Summer Shipping

Summer Shipping Notice ☀️

We know there are a lot of skincare brands out there, thank you for choosing us! It means a lot.

The good news? Our products are made with PUFA-aware, saturated fats that stay stable and don’t oxidize in heat the way seed oils do. That means your skincare stays safe and effective, even in the summer heat.

The not-so-fun part? Some of our butter-based products may melt or soften during shipping depending on how hot it gets where you live. 

Products that may melt:
Tallow Balm, Tallow Lip Balm, Sovereign Salve, and Lovely Lipids.

Melting doesn’t harm the formula at all, but to avoid spills or grit, we recommend this:

As soon as your order arrives:
Do NOT open the products! Pop any melty products in the fridge for 1–2 hours before opening. This prevents spills and helps the butters re-solidify quickly, so they don’t develop that gritty texture from slow cooling.

After chilling, let them come back to room temp before using. Cold butters can be too firm to spread easily over the skin. 

Thanks for rolling with these extra steps. Conventional products use synthetic stabilizers to avoid this, but we don’t do that here. 

Enjoy your Kossma goodies!
