My Jojoba Arrived Cloudy or Solid, is There Something Wrong?

Does jojoba oil solidify or can it freeze? During colder winter months, we sometimes get calls from worried customers about cloudy or solidified jojoba oil. This is perfectly normal and there is no reason for concern. As the temperature drops jojoba oil will become cloudy, frozen, or solid. Hardening at lower temperatures is a normal process that occurs with most waxes and fats (remember jojoba oil is actually NOT an oil but a liquid wax). Typically, jojoba will start to get cloudy or solidify at around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. During winter more customers will experience this natural process. If you look at the image on the left, you will notice that one of the bottles of jojoba is clear and the other is cloudy. The bottle on the left was exposed to cold temperatures. After an hour or so at room temperature it looked just like the bottle on the right.
