Is the jar brown? It appears that the coconut oil is caramel colored, i've never seen it that color before... if its the oil, whaaa?

The jar is brown. But the oil is not. Its just normal coconut oil. White-ish when it is solid and clear when it is not.

I think its either water or food colored veggie oil.....but not like a thick substance......it seems like its water based

It is like most oils, but kind of sweet, has its own smell like an essential oil. I don't dislike it, but if you can't stomach something like coconut oil, I don't recommend it. It is noticeable in my coffee and I stopped using it that way. Might be better to squeeze it into your mouth and take it straight. Or in something fruity like a smoothie.

No, mine came fine and new (sealed). You should send it back for exchange or refund. don't wait! I like this oil, the taste is not as strong as say extra virgin coconut oil.

This is definitely refined. A easy giveaway is the packaging - coconut oil is solid and only liquifies at 76 degrees or greater which is why it's sold in jars not bottles.I prefer to buy the huge jar of raw, unrefined coconut oil that way it has multiple uses and there's no degradation in the effectiveness.

I am pretty sure it is. Coconut oil does change consistency with the temperature... if it is cool/cold then it will gel, if it is warm then it is more of an oil.

Not sure. I was more concerned about the quality of the coconut oil than the container.

Edward, thank you for notifying us of the color and taste issue. We are checking into it. Please know, the color should be a very light brown but the taste should NOT be bitter. The taste will be extremely sweet but not bitter. The quality of the product should be fine since the contents are always the freshest available and sealed. If you experience this again, please notify us with the lot number and we will send a replacement or refund your money. Thanks again, Tim

Have you tried to shake it? I heard the brown is from the fragrance segment. Please shake and see if it makes any difference. :)

It doesn't look like it. The stuff with the Argon oil has a brown tone bottle and it says argon oil on it. Hope this helps.

Hi. I wouldn't say this is "normal" but I just received a bottle from them, and I've experienced the same thing. The oil is pressed from seeds, so I guess it just wasn't filtered properly. I'm going to run it through a coffee filter. That should take care of the problem.

This oil is much lighter than the oil I ordered from another vendor. It is light brown rather than dark brown. Is this the way it's supposed to look?

Here's what it says on the container I just received: Vitamin E, Lanolin, Aloe, Mineral Oil, Vegetable Oil and other Essential Ingredients enriched with FORMULA 291BOn ALL the other BDBB containers it lists "Hormones" this one doesn't. Also on Youtube they show the product as a reddish pink color, this one is blue. I don't think they are being honest about all the ingredients inside this jar because it doesn't list the product color. For this to be as blue as it is there is definitely some kind of dye blended in this grease. I just hope it works!

No, it is simply pure coconut oil with beta carotene added for color. If you want to add some butter flavor try adding some flavacol seasoning or butter flavored oil topping.

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's normal. Coconut oil is solid at cool (around 70) room temperature but it's soft enough to easily squeeze out. I think somewhere around 80 F it melts and changes to a liquid. I just squeeze the solid (but soft) coconut oil into the pot and enjoy!!

Yes, it is coconut butter, the oil is separated though... at the top, so I thought it was just the oil, but nope. I'd never heard of butter, I meant to order just oil but, Anyways, its fabulous quality and flavor.
