I have been using this brand of fractionated coconut oil as my carrier oil for my roller bottle blends of essential oils. It is a wonderful carrier oil! It isnt too greasy to just roll on and let sink in, which i love. I wouldnt use it as a facial regime type carrier oil for any essential oil blends, but it is excellent for standard roller blends.
This bottle of coconut oil is quite large in size. You get almost half a litre of oil (473ml).
The oil is very liquidy, so the pump comes in very handy for dispensing the amount desired. The oil is mostly clear and has a very slight yellow tinge to it. Although the bottle states it is fragrance free, I find that the oil has a very faint sweet smell, which is pleasant to me. Other features listed on the bottle are:
*ingredients are 100% pure fractionated coconut oil
*non-greasy
*non-staining
*non-comedogenic (i.e. will not block or clog your pores)
*preservative, chemical free
*100% vegan
This oil can be used in beauty recipes such as soaps, lotions, lip balms, and ointments. It can also be used for hair care – it is beneficial for treating dry and damaged hair. This coconut oil can also serve as the base ingredient for essential oils for aromatherapy use. Of course, it’s skin care purposes are apparent – you can simply apply this as a body moisturizer or add it to your bath. Lastly, it works well as a basic massage oil.
As far as its use as a body product, I find the oil has a good consistency for massages. It spreads well and takes a bit of time to absorb into the skin. It leaves my skin very soft and conditioned. Although it is not greasy like some other heavy moisturizers that I have used in the past, I do find that it leaves behind a bit of a residue. If I handle my smart phone right after using this, it will leave smudges and residue on my phone.
Overall, this is a very good quality product. This bottle will last quite a while, has multiple uses, and is a fantastic body moisturizer.
I received this product at a discounted price in return for my honest review.
This liquid coconut oil is great and works perfectly for using in cosmetics, bath products and homemade perfumes. I used it specifically as a carrier oil for oil based perfumes. I had previously been using olive oil, but found this did a much better job and is less greasy.
The fact that it's fragrance free makes it perfect for anything involving scent as you might not want an extra scent in there to confuse things.
It comes sealed up properly, but with a pump action nozzle that honestly, is so incredibly helpful in dispensing the coconut oil. It's a nice, big size too. Definitely will buy in the future!

I received this at a discount to try and I had never tried coconut oil before I received this, when I forts got it I was really surprised that there was no scent but I decided to add some of this to my bath water because I had been having problems with dry skin and cracked elbows. It worked so well and I've continued to use it almost every single time I get on the bath. This can also be used in so many other ways, this is a really versatile product.
I love coconut oil and have never used it in its liquid form before (well, unless I have melted it in a pot or pan for cooking).
This oil comes in a large bottle with a pump – ready for easy use. The pump itself took a minute or two to actually start pumping, but once it started working, I had no issues.
It is a thin oil, so be careful while pumping it out – you have been warned!
It has no scent, which makes it perfect for making my bath bombs and cooking with.
I have also used it as a face cleaner, and it works MUCH better at removing my eye makeup (mascara and eyeshadow) than Micellar water, and is gentler on my eyes than lotion eye make up remover.
I tried using it on my dry legs as a moisturizer, and only used a little bit, but it was quite oily, and I did not like the oily texture. It is weird how the feeling on my skin varies depending on how the oil is introduced to it – in bath bomb form, I love the feeling of coconut oil on my skin, however, in plain form, I feel like it is too oily.
This bottle should last me quite a while, and it was much larger than anticipated!
Overall, I love the diversity of fractionated coconut oil – whether it be in the kitchen or bathroom, I feel it is a must have for any household.
