Product Description:

Fractionated Coconut Oil is a processed form of coconut oil (Cocos nucifera) in which the longer chain fatty acids are separated out, leaving behind a lighter oil composed mainly of medium chain fatty acids. Unlike regular coconut oil, which solidifies in cooler temperatures, Fractionated Coconut Oil remains liquid at all temperatures, making it easier to measure, pour, and blend. The oil is colourless to pale yellow with no coconut scent, a very light texture, and fast absorption into the skin. Because of its neutral character and stability, it has become one of the most widely used carrier oils for diluting essential oils. At Maduras Herbals, we supply Fractionated Coconut Oil as a raw material for cosmetic manufacturers, DIY formulators, aromatherapists, and skin care product developers looking for a stable, odourless carrier oil.
