PROMISE
Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO) is a versatile, lightweight carrier oil perfect for skincare and aromatherapy. This clear, odorless liquid absorbs quickly into the skin, providing deep moisturization without leaving a greasy residue. FCO is an excellent choice for diluting essential oils, creating custom blends, or using on its own as a natural moisturizer.
Derived from coconuts, FCO undergoes a process that removes long-chain fatty acids, resulting in a stable oil that remains liquid at room temperature. This makes it ideal for various applications, from massage to hair care. Fractionated Coconut Oil is suitable for all skin types and may help support skin health and vitality.
- Add 1-2 drops to daily moisturizer or cleanser.
- Use as a makeup remover or gentle cleanser.
- Dilute essential oils for topical application.
- Massage into dry skin areas.
- Use in hair masks to support scalp health.

When applying essential oils to the face, it's recommended to use a lower dilution ratio due to the sensitivity of facial skin. If you have sensitive skin or are using essential oils that are known to be potent or potentially irritating, you may want to start with an even more diluted ratio. When using essential oils on children, the elderly, or individuals with sensitive skin, it's advisable to use an even more diluted ratio to ensure safety.
With essential oils, a little goes a long way. Using pure, undiluted essential oils does not mean you'll achieve better, faster results or more benefits. When using Sunflower carrier oil as a base for essential oils, the recommended dilution ratio typically depends on the purpose of use and the specific essential oils you're using.
As part of our S.A.A.F.E. Promise™, we provide FAMES (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) test results from a verified third party, independent lab for each one of our essential oil products.
FAMES tests verify the purity and quality of the oils we sell, so you can trust that you're using the very best Fractionated Coconut Oil and other essential oil products on the market today.
