The same best practise rule applies to cosmetic making as it does to cooking – aluminium reacts with low pH (acidic) & high pH (alkaline) ingredients such as fruit acids etc., allowing aluminium particles to leach into the finished formula. As adjusting a formula’s pH is usually the last stage in the making process, & it’s difficult to know if you’ve kept your formula between 4-9pH during the making process, it’s probably better to be safe, & stick to glass or stainless steel.

TBF, I can’t imagine the recipe author doesn’t know this, so it’s probably just a proof-reading oversight.

Thank you for the recipe and information on ingredients to use. I made it following the recipe, however I’ve found that since the ratio of coconut oil (which melts easily) to other ingredients is higher, it liquifies too easily. What would your suggestion be to avoid that from happening? Thanks!

In reply to Alley-Jean Reiner. I usually cut it in half if I'm converting from Bees wax to candelilla. i.e. is takes less candelilla because it is a harder wax.

Please do not use aluminum bowl for cosmetic making. Only use glass or stainless steel bowl. Thank you for your attention go this issue.

You could but it would change the texture of the lip balm! If you want to make a lip balm without coconut oil then take a look at this recipe: https://organic-beauty-recipes.com/diy-lip-balm-recipe/
