Coconut Oil Fractionated MCT

INCI   Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

This oil works as an emollient, dispersing agent and a solvent. As an emollient, it both quickly penetrates the surface to condition the skin and hair, while also providing a lightweight and non-greasy barrier of lubrication.

With good lubricating and softening properties, it adds body to massage oils and other skin care products. It is also a popular choice to use in the aromatherapy and massage industries, due to its oxidative stability. It has an oily texture which helps to thicken skincare products and provides a slippery feel, which in turn allows for the easy spreading of the product and a smooth after-touch.

With its moisturising qualities, it helps to improve the skins barrier function.

It is one of very few oils with the ability to penetrate the hair strand. Able to prevent the loss of proteins in all types of hair and helping to make the hair more resistant to mechanical damage, it is the ideal ingredient to be used in hair care products, especially conditioners.

Use up to 100% in lip and hair care products, anhydrous creams, balms, masks, scrubs, butters and emulsions. It has a melting point of 25c with very good heat and oxidation stability.

Coconut Oil is cold pressed from the dried coconut fruit pulp of palm trees. The solid fatty acids are removed from the coconut fat making it a thin, fluid oil.
