Coconut Carrier Oil

Fractionated Coconut is one of the most popular oils used in skin care products and cosmetics. It has a multitude of skincare properties as well as aiding the stability and preservation of the cosmetic product.

Fractionated Coconut can be used directly on the skin, where it has natural antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.

Coconut Oil is naturally a solid. However, fractionation turns the solid Coconut Oil into a useable liquid.

Fractionation separates the different types of fats that are naturally found in the oil.

Fractionated Coconut Oil is created by melting the oil beyond its melting point and then leaving it to cool. The solid fraction is removed, and the left liquid is fractionated Coconut Oil (Caprylic / Capric triglyceride).

Solid Coconut Oil, once fractionated, develops unique properties. The most significant, the ability to slightly emulsify and stabilise formulations.

This aids the stability of creams, lotions, hair treatments and makes the oil work well in bath oils as there is slight emulsification with water and essential oils.

Fractionated Coconut has some natural preservation, antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. These properties aid the skin's preservation and conditioning; however, it is not an alternative to a preservative.

Blended with other carrier oil, Coconut makes a lovely massage oil, rich on the skin.

Coconut is a beautiful oil to use as a bath oil with natural dispersant properties allowing you to combine essential oils and create luxurious bath oils without chemicals.

Like Jojoba, Coconut helps the skin naturally control its oil secretions. But, most importantly, the application of Coconut on the skin after washing with soap/shower gel allows the skin to quickly and naturally restore its pH level to 5.5 without blocking pores.

Using Coconut in skincare products or direct on the skin is a wonderfully natural way to beautiful skin.
