Frequently asked questions about Fractionated Coconut Oil

What is Fractionated Coconut oil?
Cocos nucifera with the long-chain fatty acids removed, leaving only the medium-chain triglycerides. The result stays liquid at room temperature instead of solidifying like regular coconut oil.
Why use it instead of regular coconut oil?
It stays liquid, is odourless, doesn't stain fabric, and has a much longer shelf life. Ideal as a carrier for essential oils and as a non-greasy massage base.
Does it still moisturise?
Yes — it retains all the lightweight moisturising properties of coconut oil while being far easier to work with and more skin-feel-friendly than the solid version.
