Fractionated Coconut Oil - Natural Oil for Skin & Haircare

Extracted from coconut (Cocos nucifera) and processed to separate the medium-chain triglycerides, this ultra-lightweight oil remains liquid at all temperatures. Valued for its exceptional stability and feather-light texture, fractionated coconut oil has become one of the most popular base oils in natural cosmetic formulations and aromatherapy applications.

About This Oil

Fractionated coconut oil is created through a process that separates and removes the long-chain fatty acids from regular coconut oil, leaving only the medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). This oil is completely clear, colourless, and virtually odourless, with an indefinite shelf life that sets it apart from most other cosmetic oils.

Unlike regular coconut oil which solidifies at cooler temperatures, fractionated coconut oil remains liquid even in cold conditions, making it exceptionally versatile for year-round use. The fractionation process creates an oil with unique properties that have made it a staple in both professional and home cosmetic formulations.

This oil has an extraordinarily light texture - lighter than almost any other cosmetic oil - and absorbs into skin remarkably quickly without leaving any greasy residue whatsoever. Its completely neutral profile makes it the ideal carrier for essential oils, as it won't interfere with their aromas or properties.

Fractionated coconut oil is exceptionally stable and virtually immune to rancidity, giving it an indefinite shelf life when stored properly. This remarkable stability, combined with its neutral characteristics and feather-light feel, has made it one of the most widely used carrier oils in aromatherapy and natural cosmetics.
