Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil & Massage Oil Review

I am very happy with this oil.
First of all, I need to say that I bought this oil for external body use only. It soaks in quickly, but if you are using it for massage purposes, you can use a little bit more and you don't have to keep adding and adding to keep the consistency needed for a smooth muscle rubdown. There is no scent - If there was a scent it would mean the oil most likely went bad.

Because of the purity of this oil, I find it ideal for use as a base oil combined with any other essential oils. I have used peppermint , vanilla and lavender scents in mixing up three different types of massage oil , a different type for different mood effects.

The price is great for how much you get,though I got one bottle in exchange for a review I ended up buying a second bottle for the other uses. I like that it is in a plastic bottle.The way it is bottled makes it easy to use though if your adding your own scents whether it be for massage or hair soak as I did make some bath oil using some , getting travel sized bottles to mix smaller batches up in works great.

What is Fractionated Coconut Oil?

As implied, it is a fraction of the coconut oil from which almost all the long chain triglycerides are removed, thus leaving mainly the medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) and making it an absolutely saturated oil. This saturation gives it a very long shelf life and greatly increased stability.

In addition, fractionating raises the concentration of Capric acid and Caprylic acid, for antioxidant and disinfecting effects.
