You’ve probably heard of coconut oil, but have you heard of coconut MCT oil? If you haven’t: you’re in for a treat.
This oil has a wide range of uses and benefits. It's in some of your favorite foods, beauty products, and supplements (you probably just didn't know it!)
What's great about MCT coconut oil is how it can enhance your beauty routine.
Let’s take a look at what makes this oil so special, and some of the beauty care benefits:
What is coconut MCT oil?
MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. To put it simply, it's saturated fat and it’s an oil that comes from coconut oil. The difference between coconut oil and MCT oil is the types of fatty chain acids.
Coconut oil contains long-chain fatty acids and medium fatty chain acids. While MCT oil only contains medium-chain fatty acids.
Although MCT oil comes from coconut oil, whole coconut oil only has around 15% of MCT oil. At first glance, you may think it’s just coconut oil. It looks very similar. However, it has a thinner consistency.
Many people enjoy adding MCT oil into their foods to experience the benefits. However, you can also get it in other forms, such as beauty products and supplements.
The truth is: that you can’t go wrong with either of these ingredients. Both types of oil can provide you with several benefits and can be a great addition to your beauty or health routine.
The beauty care benefits

MCT oil contains lauric acid. This is why it's a common ingredient used to help treat certain skin diseases and conditions.
