The pump wont work?
This is almost certainly due to the natural ingredients being affected by extreme temperatures. In very cold weather, stand the pump somewhere warm or on a radiator for 20-30 minutes – this should soften the ingredients and solve the problem. In extremely hot weather, pop the bottle in the fridge for 10 minutes until the balm is less runny.
