Fractionated coconut oil

Fractionated Coconut Oil is a lightweight, clear, and highly stable emollient derived from coconut oil. Through a fractionation process, the long-chain fatty acids are removed, leaving primarily caprylic and capric triglycerides. This results in a non-greasy, odorless oil with excellent skin feel and oxidative stability.

Fractionated Coconut Oil is widely used in skincare, haircare, cosmetics, and personal care formulations due to its excellent spreadability, rapid absorption, and ability to enhance the delivery of active ingredients. Unlike regular coconut oil, it remains liquid at room temperature and is less likely to leave a heavy or greasy residue.

It is commonly incorporated into facial oils, serums, body oils, lotions, creams, hair products, massage oils, and cosmetic oil blends.
