Coconut oil, fractionated

Coconut oil, fractionated Fractionated coconut oil gives the oil phase lightness and long stability. It is produced from coconut oil by separating shorter fatty acids, caprylic and capric , so it remains liquid even in the cold, has no scent of its own and absorbs quickly into the skin without a greasy film. In a formulation it works as an emollient and carrier : it forms the base of the oil phase, dilutes essential oils and dissolves oil-soluble active ingredients. Manufacturers choose it primarily for its oxidation resistance . The fatty acids in it have no double bonds, so it does not go rancid the way vegetable oils with a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids do. The finished product does not change its scent and the oil phase does not yellow. It is suitable wherever you need a neutral oil that does not mask the scent or colour of other ingredients. Key benefits Liquid even in the cold – unlike regular coconut oil it does not solidify, and behaves consistently in body oils and serums throughout the year. Fragrance- and colour-free – carries a fragrance composition or essential oils without any trace of its own. Long shelf life – saturated chains do not yellow or go rancid, and the oil phase remains stable even without additional antioxidants. Fast absorption – low viscosity gives the product a dry, light feel; skin does not feel sticky after application. Dissolves oil-soluble actives – vitamin E, oil extracts and bisabolol dissolve well in it, making it a base for oil serums. Compatible with oil-based ingredients – blends with vegetable oils, esters and waxes. Use
