Fractionated Coconut (MCT) Oil is a refined version of coconut oil, where specific medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are isolated and concentrated. These MCTs, primarily caprylic and capric acids, are smaller molecules compared to long-chain triglycerides found in unrefined coconut oil. This fractionation process results in a lighter, more stable oil that remains liquid at room temperature, making it highly suitable for a wide array of cosmetic applications. Its molecular structure allows for excellent spreadability and a non-greasy skin feel, which is a significant advantage in leave-on formulations.
