To begin fractionated coconut oil is a fraction of coconut oil making it an absolutely saturated oil. This saturation gives it a very long shelf life. It also gives it more of antioxidant and disinfecting effect.
Fractionated coconut oil is new to me. I have used solid coconut oil before so I was excited to try new recipes with this. My first project was a lavender salt scrub I used 1/4 cup solid coconut oil, 1/4 cup fractionated coconut oil, 3/4 cup Epsom salt, and a few drops of lavender oil. This smelt amazing but it was to rough on my skin so next time I will try regular salt or sugar. Besides the salt the oils felt great on my skin and left is soft and smooth. You can make many things with fractionated coconut oil some are Eyelash thickener, whipped body butter, hair conditioner, hand soap. Below is a product description and the amazon link.
