures to soften or melt slightly. This is completely natural and does not affect product quality—simply store your jar in a cool, dry place at room temperature to let it firm back up.
