Coconut oil contains skin-nourishing fatty acids and polyphenols, which make it a great carrier oil for massage oils and skin care preparations.

To use Fractionated Coconut Oil as a carrier oil, pour a small amount into a dish or your hand. Add your essential oil of choice, mix it, and apply it to the skin.

With most oils, use five parts Fractionated Coconut Oil to one part essential oil, but you can adjust as needed, diluting more heavily for children.

Uses: It’s thought to help soften skin, moisturize skin, and soothe irritation, so add this carrier oil to your massage oils or use it for general skin care.
