    GlossaryFractionated Coconut Oil (Medium-Chain Triglyceride Oil)

    is coconut oil with long-chain fatty acids removed

    Fractionated Coconut Oil, also known as MCT Oil (Medium-Chain Triglyceride Oil), is a form of coconut oil that has had the long-chain fatty acids removed, leaving primarily medium-chain fatty acids like caprylic and capric acid. This process makes the oil remain liquid at room temperature and enhances its stability and shelf life, making it popular in skincare, haircare, and dietary supplements for its lightweight texture and quick absorption.
