    If they melt too much, or the resulting melt is too thin, like straight coconut oil, they won’t stay in place long enough to do much.

    The best fats for balms are solid or semi-solid at human skin temp, often blends of wax and whatever lipid. Or petroleum jelly. I’m not sure how that’s classified…
