Description: MCT 60/40 Fractionated Coconut Oil is a liquid oil derived from the kernels of mature coconuts (Cocos nucifera). It is produced to contain a specific ratio of medium-chain triglycerides, typically 60% caprylic (C8) and 40% capric (C10) acids, giving the oil its light, colourless appearance and neutral aroma. The oil is highly stable, fully refined, and remains liquid at room temperature, making it suitable for blending and formulation purposes.
The oil is clear, lightweight, and non-greasy, with a smooth texture and subtle coconut scent. Its consistent liquid form and low viscosity make it easy to handle and incorporate into various botanical, cosmetic, and formulation applications. MCT 60/40 Fractionated Coconut Oil does not crystallize and maintains a uniform appearance across storage conditions.
The oil is obtained by cold-pressing or solvent-extracting mature coconut kernels, followed by fractionation to isolate medium-chain triglycerides in the desired 60/40 ratio. It is then refined, filtered, and purified to remove residual solids, moisture, and impurities, resulting in a clean, high-quality liquid oil with consistent composition and characteristics.
Uses: MCT 60/40 Fractionated 100% Coconut Oil is used in cosmetic formulations, massage oils, herbal and botanical blends, carrier oil applications, craft projects, and educational herb collections. Its light, stable, and liquid form allows it to blend smoothly with essential oils, botanical extracts, and other oils, providing a convenient carrier for formulations, infused preparations, and creative projects where consistent oil texture and quality are required.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
