The product is rock solid even at 78 F room temp and the bottle is too tall to fit in my microwave.

Click Here To View 2 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Coconut Oil 76° is typically used in hair products. It also has a much thicker texture to it making it easier to use for application directly to the hair. The Fractionated Coconut Oil is a liquid and may be messier to apply.

Staff Answer While some oils, like coconut oil, can be used in cooking, our products are not approved for ingestion and should not be used to cook with. Wholesale Supplies Plus is a cosmetic supplier and the facility is not certified by the FDA for food repackaging.

"I melted this with cocoa butter, and I mixed it really well while melted, but now that it's cooled off for days, it seems the edges of the container I put it in is all coconut oil while the middle is cocoa butter. It is mixed, but there is a definite difference in some spots. I apply it to my dry facial skin and there are tiny bits of cocoa butter that take forever to melt. I'm going to melt it again, should I whip it to incorporate it better?"

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer You might try blending with a softer butter such as shea or mango along with the cocoa butter. You might also try placing in the frig for about 20 minutes after melting ingredients. Then whip with a blender and see if that will keep the consistency from separating.

If you're looking for a direct replacement, no. Of course there are a lot of lovely oils for soap, but the percentages of lather AND it's other benefits combined, in my opinion, don't come with any other oil.

I would say talk to your doctor first before trying anything with coconut oil. Sometimes a food allergy can be topical, sometimes not. If you don't have time to speak with your doctor, do a spot test on the inner corner of your elbow to see if you experience a reaction before using this oil. I have to do this with all store-bought detergents and some shampoos and it's the quickest way to know if you're going to have a problem.

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Hello Kimberly, Thank you for your question. We recommend placing the entire sealed bottle in a sink or bucket of hot water. This will help soften the oil. You may need to replace the water to soften the entire bottle. If the oil melts simply pour it out into a bowl and allow it to cool again before using in your recipe if it needs to be solid. Please feel free to call customer service for further assistance. 1-800-359-0944

"What is the difference between 76º and the unrefined you get in the grocery store as far as benefits for the skin? Is it the same? Can it be used out of the bottle on skin and hair? "

Click Here To View 2 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

WSP's 76 degree coconut oil is similar to what you would find at your local market. The difference is pricing. It is more cost effective to purchase from WSP as it is cheaper than the local market with shipping included. I did a price comparison with my local store and it is almost a $1.50 less at WSP for 32 ounces. The benefits are the same and coconut oil is excellent for the skin and hair out of the bottle/container.

It is food grade, though WSP cannot label it as food grade since they don't have food inspection. Since 76degree melts perfectly with body heat, it's great for lip products. Be careful with any shipping in warm temperatures. You can tell your customers to place lip balm in the frig until it solidifies again. WSP's coconut 76 melt is a great product.

Hello, A full drum is considered to be a 55 gallon container. In order to get the oil out you have to drum wrench to loosen the top and scoop your coconut oil out as needed (due to it being in solid form). For liquid oils like olive oil you can use a rotary drum pump which WSP does offer too. Thank you for your question Erin

If you notice in the overview, this oil is pressed and solvent extracted. It is my understanding that the solvent extraction deodorizes the oil. Only a virgin coconut oil will retain the coconut smell.
