Pure Jojoba Oil should solidify at low temperatures. I placed Leven Rose Jojoba Oil in the refrigerator for over a month. Why didn't it solidify?

Yes it should. The company claimed to have removed the waxy esters that are in the oil so that's why it doesn't solidify. However, it's the waxy esters that makes jojoba oil most similar to our natural skin oil and absorb better. The seller said that by removing the waxy ester, the oil will absorb better. Contradicting no? So the product we paid for clearly isn't what it's supposed to be.

Leven Rose, your description says it's an "oil (actually a wax)" and then you claim that you're filtering the wax out of it. How does that work?

I don't think so. I've used Neem Oil from various sources and it has always been a viscous liquid. Is it possible that it was exposed to very cold weather during shipping? If so, keeping it at room temperature should allow it to become liquid again.

If you let it sit out in temperatures 78 degrees Fahrenheit or higher it will liquefy and be easier to use. Then if you want it solid again, put it in the refrigerator.

I haven't had a problem with oils hardening in the refrigerator except for olive oil. No answer for olive oil.

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

This is fish oil. It can go bad. I refrigerate mine after opening, but it starts out viscous at room temp and gets even thicker when refrigerated, so you have to thaw it out for a while. It's really fishy too - go figure.

Leah, only oils are cold pressed; powders (like NOW Spirulina Powder), not being liquid, can't possibly be cold pressed. :)

I do not store my Rose-hip oil in the refrigerator. It can be safely stored in the cool dark areas of your bathroom medicine cabinet or other cool cabinets or storage areas. Refrigeration will cause the oil to possibly solidify, so room temperature in cool darkened areas would be best. Enjoy! I love my Rose-hip oil.

Yes...BUT... Like all unprocessed oils cold preserves the integrity of the omega 3 content (I keep mine in the freezer for maximum preservation because it stays liquid), however, unlike most perishables it does not need continuous cold to prevent spoiling. This is why it can be shipped in a normal box. As long as it is kept cold most of the time and especially after it is opened it will be fine (same goes for flax oil). If it gets warm after opening it needs to be used up pretty quick or it will start to go bad. I recommend alternating between hemp and flax for maximum omega fatty acid nutrition. Yes...BUT...

Yes I believe it solidifies at 74 to 76° You can refrigerated if you'd like

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.

The oil is solid at 76 degrees and under, however in temperatures above 76 degrees the oil is in liquid phase. It is okay for it to go from solid to liquid.

low, and it requires refrigeration after opening. If you are in search of joint help, stay on the liquid when ever possible. I'm having much success usingDynamic Health Liquid Joint Elixir with MSM Pineapple and Mango

I keep mine in the fridge because it takes a while to get through a bottle and I'd rather not risk it going rancid, but the great thing about this oil is that it stays fluid when cold. It's really great for making salad dressing for that very reason...flows right out of the container without having to wait for it to warm to room temperature.

Hello Wanda... thank you for your inquiry. Barlean's products are designed to not have to be refrigerated for storing and/or shipping. Here's what it says on their website: Do you ship the oil refrigerated? Does the transit time affect the oils? Either high heat (over 300 degrees F) or sustained heat over a very long period of time can degrade Omega-3 oils. The relatively short transit times and variable seasonal temperatures encountered during transit have been found to be insignificant when tested extensively. Even shipments arriving in summer heat waves can be assured as being potent and undamaged. However, after the product has been opened. Barlean's Flax oil, fish oils and Omega Swirls should be refrigerated in your home. I don't know why some Grocery retailers sometimes refrigerate and others do not. To make matters a little more confusion... I couldn't find anywhere on the label where it says to refrigerate after opening. For me, I keep a bottle of the lemon swirl at my desk (not refrigerated) for my daily dose and it always taste great! I hope this information is helpful to you.. Have a great day! IWe appreciate to opportunity to help you... If you order, Please choose NutraScience to order your Barlean's products! Best regards, NutraScience Customer Care Team.

I transfer to a jar after softening as directed . I just finished a jar after a few months on the shelf and it was delicious as always. Usually it gets used within a month or so. Great product.

The viscosity changes depending on temperature. Try putting it in the fridge or freezer.
