I know this is listed as unrefined, but do you have to melt down and strain this product prior to use? Or can you use it straight from the package?

I saw no impurities and used it as it is. It's smooth and lightly fragrant.

I used mine in lotion. I had to melt it down to allow it to mix with the other oils. It does harden again.

I didn't have to when I used mine. Perhaps I should have. The instructions as I understand is there is this metal looking gadjet inside of each that should be bent with fingers through the package. Once you hear snapping sounds while bending that metal piece stats the starts the process of heat.

I seem to get questions, all the time, about this product that I purchased some time ago. I 'm certainly not an expert on it. I can tell you that I refrigerated my bottle and would bring it to room temperature before using it. I had it for quite a while since it is used in small amounts. I never suffered any ill effects from it.

You can use it right out of the packaging, but some people prefer to wash it first to removing any packaging odors there may be. This is only optional and not required. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I don't have an appropriate answer for that since I only mix what I'm going to use right away. However, since there are no preservatives in the product, I would probably refrigerate it if not used within a couple of hours.

The instructions indicate you sprinkle it on a medium fire. Ok, that doesn't make any sence to me what so ever. I simply place the powder on a flat board and spread it out nicely. Then I insert the board carefully on top of the fire from the side. It seems to work well, and I don't get that crispy burnt hand feeling. Wish you the best.

I don't know what the melt method is. Sorry I can't be of more help to you. Good luck.

Yes, in this case putting it in a blender, and then straining/kneading is the best way.There are a couple great vender out there also with Critical c02 extracts that work great, they are called paradise kava.I strongly suggest you check out the kava forum also.it is kavaforums.com

Just like coconut oil, it will be solid at normal room temperature. As it states on the package, you can add warm water to dissolve it. I just break off chunks of it and then add it to a recipe if it is being heated. Make sure to keep it refrigerated after you open the package, which makes it even harder. I agree, I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't liquid as I expected it to be more like coconut water.

In a dry place - it has a zip seal built into the bag, so just keep it away from moisture. No refrigeration necessary until you mix it.

I'm not a professional but I have used already mixed product a second time, BUT it was refrigerated after mixing until the time of use. If it has been sitting out since the time it was originally mixed, I don't know if it is still good to use.

I do keep it refrigerated, and don't order if its going to be hot, you may loose some of the effectiveness or possibly ruin it completely. Great product IMHO

Mine arrived in liquid form. You can warm it if you like as a conditioning treatment for dry hair and put on a plastic cap. I do that for about 20 minutes while I do other things. However, you do not have to. For your skin, you do not have to warm it. I did refrigerate mine because I prefer it in a solidifed form and rub it in the palms of my hands and it liquifies quickly. Hope that helped you.

I would definitely melt it. It has a wax like consistency so it would be quite difficult to whip up. This seller is great because they send you recipes as to what u can mix and use it for.

The directions say to dry on low, and to wash before using for the first time. I dried it on low and it came out with two melted spots so it's being returned. I suspect all dryers are different and it's probably not worth risking putting it through a machine dry cycle.

I use it to make homemade soaps. I melt it and then put it in with my other oils, I would try to melt it slowly you don't want to heat it too much,just till it is melted ,you don't want to lose the great properties . And you don't want to burn yourself ,let it cool before applying it .I really hope this helps you ❤️

It really depends on how long you leave it in, and possibly how long you let it "cure." The package says to mix it and it's ready to go, but just about everywhere else on the Internet says to let it sit overnight.
