Is this product and all other coconut oil always solid at room temperature? It has to be heated up to be liquid?

Yes. real, pure coconut oil has a melt point of about 70 or 75 degrees, so yes it's solid at lower temperatures. I use it after I get out of the shower. In the winter I just keep by the heater vent. The food grade coconut oil is sold in wider mouthed jars for scooping.

Mine had a few bumps, but that's to be expected with an unrefined oil. I have no complaints about the smell. It smells wonderfull! If the jar you have has a lot of fine little beads in it, then it has most likely been heated up to the point where it is liquefied more than once. I have had that happen with other brands of coconut oil that I kept in rooms that were around 70 degrees. It liquefied, and when it hardened again it had little bumps in it.

It solidifies fairly smooth and shiny once it melts, but from the factory (or after being solid for a while, maybe) it is somewhat flaky/fluffy, though not nearly as much as the butter. Once you warm it even slightly, it doesn't make any difference. Both the oil and the butter seem to melt at just under 80F.

Yes but processed so it is a liquid. Virgin coconut oil is a solid but melts around 76 degrees. Either would be a good choice. They do not smell or taste like coconut. Have very little smell or taste. Absorbs into the skin very well. Hope that helps

Well the melting point is over 120 F. Which means it is a solid at room temp. I don't think I would put it in my hair in pure form. Coconut oil melts at body temp, so would not solidify

The oil comes in a solid form and melts at 76 degrees. Therefore, when you put some in your hand, it begins to melt almost immediately. You will really enjoy this stuff. Great for everything!

It's actually a solid until you break up the top. Once you do that, it's creamy. Keep in mind to keep it in a cool area because it's a solid under 76 degrees and a liquid over that.

no problem, that's normal. I keep mine in the fridge and it's also solid, it's just because there is some coconut oil in the mix.

This was a solid at my room temp which was less than 80 degrees. If you allow your food to cool off too much, you may end up with solid pieces of coconut. When I put it in my shakes that's exactly what happened.

the product is coconut oil based. It will solidify in cool temperatures, but will liquify in warm. Run the bottle under hot water or you can place it in the microwave for a few seconds. The product will liquify quite easily.

If the drink is warm and kept above 76°. This product is solid below 76° and liquid above that temperature. If you try to mix it into a smoothie, it would be a wax consistency.

Kari,The consistency of coconut oil depends largely on the temperature. When warmed, this product will become a clearer liquid. At room temperature it is a solid. Let me know if you need anything else, and have a great day.-Kaylan with customer service

when the weather gets hot all coconut oils melt into a liquid. if you want it solid then keep it refrigerated.

Yes. Unfortunately coconut oil tends to harden under colder temperatures... Place the bottle in some hot water and it will liquefy pretty easily.

Because coconut oil has a low melting point so if it gets above 80 degrees it is going to become a liquid.

This product is coconut butter, a product made from the whole flesh of the coconut, not just the oil. Similar to a nut butter. Coconut oil, however, is simply the oil pressed from the coconut. This product has a much stronger coconut taste because it uses the coconut flesh. The texture is also quite similar to nut butters, although it is much harder at room temperature. It helps to heat it up a bit (setting the jar in a bowl of hot water) before mixing and spreading. The oil separates from the rest of the solids, so you might find a layer of coconut oil on top of the coconut solids. Again, though, just heat it and stir. I use it the way I use nut butters.

The coconut solids are delicious. If the oil has separated to the top, I scrape it off and use it as cooking oil. I use it in smoothies and cookies for an intense coconut flavor. I don't know exactly what coconut butter is. But this stuff is truly delicious.
