I sure found a winner for the heat tolerance of the babassu this trip! My car has not only tested my patience and heat tolerance, it has also tested my deodorant using Magnesium Hydroxide in Babassu oil (and additives) with temps inside the cabin of my car remaining at a constant 114°F for several hours and also 120°F for at least 2-3 hours for two or three days in a row this trip!
I forgot to put my deo into my cooler in my car on Saturday morning in my rush to pack the car and depart my hotel room. I showered after packing, so my deo stayed out of the cooler, and I forgot to put it there as planned when I got into the car. It sat in a small bag with a few last minute things on the floor of the passenger's side of the car while driving without the aide of AC for two full days before I realized where I had left it. On Sunday morning when I couldn't find it, I wasn't even sure where I'd put it, if it was in my car's cabin or the trunk or even left behind in the hotel. I did later realize where it was while trying to cool off at a rest area parked in a non-parking space under some trees for the shade. There it was un-melted after several hours inside that horribly hot car.
Remembering the time I brought it along and it melted when it was only babassu & MgOH, and since then with the 3% beeswax when I always kept it in the cooler, but didn't think to actually test it outside the cooler, but even if I had, my AC didn't go out until this trip, I know for sure the added cera bellina wax and rice bran wax (accidentally used two when my plan was to use only one, but since it's done, that's what I am currently using) will not melt in a car with such high temps sitting all day and all night for a minimum of 48 hours.
Now when I say 120°F, I am talking about the heat in the cabin of the car while I was inside of it and driving with and windows cracked for ventilation. This does not account for the heat build-up while I was not inside the car when I locked the car to go inside rest rooms, etc, which I did a few times. The heat would tend to build up even more in those situations, but I failed to make note of any temperatures inside the car higher than 120° because I was really trying to figure out how hot the air my AC was blowing through the vents. Obviously, not a desirable situation, but I certainly learned something about my current deo formula's resistance to heat inside a hot car! Do I plan to repeat this accidental experiment? Not if I can help it, but since the AC in my car isn't fixed yet, the opportunity still exists! But this is the only deo I have with me, so no, not any time soon.
