Fractionated Coconut Oil for Facial Use

Fractionated Coconut Oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) is suitable for use on facial skin, even at 100% concentration, similar to other facial oils. Its key properties make it a good option for dry and sensitive skin:

• Non-Comedogenic: It is considered non-comedogenic, meaning it is unlikely to clog pores, which is a common concern with facial oils.
• Lightweight and Easily Absorbed: It has a light texture that absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving a soft, smooth, and non-greasy feel.
• Gentle and Non-Irritating: It is gentle enough for use on the skin, including around the eyes.
• Long Shelf Life: Unlike some natural oils, Fractionated Coconut Oil is highly stable, does not go rancid easily, and has a long shelf life, making it suitable for storage even in warmer conditions.

Application: You can apply Fractionated Coconut Oil directly to the skin. While it can be applied anytime, applying it after showering when the skin is slightly damp can help with absorption.

Mixing with Other Ingredients: Based on available information, there are no specific ingredients that are strictly prohibited from being mixed with Fractionated Coconut Oil. It is commonly used as a carrier oil for essential oils and fragrance oils.

For Very Dry Skin: While using Fractionated Coconut Oil alone can provide moisture, for very dry and flaky skin, you might consider incorporating additional moisturizing ingredients into a formulation, such as creating a cream or lotion base, to provide more comprehensive hydration, as suggested in the conversation history. However, using Fractionated Coconut Oil pure is also an option if preferred.
