My Beard butter melted what do I do ?
When it gets hot outside products like beard butter and balm can melt during the shipping process. Melted butter will not effect how the product performs but can causes it to have a gritty texture. There are two options to reduce the grit. if the product is only partially melted you just toss it in the fridge for a couple hours and let it come to room temp before using. If you find that it is really gritty put the jar in the oven or toaster oven on 175 for an hour, stir and toss it in the freezer for 2 hours and it will be just as creamy as when it was shipped.
