Umuthi Fractionated Coconut Oil is a light, thin carrier oil made primarily of capric and caprylic fatty acids. It is used in DIY skincare, haircare, massage oils, body oils, and essential oil blends where a stable, easy-to-use carrier oil is preferred. Fractionated coconut oil is lighter and more fluid than virgin coconut oil, and it does not behave like solid coconut oil in formulations. It is especially useful when a blend needs a neutral-feeling carrier oil with good slip and easy absorption.

♡ Why we love it: This is a very practical carrier oil for everyday making. It is light, stable, easy to blend, and especially useful when you want the benefits of a coconut-derived oil without the heaviness or solidity of virgin coconut oil.
