Description

Coconut carrier oil, derived from Cocus nucifera, is a versatile oil widely used for its beneficial properties. Fractionated coconut oil, created by removing most of the long-chain triglycerides, retains the valuable medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), making it an ideal MCT oil. It remains liquid at room temperature, is odorless, and has a clear to slightly yellow tint. This oil is non-greasy, does not stain, and is easy to remove from clothing and bed linens. Coconut carrier oil is rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A, B, and E, as well as minerals like phosphorus, calcium, iron, manganese, and magnesium. Its lightweight and nourishing qualities make it perfect for skincare, haircare, and as a base for essential oil blends, offering hydration and a range of therapeutic benefits.
