Common Uses/Benefits

Fractionated coconut oil is very versatile due to its innate qualites. It is perfect for all over hydration of the skin.  Fractionated coconut oil is rich in caprylic fatty acids, super lightweight and ideal for a range of body care and hair care products.

Be it hair care, skin care, or  body care, coconut oil is generally one of the most commonly used carrier oils for essential oils. There are valid reasons people call this a super oil. It serves as one of the most effective carrier oils because it has a lower molecular weight when compared to other oils and thus, helping it to penetrate deeper into the skin after it is applied.

Rich with antifungal, antioxidants, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, fractionated coconut oil is also excellent for both rejuvenating the skin and hair. It is ideal for hair care due to its light weight and ability to improve shine in hair.

Its saturated fatty acids help moisturize the skin profoundly, giving an even and smoother skin tone. Its antimicrobial and antiseptic properties make it perfect as a carrier oil, especially for getting rid of skin conditions like dry scalp, eczema, cold sores, and acne.

Coconut Carrier Oil can be used to create variety of products such as massage oils, body balms, lip balms, lotions and cold process soaps. It is one of the most preferred oils in soap making because soap made with coconut oil tends to be hard, and retains more water than those made with other oils and therefore increases manufacturer yields. It is more soluble in hard water and salt water than other soaps allowing it to lather more easily. Coconut oil is also used in cosmetic manufacturing industries.

Fractionated coconut oil is favoured  for its stability,  long shelf life and its ability to remain liquid at room temperature.

Shelf Life: Users can expect a shelf life of up to 2 years with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended.

Storage: It is recommended that cold-pressed carrier oils be kept in a cool dark place to maintain freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before using.
