Description
Fractionated Coconut Oil, also known as MCT oil, is made from certified organic, palm-free coconut oil from Sri Lanka. The medium-chain triglycerides are separated out through hydrolysis and steam distillation, leaving a clear, odourless oil that stays liquid at any temperature. It is light, silky and fast-absorbing, with a non-greasy finish.
It is a favourite with massage therapists because it glides well, doesn't stain and washes out of linens more easily than most oils. It is also one of the most popular carriers for diluting essential oils in roller bottles, and a little smoothed through hair adds lightweight shine without weighing it down.
- Light, silky and non-greasy
- Stays clear and liquid, never solidifies
- Odourless, so your essential oils shine through
- Very stable with a long shelf life
Pairs well with: Jojoba, sweet almond, avocado, lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus and frankincense
