The Benefits of Fractionated Coconut Oil for Hair
What is fractionated coconut oil and how is it extracted? Fractionated coconut oil is a type of oil that is extracted from coconut using a process known as fractionation. This process separates the different fatty acids that make up coconut oil, leaving behind only the medium-chain fatty acids. Regular coconut oil is made up of long-chain fatty acids, which have a higher melting point and solidify at room temperature. In contrast, fractionated coconut oil remains a liquid at room temperature and has a longer shelf life.
