More Info
Our fractionated coconut oil—often referred to as MCT oil—is derived from 100% refined coconut oil, making it a stable, liquid oil that’s perfect for skincare formulations. Unlike standard coconut oil, fractionated coconut oil undergoes processing that removes the longer fatty acids, resulting in a versatile oil that remains liquid at all temperatures. This makes it a perfect choice for body oils, facial serums, and other products where you want a light, smooth, and easily absorbed oil.
This MCT oil is incredibly versatile in DIY beauty and skincare. It’s ideal for use as a carrier oil, blending smoothly with essential oils without overpowering scents. Thanks to its stable structure, it has a long shelf life and won’t oxidise easily, making it a reliable choice for brands and individuals creating long-lasting products. Whether you’re making lotions, soaps, or simply looking for a hydrating oil that doesn’t clog pores, fractionated coconut oil adds the perfect texture to enhance your formulations.
With its neutral scent and quick absorption, fractionated coconut oil is also great for massage oils, giving a lightweight feel that hydrates without leaving any greasy residue. Perfect for both personal and professional use, this oil delivers the moisturising benefits of coconut oil in a form that’s less likely to clog pores, making it a hit for all skin types.
