Fractionated Coconut Oil for Scrubs, Massage, and More

Source: Amazon

I am really loving homemade body scrubs, and DIY beauty products and remedies made with ingredients I can combine so I know exactly what's in what I'm using on my body. When I was offered the chance to review a bottle of Invivo Essential Top Rated Fractionated Coconut Oil I jumped on it! This is a great carrier oil to add to my slowly growing collection. I have peppermint and lemon essential oils so far, and now almond oil as well as this coconut oil. It's pretty amazing all the things you can make with just a few essential oils, a carrier oil and then some vinegar, some salt, some sugar, etc. Mix, match, and you have everything from aromatherapy massage oil to household cleaning products, to teeth whitener, and congestion remedies! 

Fractionated Coconut Oil has many, many, many uses - here are a few I've found:

• Fractionated Coconut Oil on Aroma Haven and Rustic Escentuals: "Fractionated Coconut Oil is a light, penetrating oil. It is more heat stable than traditional Coconut oil because it contains only the medium-chain triglycerides, making it a liquid at a relatively low temperature. Fractionated Coconut Oil is a very stable oil, light, non-greasy, virtually colorless, and non-staining. It is perfect for use in massage oils, bath oils, bath salts, soap, lotions and creams, cosmetics, and lip balm. Fractionated coconut oil can easily substitute Sweet Almond Oil in formulations and recipes. Fractionated Coconut Oil is a superior emollient that is beneficial for all skin types and can moisturize with no oily sheen."

I could keep going - but you probably get the idea! :) FCO has many, many uses (and an indefinitely shelf life) that make it a great tool to keep in your cabinet for making beauty and body care items, and for combining with essential oils for a massage, and more!
