I am so confused

[SouthernStunner]

Ok so I sent DH to the Vitamin store to get me some coconut oil he brought back a 16oz jar of solid coconut oil. I thought it was suppose to be liquid? Am I suppose to melt it?

TIA

Yes most times it becomes solid and it takes a little heat to melt it, it melts really easy!!

It's good that it's solid. That means it's unrefined.

If it is liquid, don't buy it! A lot of the nutrients have been stripped from it that way.

Also, it shouldn't have a strong scent, if it does that means that they added artificial fragrance to it.

It melts right in your hand... just rub a little between your palms

so I can't just put it in an applicator bottle like I do my other oils 'cause it may not remain in its liquid form?

You can put it in there, just run hot water over the bottle to melt it or put it in the microwave for a small amount of time, coconut oil melts really easy.

Thanks so much! U just saved me from making myself look real dumb with the hubby by telling him he got the wrong thing. I can hear him now "the new hair guru didn't know that cocnut oil comes solid"......I would not be able to live that down for a long time

It's melting point is 76 degrees, maybe you can keep it in a closet or on a windowsill, but it's not hard to melt at all.

If I mix it with another oil or anything else will that keep it liquid or will it still revert to a solid?

 

[SignatureBeauty]

You can mix it with another oil, I know other people do and it stays pretty liquidy, but it is best to keep it in a warm place if you want it to stay liquid. it just melts so fast I mean as soon as you touch it, It melts.

even though its somewhat solid it should still be very soft and just rub/melt right in

i don't even heat mine's. i just rub it in my hands and the body heat/friction is enough to melt it.
