Fractionated Coconut Oil also known as MCT (medium chain fatty acids) oil or liquid Coconut oil, these are all different names for the same product.
Fractionated Coconut Oil is normal Virgin Coconut oil that has been put through a distillation process. This process allows the long-chain fatty acids to seperate & solidify. The solids are then removed and all that then remains is a light, odourless oil that stays liquid even at cooler temperatures.
While Virgin Coconut oil has a distinct coconut smell & taste, the liquid coconut oil is tasteless and has no smell.
This liquid coconut oil is better absorbed by the skin and less likely to clog up pores. It also has a longer shelf life than normal coconut oil
