FCO Carrier Oil - (Fractionated Coconut Oil)

Heal and hydrate skin’s natural barriers with Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO). It’s perfect for personal use as a natural moisturizer and makeup remover, or use this coconut oil as a carrier oil to dilute pure essential oils and create your own perfumes and colognes, topical salves, massage oils, and more.

Like all coconut oils, FCO is made by pressing the nutrient-dense meat of the coconut fruit. Then, it undergoes a process called fractionation, which separates certain fatty acids from the oil. This gives FCO a thinner texture that’s lighter, nongreasy, and fast-absorbing. FCO also remains liquid at lower temperatures than standard coconut oil.

Fractionated Coconut Oil is clear, odorless, and shelf stable. It’s also antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and helps heal minor cuts and abrasions. Try using it to soothe cracked, dry skin or moisturize and balance the scalp in a deeply hydrating hair mask.

Most essential oils are so potent in their pure form that they need to be diluted prior to topical use. FCO is a perfect carrier oil for diluting pure essential oils in skincare, natural beauty, haircare, first-aid, and more. Benefits of dilution include: 

Increased Absorption: Many pure essential oils are so volatile that they begin to evaporate once exposed to the air, losing their potency and fragrance. If these oils are applied directly to the skin, they won’t absorb properly. By blending them with FCO carrier oil, you maximize the absorption time and prevent evaporation.

Prevent Skin Sensitivity and Irritation: Pure essential oils should never be applied directly to the skin in their undiluted form. They may cause sensitivity, irritation, or allergic reactions. Even if a tiny amount is applied to the skin, it may still cause damage over time. By diluting pure oils in a carrier oil, you can use them safely and limit the risk of sensitivity and irritation.

Increased Effectiveness: Diluting your essential oils in a carrier oil actually increases their effectiveness because the carrier oil allows them to be fully absorbed through the skin. Carrier oils also give you more applications from one bottle, which extends your supply of essential oils for topical use.
