PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
MCT 60/40 Fractionated Coconut Oil is a premium, 100% coconut-derived carrier oil valued for its lightweight texture, excellent stability, and versatile cosmetic applications. Unlike traditional coconut oil, it remains liquid at room temperature and provides a smooth, non-greasy finish.
Ideal for skincare, haircare, massage oils, creams, and lotions, this versatile ingredient helps improve spreadability, soften skin, and support the dispersion of compatible pigments and oil-soluble additives. Its neutral aroma and excellent oxidative stability make it a reliable choice for professional cosmetic manufacturing and personal care formulations.
