Iconic Formulations Ultra Epi - Crystals

Hey guys,

My most recent Black Friday order of Ultra Epi seems to be leaving large hard crystals behind after drying. (See attached picture) I can feel the grit as I rub it in. Haven't noticed this before but looking for advice how to fix this. Should I run it under hot water? Would this degrade the product? Thanks!

Shave that hair…. I had the same issue and after shaving or buzzing it really low it absorbed better
 
I have no idea if its the hair but at least I can confirm I did not have crystals and only used it on hairless areas, lol....
 
I guess I could see the hair causing a little absorption issues but really it's not much hair at all. I can see the crystals in the bottle and feel grit as I rub it in. I don't think hair is playing into this as I apply plenty of other products of theirs to this area and zero issues. This is a first.

I’ve had bottles with that grit in it too. It’s annoying but I felt like the product still worked. I never got much of an answer but it might just be the carrier experiencing temperature changes. I really don’t know, but I understand the aggravation of it.

Do you think running it under hot water would help redissolve it? I am thinking about trying it out tonight.
 
Tagging @delsolrob for you. He's the owner of Iconic.
 
Usually shaking it daily helps with making sure the ingredients stay mixed. Never had a crystal issue when I did that.
 
Thanks! @sns8778 Purely speculation here on my end so will be good to hear from Rob. My guess is a simple hot water bath will redissolve it. Maybe the cold weather shipping crystalized it.

This can also help

I can't speak for Rob, so don't take this as 100%, I can only answer this as to if you asked me about it related to an XPG product, but if I were answering for that, I would say that it was likely from getting hot/cold, hot/cold, like maybe in transit, or if do what I'm terrible about and set it on a bathroom counter in front of a vent.
 
i noticed the same thing from iconic transdermal epi(which i enjoyed), i just snacked on the flavor crystals when i saw them on my arm once the carrier was dry. even the prototype version of alpha stano powder from alpha gainz that was a mixture of epiandrosterone/androsterone and cyclodextrin had similar crystallization to this. i can not say for certain if epiandrosterone has a propensity to do this and/or if micronizing the powder directly before compounding it would have any effect, some substances crystalize in solution after also in lots of cases, would be nice to hear about the manufacturing process of your gels Rob.
