Hello
I have made a natural lip balm that includes castor oil and beeswax and peppermint oil. Nice and simple.
Have found that with heat it melts to a very liquidy mess. Is there anything to use to give it a higher heat stability? other waxes?
Have also found that it melts and doesnt re solidify as well as originally would the peppermint oil be playing a role in this.
Thanks

Thats why EU authorities thinking to add about 200 more substances as allergens, that must be listed on our labels!
Even worse, there might be impurities in the product, such as metals, that cause irritant or allergic reactions.

It's a good idea to get patch-tested by a dermatologist or allergist, just in case. It's definitely possible you'll be allergic to or cross-react with carnuaba wax. Plant-based products tend to do that.
Microcrystalline and okozerite waxes are good substitutes, and they're technically "natural" (well, they are minerals),
