As an all-natural product, the consistency of our salve changes with the temperature. The most versatile container for both extreme cold and moderate heat is the stick. The SNB double-wall tub is designed to act as a little thermos to protect the salve from extreme heat. The tub blend becomes rather hard at temps below 65°F but is perfect for hot temperatures. In hotter temperatures, such as 90+°F, use the tub. However, if you have the tub in freezing weather, you can still use it. Simply twist off the top, squeeze the sides of the tub together, and pop the SNB puck in your hand. You can use the puck like a bar of soap where needed.
