Uses
Pure Fractionated Coconut Oil is an excellent choice as a massage oil or carrier oil for aromatherapy, as it facilitates absorption of essential oils and herbal extracts. Use it in soap making, homemade lotions and creams and hair care products. This is a great choice for use on sensitive skin and for children. It makes a handy all purpose skin, hair and nail oil – as an aftershave oil, after sun oil, light hair and scalp oil, as a base for mineral makeup or makeup removal. I keep FCO in my Essential Oils First Aid Kit for use as a carrier, for removing essential oils which have accidentally gotten in the wrong place, or as a quick mouth freshener using the oil pulling technique.
