doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil

What it does

Fractionated Coconut Oil is a light carrier oil from the coconut. Unlike ordinary coconut oil it stays liquid at all times, is colourless and odourless, and doesn't stain. That's why it blends with any essential oil without changing the scent.

You use it to dilute your essential oils, so you can apply them safely and evenly on your skin. It's also a pleasant, light emollient in its own right: as an after-shower moisturiser or to remove make-up.

Why dilute

Pure essential oils are concentrated. With a carrier oil you dilute them, spread them over a larger area of skin and reduce the chance of skin sensitivity. A solid rule of thumb: around 1 part oil to 5 parts Fractionated Coconut Oil.

Wereldkaart met de herkomst van de doTERRA-oliΓ«n
Frankincense 🌍 Somalia Β· Oman Β· Ethiopia doTERRA's frankincense is a blend of several Boswellia species from Somalia, Oman and Ethiopia. Harvesters make careful cuts in the bark; the resin crystallises over a few days into beads, the tree's 'tears'. Every supply chain is audited against the FairWild standard. View Frankincense → Wild Orange 🌍 Brazil Sourced from hundreds of small farmers in southern Brazil, where the climate is ideal for citrus. The oil is cold-pressed from the peel; it takes around 154 oranges for one 15 ml bottle. View Wild Orange → Ylang Ylang 🌍 Madagascar Β· Nosy Be From growers on the island of Nosy Be, off Madagascar's north-west coast. The star-shaped flowers are hand-picked and distilled within 24 hours, so the rich, sweet aroma is preserved. View Ylang Ylang → Cedarwood 🌍 United States From the south-eastern USA, from Juniperus virginiana. A lovely detail: doTERRA distils the oil from sawdust and offcuts left over from timber processing, giving waste a second life. View Cedarwood → Magnolia Touch 🌍 Southern China The magnolia oil comes from southern China, from the white champaca. The delicate blossoms are hand-picked early morning or late evening and steam-distilled. View Magnolia Touch → Shinrin-Yoku 🌍 Japan (Hinoki) A blend with no single origin: oils from around the world come together. Its heart is Japanese, with the signature note Hinoki, the cypress of Japanese temples, inspired by shinrin-yoku, forest bathing. View Shinrin-Yoku → Peppermint 🌍 USA Β· India Sourced in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, from a family farm spanning generations, and in northern India (Uttar Pradesh). The steady, wet climate gives a high menthol content. View Peppermint → PastTense 🌍 Nepal A blend of several oils. Its most remarkable sourcing story sits in the wintergreen: wild-harvested in the mountains of rural Nepal, naturally rich in methyl salicylate. View PastTense → Deep Blue Stick 🌍 Nepal Built on the Deep Blue blend. Its main component, wintergreen, is wild-harvested in rural Nepal, where women climb the steep mountain slopes and communities manage their forest areas together. View Deep Blue Stick → Fractionated Coconut Oil 🌍 Philippines The carrier oil comes from the Philippines, from the coconut. Fractionation leaves only the light, liquid part: colourless, odourless and miscible with any essential oil. View Fractionated Coconut Oil →
