Product description
What is MCT Oil? What is an MCT?
Fractionated oils have been heated as part of their processing.
Fractionated means that short and long chain fatty acids are removed.
For this oil, C6, C8 and C10 triglycerides remain.
Hence, the name MCT (Medium Chain Triglyceride) Oil.
This process refines, clarifies, and deodorizes the oil.
Also known as:
Colorless, Tasteless, and Odorless.
Keto friendly.
Lightweight and non-greasy when applied to the skin making it ideal for lotions, creams, and cosmetics.
Readily absorbed by the skin causing it to be the first-choice transdermal carrier of medical practitioners as well as massage therapists.
MCTs do not require digestive enzymes or bile acids for digestion and absorption.
Remains liquid (even at room temperature) and is highly stable.
Whilst processed to remain liquid, this oil's ability as an emollient and moisturizer is the same.

Because it is chemically indifferent to other cosmetic ingredients, it acts as a viscosity regulator and assists in the dispersion of pigments and other additives.
It stays liquid, is clear, and is highly stable for use in creams and lotions, and many other cosmetic preparations for skin and hair.
Further, it penetrates the skin readily, thus acting as a carrier for transdermal therapeutic ingredients.
This ability to transport essential oils makes it an oil of choice among medical practitioners and massage therapists.
A percentage of coconut oil in cosmetics is moisturizing; too much of it can be drying. Its saturated nature resists rancidity and makes a very hard soap, while at the same time producing a fluffy lather.
Soap makers usually combine coconut oil with olive, palm, palm kernel, or castor oils for an all-vegetable soap. Some soapmakers use between 20% and 30% of a soap batch as coconut oil. Makes for a very hard bar of soap.
