Naissance Liquid Fractionated Coconut Oil (No. 218) - 450ml - MCT Oil for Skin, Hair, Lip Gloss, DIY Beauty Recipes, Aromatherapy, Massage, Cuticules

Coconut oil is lovely, but difficult to work with since it naturally solidifies when cold. This fractionated coconut oil lets you enjoy many of the benefits of coconut oil without the problem of solidification. This is a heavier oil, so bear that in mind if you have sensitive skin. While this would be good for combatting very dry skin, I wouldn't use it on my face as it would be more prone to plog pores. (If you're looking for a light facial moisturizer, try grapeseed oil.) If you're not worried about making babies or damaging latex condoms (which are oil based, and therefore can breakdown if combined with oil based lubes), coconut oil makes a fantastic lubricant, especially for older women who are thru the change and feeling extra dry. If you're a guy with irritated man parts, coconut oil can bring fantastic relief to your lower regions as well, especially with its antibacterial properties that help keep skin healthy. I keep a bottle of this around for medicinal uses and to use as a carrier oil in making essential oil mixes. It is also edible, and is great in cooking if you don't mind a hint of coconut flavor coming through in your end product. I personally don't like the flavor of coconut, but I still love this oil due to its many fabulous uses. So many skin products have a lot of extra ingredients thrown in, so when you're dealing with sensitive skin and family members who are very prone to allergic reactions, this product is great to have on hand. I bought a big bottle months ago and keep it stored in our fridge. The bottle is dark in colour to help protect the product from light, which is classy. I really like Naissance as a company and have bought a ton of their essential oils since moving to the UK. I really like that they add the scientific/Latin name on their labels when applicable to tell you exactly what you're getting. The term "eucalyptus oil", for example, can refer to several different types of eucalyptus plants, each with their own blend of medicinal properties. Specifics matter when you want the therapeutic properties of a specific kind of plant. A lot of companies just use the popular names, which I think is sloppy and misleading. Naissance comes across as a lot more professional and they go the extra mile by putting their stuff in coloured jars.

This is definitely one of the best oils to use for dry and damaged hair (and also for the skin). According to some websites, one of the most common reasons behind hair fall and hair loss is microbial action on the scalp and hair roots. So, to protect hair against it, what is needed is an antimicrobial agent - and lauric acid & capric acid present in coconut oil are exactly that. Bear in mind that in case of fractionated coconut oil (which really is a fraction of the whole oil, in which the different medium-chain fatty acids are separated for specific uses) lauric acid is often removed. I'm sure if you want to know more, you can find a lot of information about above on the internet.Anyway, just using it one time on your hair makes quite a difference (probably pure coconut oil would be better, but this one is good enough). You can use a little bit just after you washed your hair, just before washing them (in that case, make sure the oil has enough time to penetrate them, then wash them as usual), or simply add a little bit of oil to your hair conditioner (probably the best practical option). If you put it too much, your hair will be a bit oily even after washing (but not as oily as in case of apricot oil - which I've also tested). In this case, just wash them quickly one more time. Just try some other variations if necessary, and see what is best for you.Some of the various fatty acids present in coconut oil are apparently good anti dandruff agents - which I've also confirmed by the daily usage of that oil. In this case, when you are at home, put a large amount of oil on your hair and scalp for an 30-60 minutes (bear in mind that is an extreme case -> to be honest even 10 minutes would be probably enough) - then wash them as usual. Obviously use some common sense here, don't just use half a bottle in one go - use something like 1 (maybe 2) tablespoons at most. I'm not saying that it will help in 100% cases (probably not), but something like this helped me (with a slight combination of pure virgin coconut oil, which I've also started to massage into my scalp and hair just before washing them). It took a while - probably about 3 weeks - but I'm dandruff free now. Just try small bottle first, maybe 250ml - and see how it goes. You may be surprised by the results.

As a guy with dry skin and hair, finding the right products can be a real challenge, but this liquid fractionated coconut oil has completely transformed my routine. Unlike virgin coconut oil, which is heavier and can leave a greasy residue, this fractionated version is lightweight and absorbs quickly, providing deep hydration without weighing me down. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the texture of my skin—it's much softer and less flaky. I use it daily after showering, and it leaves my skin feeling refreshed and nourished. Additionally, I've started applying it to my hair, and the difference is remarkable; it tames frizz and adds a healthy shine without feeling oily. The versatility of this oil makes it a must-have in my grooming arsenal. If you're looking for a solution to dry skin and hair, I highly recommend giving this a try!
