How to Get Coconut Oil to Not Harden

Virgin coconut oil itself does not come in a liquid like olive oil or canola oil. Instead, it is a thick substance that first needs to be softened to use directly on your skin or in a beauty concoction. However, there are some ways to keep it from hardening completely.

Combine it With Other Oils or Make a Scrub

As you probably know, other types of oil remain as a liquid. You can combine your coconut oil with these other oils, keep it stored in a bottle or container, and keep it as a liquid. This does require using the other ingredients along with your coconut oil, but you will use one that is also beneficial for the skin.

A good option is to combine it with olive oil, making sure it is 1 part coconut oil and 1 part olive oil. This is safe for your skin and very soft and moisturizing. You can also try adding some essential oils like lavender or sweet orange along with kosher salt to turn it into a scrub that will never harden completely.

Castor oil and avocado oils are also great options to use to mix with your coconut oil for beauty purposes.

Coconut oil added to your diet will also aid in your overall health. Check out how in our eBook, Heal Your Body with Coconut Oil. You can also check out the free guide to adding coconut oil in your diet below.

Leave it in a Hot Environment

Another good way you can keep your coconut oil from hardening if you want to keep it more of a liquid consistency is by storing it in a hot environment. Unlike cooking oils like vegetable oil or olive oil, you don’t actually have to keep the coconut oil stored in a cool, dry climate to keep it from spoiling.

Coconut oil can handle different environments, it just might not remain fresh for quite as long. If you tend to need the coconut oil as liquid most of the time and don’t want to worry about actually warming it up, then keep it in an area of your home that is warmer, or even near a window where the sun will warm the container.

Warm the Coconut Oil Quickly

Warming coconut oil is actually really simple to do and doesn’t require even using a microwave, which is not recommended. If you are not able to keep the coconut oil in a way that keeps it a liquid, then you can simply rub a small amount between your hands. Keep rubbing it until it starts to soften.

Another method is to use a double boiler, with water in the bottom pan, then the container of coconut oil in the top in its own container. This also takes just a few minutes.
