Shade™ is an entirely natural product and so you may find some tiny little specs in your Shade™ which have come naturally with the unrefined beeswax or shea butter. The coconut oil is very well filtered but we do sometimes find naturally-occurring biproducts of the manufacturing process of the oil in our supplies (i.e. tiny weeny bits of the nut!). Although we endeavour to remove as much as we can, this is a time-consuming task done by hand, and we cannot guarantee all 'impurities' will be removed.

Zinc Clumping Effect – You may also see your cream turn from a smooth surface to a rather mottled looking surface if you don't use it up quickly. This again is a natural occurrence and is when zinc oxide crystals attract one-another, because of their polarity, and hang out together in a 'clumping' effect. If this occurs, simply rub the cream into your skin well when you apply it.
