Fractionated Coconut Oil
INCI Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Overview
A processed form of coconut oil that stays liquid at room temperature.
What it is
Fractionated Coconut Oil starts as regular coconut oil, then has certain components removed so what remains stays liquid rather than solidifying, unlike whole coconut oil. It’s lighter, clearer, and virtually scentless.
Where it comes from and how it’s made
Coconut palms grow widely across tropical regions worldwide. The oil is processed to separate out the components responsible for its solid form, leaving the liquid fraction used in a formulation.
What it does in a formulation
Brings a light, fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture to a finished product.
Why Lovebee uses it
We like fractionated coconut oil when we want coconut’s light touch without any of the solidifying quirks of the whole oil — it stays smooth and liquid, which makes it easy to build a consistent formula around.
Good to know
- Vegan and entirely plant-derived.
