What is the consistency of neem oil? The one I got is quite solid like old honey, but I expected a liquid oil. Is this normal?

This was the first time I had bought neem oil so I'm not sure what the consistency should be, but mine is thick as well. I think that for whatever reason this is the consistency of neem oil. I'm sure you could put the bottle in hot water to liquefy it.

It's semi solid and you can quickly run the bottle under warm water to make the consistency like thick olive oil.

I have no experience with neem oil. however, if instructions indicate neem oil is to be mixed in a sprayer & sprayed on, I have no doubt this unit could handle it. I've been extremely pleased with mine. it is one well designed tough hombre.

I've used straight Neem oil that comes in a spray bottle, (which is only about 15% neem). When you dilute the 70% stuff to the right strength it works just as good if not better. No plant damage, smell or pet hazard. And its 1/10 the cost! Highly recommend

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.

On the bottle it says "Castor Oil Plant (Oil Nut Tree) We use the seeds of this magical plant to make our hand processed black castor oil". I found it thick and sticky like honey. I am not fond of this feeling in my hair or on me so quit using it. It also has on the bottle "Use in hair, skin moisturizer and massage oil for aches and pains". I did use in hair, but not for aches and pains so can't say how well it works in that area. Good luck!

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.

I think it works for my hair, but amazon didn't send me the bottle on the picture, but small 2 bottle. The oil is not liquid but hard even though I keep it in my room. It is very difficult to use.

Hi, the bottle of neem oil I have is in the bottle shown, which is a little opaque. To preserve it longer it can be kept in a cool place such as the fridge. You can also transfer it to a cobalt or brown glass bottle purchased from your local health store. Hope this helps. This neem oil is nice quality.

Mine was quite liquid when I received it directly from Amazon, but as with other "natural" sunscreens they typically need to be shaken up a bit to redistribute the product & make sure everything is well mixed, especially if they have been sitting unused for a period of time. Mine mixed up well & is still perfect. I am about to reorder now!

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.

To me the order isn't bad at all. Closest comparison would be to say it's almost like vegetable cooking oil. No perfumes or scents added to keep it pure, so that might be considered a trade off. Definitely not an obnoxious order at all.

No, but it's new. People in the reviews claiming that they thought the oil was expired said so bc the oil wasn't room temperature. When the oil gets cool, it solidifies. It confused some ppl into thinking it was bad. It's good as new once you run the bittle under warm water for a minute, or set under a lamp, or something. It's worth the hassle in the winter! :)I've had the same bottle now for about a year, and it's still good. I hope his helps.

I talked to customer service about the awful smell. They said it's bc it is pure and has not been refined. It is normal for the pure oil to smell this way. I agree tho, it stinks.

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.

I actually didn't know that. I'm new to the essential oils. I under the impression that this was a pure, unprocessed essential oils, so I would be disappointed if it was processed. If you learn anything, please let me know. -thank you

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

Melissa sorry it has taken me awhile to respond to your question but I have been away from a computer from a while. about the oil, I didn't like the oil. it was very heavy and messy on my hair and I stopped after two uses. I prefer the liquid gold hair growth crème that is much better and results are from after a few weeks use.
