Yes, that’s normal! Our products are made with coconut oil and plant butters, which naturally soften or turn liquid in warm weather, just like coconut oil in your kitchen. Set it somewhere cool (or leave it in the fridge) and it will firm up again. Re-solidifying does not affect quality or performance, and texture may look slightly different after re-setting. If you have any concerns about your order, email us at info@rootsyalchemy.com

Apply as needed to the places that work hard: dry skin, hands, feet, scrapes, cuts, minor skin irritations. Warm a small amount between fingertips, smooth it on, and allow the botanicals absorb slowly, leaving skin feeling nourished, soft, and comforted.

All of our products are oil-based (coconut oil and other plant oils). Oil-based products, including our SEXbalm salve and SEXbalm purifying oil, can weaken latex and polyisoprene condoms, which may make them more likely to break. If you rely on condoms, use polyurethane or nitrile condoms with our products, or skip oil-based products when using latex or polyisoprene. Our products are not contraceptives and do not product against STI’s. If you have questions about contraception or sexual health, please check with your health care provider.
