• Unique Texture: With its smooth texture and non-greasy finish, fractionated coconut oil is compatible with a wide range of ingredients, providing an ideal base for custom recipes.

Fractionated Coconut Oil, also known as MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides), is an exceptionally stable, light, and odour-free oil derived from coconuts. It’s the go-to base oil for DIY skincare enthusiasts and businesses alike.

This fractionated coconut oil is processed to remove the long-chain fatty acids, resulting in a liquid oil that remains stable and free-flowing at all temperatures, unlike traditional coconut oil. MCT oil is non-greasy, hypoallergenic, and readily absorbed, making it an excellent choice for sensitive skin formulations and lightweight cosmetics.

Whether you're creating nourishing skin serums, luxurious body oils, or refreshing hair care products, fractionated coconut oil is the ideal carrier oil. It’s loved for its compatibility with other oils and essential oils, allowing you to create stable and effective formulations that glide smoothly and absorb quickly.

This versatile oil is also a favourite in aromatherapy as it mixes well with other essential oils, enhancing their fragrance and extending their shelf life.

In addition to its cosmetic uses, MCT oil can be found in cleaning products for those seeking natural alternatives, thanks to its mild properties and compatibility with natural surfactants. As always, remember to test this oil on a patch of skin before applying it fully to ensure it’s suitable for your skin type.
