Our Fractionated Coconut Oil is the perfect economical choice for functional foods as well as used externally in massage oils, beauty products and personal care applications.
Fractionated Coconut Oil is a superior oil for functional foods and Keto Diet products:
- Acts as a “winterized” coconut oil that stays liquid at room temperature
- Shares the health benefits of coconut oil with a higher percentage of Caprylic and Capric acids for faster energy, metabolism and ketone production
- Has no aroma or taste so may be used in multiple liquid applications
Used externally it makes a superior oil for beauty purposes:
- It is a light, non greasy, penetrating oil and is non staining
- Superior stability and resists oxidation unlike all other vegetable oils that become quickly rancid
- Remains liquid at room temperature and does not solidify like normal coconut oil (it hardens only at around 8-9 degrees C.)
- Absolutely no aroma and serves as a perfect carrier for essential oils and aromatics
Fractionated Coconut Oil is a clear, odurless, light textured, non staining, stable and rapidly absorbing oil that consists primarily of Caprylic and Capric acids, two important medium-chain triglycerides (MCT’s) found in coconut oil and that are liquid at room temperature. Fractionated Coconut Oil is produced through the distillation and fractionation of coconut oil. Approximately 11% of Lauric acid remains along with unsaturated fatty acids, including linoleic acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid and oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid remain after the distillation process. Fractionated Coconut Oil is not to be confused with 100% pure MCT Oil which is made from 100% complete fractionation and isolation of Caprylic and / or Capric acids (C8 and / or C10).
Fractionated Coconut Oil is highly versatile oil for use in:
- Massage oils as a base carrier oil
- Skin care formulations & scrubs for its natural emollient properties
- Hair care products
