Neutral Oil (MCT Oil) POF – Palm Oil-Free Base Oil for Lightweight, High-Quality Natural Cosmetics
Our Neutral Oil (MCT Oil) POF is a high-quality, palm oil-free base oil made from coconut oil that is distinguished by its excellent cosmetic properties. It is produced by esterifying glycerin with the medium-chain fatty acids caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10).
The result is a colorless, low-viscosity oil with exceptional oxidative stability, making it ideal for high-end DIY cosmetics and professional formulations.
Thanks to its exceptionally good spreadability, Neutral Oil gives creams, lotions, serums, and massage oils a pleasantly light feel on the skin. Rich formulations feel less greasy, absorb more quickly, and leave a silky finish on the skin.
