So, what is fractionated coconut oil and what is it good for? Regular coconut oil is a bit of a shape-shifter. It is extracted from coconuts. Virgin coconut oil is a solid, gel-like consistency in average temperatures, but at high temperatures it melts. It smells and tastes like coconut. Fractionated coconut oil breaks up the different components of regular coconut oil and separates out individual fatty acids/triglycerides. This particular fractionated coconut oil is compose of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. The wonderful thing about fractionated oils such as the LaLune Naturals Fractionated Coconut Oil is that it has no scent or taste. It provides the benefits of coconut oil to the health and beauty industry. This oil is good on it's own, for massage or hydration of the skin, increased manageability when used in hair, as a carrier for essential oils, as an added component to shampoos, conditioners, or lotions and creams. Many essential oils cannot be put directly on the skin, however, mixed with fractionated coconut oil, which functions as a carrier and diluter of the essential oil, the benefits of the essential oil can be safely realized.

I began by using the oil directly on my skin and hair. I loved how easily it spread and how quickly it absorbed, without being greasy or oily. It immediately hydrated and soothed my skin. It does not clog pores and gives a very dewy look to the skin. On my hair it brightened the hair, reduced the frizz and increased the shine. I also used a small amount in my shampoo and conditioner to really allow the hair to absorb and benefit from the coconut oil. This oil is so clear and refined, it is easy to use in so many products. I have many essential oils and some can cause redness, rash or sensitivity if used on their own. I made a gentle lavender oil to smooth on my arms. I had a small bottle and poured the fractionated coconut oil in, then added 6 drops of the lavender essential oil. It smells great and helps my skin recover and feel hydrated. I added some of the coconut oil to my skin cream, along with a few more drops of sandalwood essential oil. I even made some glycerin soap and added a capful of coconut oil to increase the richness and benefits from the oil while washing. I also prepared some potpourri with plants from my garden, stirring in some coconut oil, then adding essential oil to use for aromatherapy. The coconut oil helps to spread the essential oils among the potpourri, so I need less of the expensive essential oil. I can even just use the oil, with a few drops of essential oil as my perfume, rather than spending so much on commercial perfumes.
