Review (5/5): Great for Moisturizing After a Shower!
Fractionated coconut oil, as the name suggests, is Coconut oil with specific components removed. In the non-chemical fractionating process, the components of whole coconut oil that cause it to be solid at room temperature and be susceptible to oxidation are removed. The resulting substance is liquid at room temperature and very stable. Fractionated Coconut Oil provides a number of advantages over whole coconut oil, primarily increased shelf-life. Unlike whole coconut oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil can withstand light and high heat without going rancid. It is also lighter, non-greasy, and has a greater cleansing effect on the skin, making it popular as a carrier for essential oils and as a base for a variety of skin care products. While fractionated coconut oil has many uses, I bought it to use as a carrier oil with my essential oils and as an after shower moisturizer. This bottle comes with a convenient pump making it very accessible for use on my shower shelf. I am getting away from all the chemicals in soaps and lotions so this is perfect for me. It is odorless, colorless, no additives, chemical free, non-greasy and leaves my skin feeling siky soft. I chose this particular brand because it is made from the highest quality coconuts directly from artisanal farmers in Indonesia and is 100% pure and 100% natural.
