What is the lightest and fastest absorbing natural oil?

Answer

Lightweight and Fast-Absorbing Natural Oils

Regarding your question about the lightest and fastest absorbing natural oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil is indeed an excellent choice, as the staff member correctly pointed out.

Fractionated Coconut Oil (INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) is produced by processing coconut oil to isolate the medium-chain triglycerides. This results in a liquid oil that is very stable, odorless, colorless, and has a remarkably light texture. It is easily absorbed by the skin, leaving a smooth, silky feel without being greasy. It's widely used as a carrier oil for essential oils and in various cosmetic formulations like massage oils, creams, and lotions because of its non-greasy feel and good spreadability.

Another option that provides a very light and fast-absorbing feel, often used as an alternative to silicones, is CocoSilk™ (INCI: Coco-Caprylate/Caprate). While technically an ester rather than a traditional triglyceride oil, it is derived from coconut and offers a dry, non-oily touch that absorbs quickly into the skin.

Both Fractionated Coconut Oil and CocoSilk™ are great options if you are looking for a natural-derived ingredient that provides a lightweight, non-greasy feel and absorbs quickly.
