Cocoa butter can create "crystal blooms" with fluctuations in heat. Warming the product on lips will help redistribute the crystals and smooth the appearance. Thank you for your understanding the challenges of using purely natural materials.
Like with all our ingredients we are incredibly selective in our sourcing to ensure all ingredients support planetary health and worker welfare - it’s why our products are not cheap - they have less hidden cost to people and the planet. Unfortunately this concern is not shared globally and much of the mica industry is fueled by child labor. Only one LINNÉ product contains mica and that is our new LAC ROSE which has been sourced in partnership with a pigment supplier who cares as much as we do. We pay a premium on this ingredient to help collectively support the costs of 3rd party verification and documentation. Our supplier cannot themselves be on the ground 24/7 and nothing can be guaranteed but they have established relationships exclusively with mines that share our values.

Only one product contains mica and that is our new LAC ROSE which has been supplied in partnership with a pigment supplier who cares as much as we do. We pay a premium on this ingredient to help collectively support the costs of 3rd party verification. They supply us documentation but of course cannot themselves be on the ground 24/7. Nothing is a guarantee but they have established relationships exclusively with mines that share our values. We are considering switching to synthesized micas to mitigate all potential concern but in the meantime please know that we would never support any operation that employs children or anyone in an unsafe working condition.
