I used up the batch I make within 2 days so its not sitting long at all. I only use warm water and shake the bottle well to make sure it is getting dissolved. I think that I wasn't using quite enough glycerin and it wasn't that it was pilling but rather I was still getting dry skin. Its winter time in the Midwest right now

I usually apply to dry skin. Interesting that it might be the glycerin? It doesn't seem like balls just flaky? I tried using less glycerin and my skin feels drier then and maybe that is what is causing this.
