Review (5/5): Excellent, True Fractionated Coconut Oil
What makes fractionated coconut oil different from the solid kind you can find in the grocery store is that it has gone through a fractional distillation process, by which some of the fatty acids have been removed, allowing it to stay liquid at room temperature. It's a wonderful massage oil, with good slip, and does not have a greasy feel to it. I love using it as a carrier for essential oil blends that I pre-dilute in a roller bottle for convenient application. It has a long shelf life, which makes it great for something that will be used long-term.
Above all, this is a vegetable oil, and it will behave as such. Other products labeled "fractionated coconut oil" are often a more processed, esterification of coconut oil, more accurately referred to as Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides. That has a silky, almost powdery feel to it. And it has its place, but would not be interchangeable with a vegetable oil like this product.
This particular product is clearly of very high quality. I have often purchased whatever was on sale in the past, believing most fractionated coconut oil to be interchangeable, but this Sky Organics brand stands out among the rest. It has a lovely feel to it, and the pump works very well. It has no discernible coconut smell, which I prefer when making roller bottles of essential oils, as I want the scent of the oils to come through. Would definitely buy again.
