Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
I’m a lip balm junkie; I’ve tried them ALL. Recently I started my search for an all-natural, non-toxic lip balm. The two I bought elsewhere were causing my lips to flake. I was worried I was going to have to go back to the toxic, waxy balms, until I tried this.
This balm is mind-blowingly amazing!!!! My lips cleared up overnight. They are now soft, supple and flake free. This balm lasts after you apply it; my lips stay hydrated for hours and hours (even through eating and drinking). I’m quite simply BLOWN AWAY.
I will NEVER be without this again; it’s now a holy grail product for me.
Thank you for this beautiful balm, and please never stop making it!
What a beautiful review!! We love that this is helping you so much :) This is a staff fave as well :)

Very nourishing, great under matte lipstick
This feels very nourishing on the lips. It's also excellent under matte lipsticks that are otherwise hard to apply and feel/look dry. The only cons are that it doesn't smell or taste of chocolate and that it doesn't stay put all night. Its smells and tastes like the raw ingredients and you have to reapply it every couple of hours. I haven't tried a lip balm in a stick that stays put all night yet anyway. IM happy with it! The ingredients are lovely.

Updated Review
I’ve left a review before about how much I love this stuff, but I just wanted to update to say I love the new formula even more. It has been a blessing for my dry lips and has really made a difference in how often I deal with chapping and peeling. I have them in multiple places throughout my house, so I always have one nearby. :)
We appreciate the review update!!! :)

Chocolate!
I bought this for my husband since he often has dry lips, and it's impossible to get him to moisturize. But...he loves chocolate. Now, he uses the lip balm all the time. Success!
Thank you!

Nice!
A very nice lip balm. Softening without feeling gooey. I tried the unflavored. Will try the chocolate next.
