I have a small clear glass bottle near my chair andi use it on my skin-when it is dry or has a cut or lesion
I thought it was anti everything...bacterial, viral, fungal
it seems like overnight-but it may be a few dys there is a circle of black in the bottom...it looks like mold-i dont know for sure
But how could this happen
I have been told repestedly it doesnt spoil

That is very weird. I bought a five gallon bucket of it and used it for over a year (for my horses actually). It was fine just sitting out all that time.

Maybe the lid wasn't tight and mold got in it??
What a bummer.

But its really strong anti fungal...how could it grow in there

I noticed little dark spots in my coconut oil that I keep in the kitchen in a little dish. Didn't know what it was. I googled 'can coconut oil get mold in it" Apparently, if you get water in the oil it can get mold and bacteria.
Yikes! I have been putting it on my back. It needs to be kept in a cool dark place and covered. If your hands are wet when you dip in the oil it becomes contaminated.
Thanks for posting the question Ip. Now I have to demold myself. Will it never end?

Shoot. I cant believe it-have to toss it i guess

I had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago! I opened my fairly new jar of coconut oil and it had black mold growing on top of it. Beats me how it happened - I just tossed it.

If it's new.. call the company.

yes, I was gonna say, if you got something in there it could infect it.
I have a bottle of barely used BRAGGS ACV and it has some huge funky blob thing in it. I used it for a little before noticing and now I see it... YUCK!!!!
this is why I like to use a separate utensil for every dip. and why expensive cosmetic brands supply a dipping stick with their face creams- contamination

Doesn't bragg's ACV always come with a funky blob in it?
Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :
But coconut oil is supposed to be anti fungal??? It doesnt make sense mild could grow there

ACV is supposed to have the "mother" in it .... says so on the bottle. It's a raw vinegar, not like the processed stuff.

I have purchased BRAGGS for the last 15 years and don't remember seeing this white blob thing before, but I was thinking it was OK any way....
