Description
Our Organic, Palm-Free Fractionated Coconut Oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) is a premium-quality carrier oil derived exclusively from certified organic coconut oil—not palm—making it a true fractionated coconut oil. Lightweight, silky, and fast-absorbing, this oil is a favourite among massage therapists and cosmetic formulators alike for its versatility and skin-friendly properties.
Produced through hydrolysis and steam distillation to isolate the medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), this oil offers excellent stability and resistance to oxidation, giving it a naturally extended shelf life. It is non-greasy, non-staining, and washes easily from linens—making cleanup simpler in professional massage settings.
Fractionated Coconut Oil is an exceptional emollient and skin conditioner. It penetrates quickly, forming a lightweight barrier that helps retain moisture and leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated. Its fluid consistency also makes it ideal for blending with essential oils and active ingredients in both massage and cosmetic applications.

About this oil
Fractionated Coconut Oil (also known as MCT Oil) is produced by isolating the medium-chain triglycerides from certified organic coconut oil through hydrolysis and steam distillation, leaving a light, completely liquid oil that never solidifies. Fully saturated and free of the longer-chain fats that cause whole coconut oil to turn solid below room temperature, it stays clear and fluid at any temperature, making it easy to dispense and blend.
Its light, fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture makes it a favourite among massage therapists and cosmetic formulators alike. It washes out of linens more easily than most carrier oils, doesn't stain, and is an excellent, near-universal carrier for essential oils and other active ingredients in massage and cosmetic blends.
Apply directly to skin or hair as a light moisturiser, or use as a carrier for diluting essential oils. For formulations, blend into creams, lotions, serums or massage oils to lighten their texture. Test small batches to perfect your recipe.
