Can Essential Balm Be Kept in a Car?
1 Answers
Keeping essential balm in a car poses certain risks. Here are some details about essential balm: 1. First point: Essential balm is mainly composed of menthol, camphor, methyl salicylate, eucalyptus oil, eugenol, chlorophyll, and fragrances. Although it does not contain alcohol and is not classified as a flammable item, these active ingredients can have a combustion-promoting effect. If a fire occurs in the car, essential balm may contribute to the combustion. 2. Second point: If essential balm is left for a long time in front of a car window exposed to sunlight during high temperatures, it may explode. In fact, items like car perfumes and lighters are also flammable. Especially during hot summer months, it is best not to keep such items in the car, as both the external and internal temperatures of the car can become very high, increasing the risk of explosion or fire.
