Coconut Carrier Oil (Fractionated)

What is Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil?

Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil comes from (Botanical name: Cocos nucifera), a tropical palm native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. Traders spread coconuts across Africa and coastal regions centuries ago. Today, suppliers mainly source it from the Philippines, Indonesia, and India.

Manufacturers refine coconut oil through fractionation. This process removes long-chain fatty acids. As a result, the oil stays liquid, lightweight, and odorless. It is most known for its stability, long shelf life, and excellent skin absorption.
