Fractionated Coconut Oil has earned its seat at the table as a well-known staple in topical essential oil applications. Unlike virgin coconut oil, it remains liquid even at very low temperatures, allowing it to beautifully facilitate the absorption of essential oils into the body.
Though deeply hydrating and readily absorbed, Fractionated Coconut Oil does not leave the skin feeling greasy, nor does it clog the pores.
Also known as MCT oil and is safe for dietary use.

Although the quality of Selah Oils is excellent, it is not advised to take essential oils internally unless under the guidance of a certified physician who is also certified in aromatherapy. We recommend getting internal dosing instructions from a licensed physician as some essential oils are not recommended for oral consumption. This is in no way a reflection on our oil quality, only a matter of safety and caution with respect to how concentrated essential oils are. When used within safe parameters, and under your physician's care, the quality of our essential oils is such that they can be used internally if deemed appropriate.
All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion.
