Description
Enjoy the purity that you can only obtain form THE ONE Essential Botanical Oils!
Coconut oil and fractionated coconut oil are both derived from the coconut, but they have distinct properties, uses, and benefits. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:
1. Extraction Process:
- Coconut Oil:
- Obtained by pressing the flesh of the coconut. It can be extracted using methods like cold pressing or heat extraction, resulting in either virgin or refined coconut oil.
- Fractionated Coconut Oil:
- Made by fractionating (or separating) the different fatty acids in coconut oil. The process typically involves heating coconut oil to separate the medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) from the long-chain fatty acids. This leaves a clear, liquid oil. Nevertheless, THE ONE Fractioned Coconut Oils is one of the few in the market that is not heated in any state during its production.
2. Composition:
- Coconut Oil:
- Contains a mixture of medium-chain and long-chain fatty acids, including lauric acid, which gives it its characteristic properties and aroma. It solidifies at cooler temperatures and has a rich coconut flavor and scent.
- Fractionated Coconut Oil:
- Primarily composed of medium-chain fatty acids (like caprylic and capric acid) and remains liquid at room temperature. It has little to no scent and is colorless, making it ideal for various applications where odor is a consideration.
3. Physical Properties:
- Coconut Oil:
- Solidifies when exposed to cooler temperatures (below approximately 76°F or 24°C) and can have a creamy texture.
- Fractionated Coconut Oil:
- Always remains in liquid form and has a lighter texture, making it easily absorbed by the skin.
Either as fractioned oil or regular texture, Coconut oil is a versatile and natural oil that offers numerous benefits for the skin, hair, and body. Here’s a breakdown of its key advantages:
For Skin:
- Moisturization: Coconut oil is an excellent natural moisturizer, providing hydration and preventing dryness. It is easily absorbed and leaves the skin feeling soft and supple.

- Healing Properties: Coconut oil has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can help heal minor cuts, wounds, and irritations, and may reduce the risk of infection.
- Sun Protection: While not a substitute for sunscreen, coconut oil offers a small amount of UV protection and can soothe sunburned skin.
- Acne Treatment: It can help reduce acne due to its antimicrobial properties, although it may clog pores for some individuals, so it should be used with caution on acne-prone skin.
- Makeup Remover: Coconut oil effectively dissolves makeup, making it an excellent natural makeup remover.
For Hair:
- Deep Conditioning: Coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft, providing deep conditioning and hydration. It helps repair damaged hair, making it softer and more manageable.
