A verb needed with 'coconut oil'

[Tom]

Hi

I hope you all apply coconut oil in your hair or at least have seen it. My question is this oil sort of "solidifies" or "freezes" or "settles" in its bottle--even in summer. What is the word (verb) for this action.

1- Coconut oil____________ very easily making it difficult for a person to apply.

Tom

PS: I do not think freeze is a good choice here!?? What do you think?

[Yankee]

What about congeal?

[Conchita]

You can also say that coconut oil solidifies.

[NinaZara]

Even in summer? Mine solidifies in winter and I use it for my lips so it's easier to use because of its solid form.

[Abr4xii]

You could say it "Granulates"

[Conchita]

Perhaps also: crystallises, thickens, hardens?

I've just realised that my first suggestion was totally useless, since Tom had already said that word!
