Using Fractionated Coconut Oil as the Oil Phase in Lotion/Cream

Based on your observation and the staff's confirmation, you are correct that Fractionated Coconut Oil can be used to replace the traditional oil phase in your lotion or cream formulation. It is known for its very light, non-greasy feel, which makes it an excellent choice for those with combination skin or who prefer a lighter texture during the day.

Fractionated Coconut Oil is a type of triglyceride that feels soft and smooth on the skin without being greasy. It is easily absorbed and is considered non-comedogenic, meaning it is less likely to clog pores.

Your proposed formulation structure, using Fractionated Coconut Oil at 6% as the emollient, is a suitable approach for creating a light lotion. You can indeed use it as the primary or sole emollient instead of heavier natural oils.

As the staff mentioned, other LipidSoft variants like LipidSoft CC offer even lighter textures if you find Fractionated Coconut Oil still slightly heavy for your preference. The choice depends on the desired skin feel.

Therefore, you can confidently use Fractionated Coconut Oil in your formulation as a replacement for other oils to achieve a lighter, more comfortable feel while still providing moisturization.
