WHY IS THERE WHITE SPOTS /BALLS IN MY LIP BALM? (BLOOMING)

Understanding Lip Balm Blooming: Why It Happens and What to Do About It

Have you ever noticed white dots or grains on the surface or inside of your favorite lip balm and

buttery skincare product? Don't worry, the products are perfectly safe and have not gone bad.

Here's what you need to know about the process of blooming.

Blooming occurs when the lip balm is exposed to extreme temperature changes. Khaddy's lip

balm contains natural unrefined butters such as shea butter, cocoa butter, and mango butter.

During the creation process, the butter is melted down into oil and mixed with waxes, then left to

cool and solidify. External factors such as temperature changes can cause the mixture to melt

and solidify, causing the butters to resurface and appear as blooming.

It's not uncommon for products with a high percentage of natural butter to bloom. Due to the

absence of chemicals in Khaddy's lip balms, they are more susceptible to the natural process of

blooming. At Khaddy's we add 100% natural preservatives to most of our products, especially

our lip balms to prevent the breading of bacteria, giving them a longer shelf life.

Yes, you can still use your lip balm as normal, and you don't need to dispose of it. Blooming

doesn't affect the products' moisturizing properties or usability. Once you rub it against your skin

or lips, the blooming will melt away.

Khaddy's products are kept as natural as possible without compromising their integrity, which is

why synthetic chemicals are not added to eliminate blooming.
