I recently received this product and it's real thick/stiff and looks like dry wax, doesn't resemble an oil based product. Did I get some bad stuff?

no, it contains coconut oil which will harden upon cooling. if you have a heater in the bathroom, sit it on there. it will remain liquefied, then just use as directed.

No you did not. I just gave myself a wonderful hot oil treatment a few days ago using Vartika. It started out solid. I heated water in a large plastic container until it boiled then I placed the entire bottle of vartika in it and left for about 7 minutes. Viola! It turned into a liquid.

You didn't receive bad stuff. With coconut oil being the main ingredient, it will solidify in temperatures above 76. F, so you'd just need to warm it up a bit before attempting to use. Soaking in warm water for a bit will cause it to liquify, once this happens be sure to shake well before you use it. Hope this helps

The product should have the same properties as coconut oil. Solid in cold temperatures and liquefy in warm temperatures.

No, it is in a coconut oil base and coconut oil hardens into a solid a solid form when at room temperature or colder. Just carry it with you into the shower or put the bottle into a warm bowl of water. It will soften up within a minute and you will be able to pour it. Do not microwave it as this "nukes" the nutrients and lessens the potency.

the product is coconut oil based. It will solidify in cool temperatures, but will liquify in warm. Run the bottle under hot water or you can place it in the microwave for a few seconds. The product will liquify quite easily.

Maybe its frozen. Allow it to melt. I usally run hot water over it. It tends to become soild in colder weather.

yes, if it gets cold it thick/stiff but just set the bottle in hot water and it melts Shake well it's good stuff

Not to my knowledge, it is an old formula made from a blend of numerous hard waxes, why mess with a tried and true product. Good stuff.

I've been using this stuff for quite a while & I was really put off by the color as well. It used to be so much darker. Mine did not have a bad smell ... it just seemed like they had diluted it. I contacted the company & they said that they have a new "processing system" but they assured me that they weren't diluting it. I don't know if I believe it because it doesn't seem to have the same effects that it had before. With that said, I am still using it.

Upon arrival of mine, the wax in the bottom was like a "Hockey Puck". I plugged the lamp in and within 4 hours the wax had melted and everything seemed to working perfectly. If your wax never melted, I think you should contact your place of purchase.

I don't believe it was. It was more like a thick paste. My heels were very soft though.

No. In fact, I think it is polymer/wax based. To me, it enhances any existing wax. It's not harsh at all... Tbh though, I switched to Optimum No Rinse and like it much better.

The can of Trewax Mahogany Paste Wax that I received for Fathers' Day has not been opened. But it sounds and feels like the older can when both are shaken. My older can was ordered from Amazon around February, 2013, and seemed a bit dried out, but has been used without problems. For furniture needing a "deeper" cleaning and waxing, I use Howard Restore-a-Finish (Mahogany) followed by Howard Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner.

It's not waxy. It's like aquaphor but natural. It may feel waxy because your hair and skin are leeching the nutrients it needs from the Shea. Try adding coconut oil or a week almond oil and whip it. It will take out the waxy effect and have a more oily base that adds wonder, shine, and strength to your hair. Try adding about 3 drops of lavender as well. :)

No, it's a much harder wax. It really feels like plastic. Slightly pliable but sturdy.

It sounds like a bad batch. I've been using product for a while & without issues.

I ordered the Jubilee Kitchen Wax product, and received the bottle (clear plastic) and the liquid wax was white in color. I think that it turns yellow as it ages. I don't know whether the bottle in the picture was very old when the picture was taken. However, I had a very old bottle (glass) of Jubilee that I had from years ago. The product was very thick, and somewhat yellow. It never turned as yellow as the picture. The new product seems the same as I remember.

There should be no grittiness in this product. It is exceptionally smooth and an excellent moisturizer. If you purchased it and you found it to be gritty, contact the merchant because something is not right.

I have not used the product in a while, since I finished my last jar. This had a very unpleasant odor and I could not determine if it was the real thing or a knock-off. Patricia, look on the Amazon page for this product and you will see what the ingredients are; otherwise, look up the Egyptian Magic website itself for lots of information about the cream.

My understanding is that real wax is used, and if so it would not fare well in the sun. Perhaps another buyer has tried this and will answer.

It SHOULD be an oil, which is basically clear on sight. You may have received the wrong product.

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.
