Fractionated coconut oil is truly a versatile oil that is feather-light, absorbs readily into the skin without clogging pores, is excellent for dry, troubled skin, and is food grade. It is also an excellent carrier oil for essential oils, for handmade skin and hair products, aromatherapy and massage therapy. Unlike many other carrier oils, it is highly stable, odorless, deodorized,  non-staining, and colorless. Fractionated coconut oil is a fraction of the whole oil in which certain chains of fatty acids are separated, refined, clarified, and deodorized while maintaining the integrity of the emollient and moisturizing benefits of the oil.
