Question

Could you please clarify the composition of the Fractionated Coconut Oil sold by MySkinRecipes? What are its key properties and benefits?

Answer

Composition of Fractionated Coconut Oil

The Fractionated Coconut Oil sold is primarily Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. As confirmed by our staff and the product specifications, it contains only Caprylic and Capric Fatty Acids, processed to obtain Medium-chain triglycerides.

This specific composition offers several advantages:

  • Stability: It has a long shelf life and is very stable, resistant to rancidity.
  • Lightweight: It is very light and absorbs easily into the skin.
  • Feel: It provides a soft and smooth feel without being greasy.
  • Versatility: It can be used directly on the skin or as a carrier oil for essential oils and fragrance oils. It is also suitable for various cosmetic formulations like massage oils, creams, soaps, and lipsticks.
  • Non-comedogenic: It is considered a triglyceride, not a typical oil, and does not clog pores.

We also offer a product specifically named Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (e.q. Myritol 318) which has the same chemical structure and similar properties, derived from Palm.
