Those bottles of liquefied coconut oil have undergone extra processing, eliminating some of the fatty acids that are responsible for keeping it solid in the first place.

Though this isn't true of all brands: Some refined oils , especially organic ones, are actually extracted using steam. Check the manufacturer's website to be sure.
