Heat Stability of Fractionated Coconut Oil
คำถาม
I am making a yellow oil balm that requires heating above 150°C. I noticed a discrepancy regarding Fractionated Coconut Oil: the product page states a maximum heating temperature of 60°C, but in the information for using it as a solvent for Cholesterol, it requires heating over 150°C.
My question is:
- Can Fractionated Coconut Oil tolerate heating above 150°C for this application?
- Will it experience significant degradation at this temperature?

Subject: Heat Stability of Fractionated Coconut Oil
Regarding your question about using Fractionated Coconut Oil for making a yellow oil balm involving heating above 150°C, you noted a discrepancy between the product page (max 60°C) and its use as a solvent for Cholesterol (over 150°C).
As the staff reply explained, while high heat can gradually degrade the quality of Fractionated Coconut Oil, this damage is not instantaneous and is often considered acceptable in many cosmetic production processes where heat is necessary.
The key is to minimize the extent of this degradation. Therefore, it is recommended to:
- Use the lowest possible temperature that is sufficient to dissolve your ingredients.
- Keep the heating process as short as possible.
Following these guidelines will help preserve the properties of the Fractionated Coconut Oil as much as possible during your balm-making process.
