Grainy, Smelly, Irritating…GREEN: What Happened to Rhode’s Lip Balm?

Instagram - james_s_welsh Unboxing Channel - @JaymesPlays1 Rhode Skin has been the “It Girl” brand since Hailey Bieber launched it in 2022. But today, we need to talk about the controversy that's shaken up their best-selling product: the Peptide Lip Treatment. In this video, I take a deep dive into the rising complaints from customers who claim the viral lip balm is grainy, smelly, and even irritating their skin. We'll look into what might be causing these issues, how Rhode responded (or didn’t), and what cosmetic chemists have to say about it all. Is this just what happens when a brand gets too big too fast? Or is there something seriously wrong with Rhode’s star product?
