    Product Overview

    Our organic Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO) is obtained via a separation process (fractionation) of Organic Virgin Coconut oil, wherein fatty acids and medium-chain triglycerides – caprylic and capric acid - are isolated. Commonly known as organic Coconut MCT, short for medium-chain triglycerides, it has an approximate composition of Caprylic Acid 60% and Capric Acid 40% (see COA link below). For those who prefer the holistic approach, please note that FCO is technically not a whole or complete oil. However, it is superb for massage and as a very stable carrier for essential oils and liquid, non-alcoholic perfumes.

    There are three basic types of fatty acids: short-chain, medium-chain, and long-chain. Long-chain fatty acids have more carbon atoms, which means they require higher temperatures to melt. FCO is cold pressed Coconut oil – extracted without the use of solvents or other chemicals – that has had the long-chain fatty acids removed via hydrolysis and steam distillation. This makes the oil liquid at room temperature and extends the product’s stability. Fats that are solid at room temperature, like coconut oil, have longer chain lengths. Once the long-chain fatty acids are removed, still present are the medium chain fatty acids like capric and caprylic, both of which retain their super-moisturizing capabilities, as well as several beneficial antioxidants and nourishing vitamins that help improve the appearance of the skin.

    FCO is completely liquid, colorless, odorless, non-greasy, and resists rancidity. It is light in texture, non-staining, and it enhances the skincare benefits of the other oils it is combined with. FCO is recommended for maintaining soft, moist skin and strong, healthy-looking hair.
