Fractional Coconut Oil is a carrier oil that absorbs into the skin readily for the ideal topical delivery. This offers a light emollient effect that creates a soothing barrier that is ideal for dry skin without clogging the pores. It can leave the skin feeling non greasy, yet silky smooth. Fractionated Coconut Oil is soluble with all essential oils and will not stain, it is also odourless and colourless.
Why Use a Carrier Oil?
Carrier oils dilute essential oils and allow them to be carried on to your skin. While some essential oils are quite benign, many are quite potent, creating the potential for skin irritation, particularly if you have sensitive skin issues.
Most carrier oils are unscented, so they don’t interfere with the fragrance or therapeutic properties of the essential oils. You can also use a carrier oil alone to nourish your skin.
Fractionated Coconut Oil is one of the most popular carrier oils. It is not processed with chemicals and can allow you to enjoy using your favourite essential oils topically.
Uses of Fractionated Coconut Oil
Fractionated Coconut Oil has a number of uses. You can:
- Apply topically to hydrate your skin without interfering with your essential oil blend or perfume.
- Mix with oils and massage into the neck and shoulders to enhance relaxation.
- Dilute stronger oils before applying topically to lessen any skin sensitivity.
As a light carrier oil for a topical application of your essential oils, simply dilute to a ratio of one part essential oil to five parts Fractionated Coconut Oil. If your skin is particularly sensitive, you could dilute further using more of the carrier oil.
