How is this oil different than the cold-pressed coconut oil I use for cooking, salads, etc.? I use the food grade on my face. Is this oil better?

It stays in liquid from, unlike regular coconut oil. Fractionated coconut oil is a carrier that never goes rancid. It basically has an indefinite shelf life and is in a perfectly clear liquid form. Other advantages of fractionated coconut oil are: It is odorless and colorless. It won't stain and easily washes out of clothing and sheets. It absorbs into the skin while reducing essential oil evaporation. It is excellent on skin; a natural and very safe moisturizer, softener and safe, non-irritant lubricator. It leaves skins smooth with no greasy feeling. Low production costs make it cost effective. It can be mixed with other, more expensive, carriers to increase shelf life. It can also be used it to create different cream textures. It does not aggravate skin problems or clog pores. It is fully digestible and considered an excellent and healthy cooking oil. It is truly one of the best multi-purpose carrier oil products on the market

this is more for a carrier oil for massage (you can add essential oils to it)wouldn't recommend it for eating (you can Google it...not 100% sure). It has no smell to it (and probably no taste) but if you want a no taste coconut oil, I'll recommended Wilderness Family Natural.com, they have a non flavored coconut oil that I use for my frying and baking. Buying a gallon a year :) Hope it helps

I don't know. This is a coconut oil that is made into a thin consistency. It is used for mixing with my essential oils to dilute them. It works great because the thin consistency matches that of the oils so it comes out of the bottles easily and mixes well. Non greasy too. And oderless. Nice for moisturizer too.

No it's any better than the cold-presssed coconut oil but it's get for weight loss and I mainly use it as a moisturizer.

The label says "cold pressed to preserve the natural nutritional content" so I believe it is not "refined" in the typical sense. It is a clear oil with a mild nutty taste. I keep it in the refrigerator at all times and it does not thicken. I use it for cooking, salad dressings, etc. Another excellent oil is avocado oil.

This coconut oil is as tasty and nutritious as any product I have ever used. I have used coconut oil for decades. I have paid the highest price for "the best" product. Meantime I have learned that the coconut is a super-food and is virtually indestructible as far as nutritional qualities, and I have proved this for my own purposes. Do not contaminate the oil by introducing something on a utensil that is not clean. I mixed butter and coconut oil [for my own convenience] only to find that it molded in the refrigerator. So, it is extremely important to keep the oil clean from any contamination. It will serve you well. Good health to you! This coconut oil is as tasty and nutritious as any product I have ever used.

You may want to Goggle it and read up on the term "EXTRA VIRGIN" when it comes to Coconut Oil. "extra" should not be used and "virgin" probably should be dropped from use as well. I believe that the words Organic, cold pressed, and unrefined/refined is what we should look for in Coconut oil.

This is oil pressed from the carrot flesh, not the seed... and although I can't be certain, I believe it is undiluted since when I look at other oils from this company, for example, the rose oil... it says that it is infused in almond oil. I imagine the carrot oil would state something similar if it were anything other than the pure cold pressed oil from the carrot.

You have Hit upon, one of the Best Companies out there. They are not only NON-GMO-verified, but also 1% of All Sales go to Sustainable Agriculture. This Oil is Organic, Unrefined, Cold Pressed, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. No refrigeration is needed. Also, It's not Processed with Hexane like a lot of Coconut Oils are, and also Pesticide Free.I think that about does it. Enjoy your Coconut Oil, you won't find a Better One.

Hello. I think this is good, it is not has a lot of oil, but if your skin is delicate, please do not use it. I bought one to my sister, she is very delicate. For her was not good but I use and for me is nice. My skin does not have any problem.

The difference between cold pressed virgin unrefined coconut oil and fractionated coconut oil is that the fractionated coconut oil is not the whole oil. "Fractions" are removed so that it remains a liquid. If your Esthetician recommended coconut oil for it's many health and skin benefits, I would recommend using the solid oil. I keep a small glass jar (very small empty pimentos jar) filled with the solid oil. When I wish to use it, I run it under hot water and it melts almost immediately since it has a 76 degree Fahrenheit melting point.

This is not cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. If placed in the fridge, the authentic cold pressed, EVOO will solidify. This stuff remains in its liquid form. It has probably been mixed with unhealthy oils and flavorings. You're not getting what you think you're getting if you buy this stuff.

Sorry I don't know. I was not impressed with the product so I don't use it. I think u would be better off with coconut oil.

NO, if you want something incredible for your face and body use pure raw organic coconut oil. Test a small area first {always test before using something new}. I love it and so does my skin. The honey is the best on the market and I love it also..........on toast especially.

Yes, this oil is a great one to cook with. It gives you all the benefits of olive but unlike olive which breaks down when exposed to high heat, grape seed can be used at high temperatures. Cold pressed is relatively rare to find as it is harder to expel the oil from the seed without heat and as a result is easier on sensitive skin. Here is a link to a more detailed explanation about this oil:http://www.grapeseedoil.com/doclib/default/Grapeseed_Oil.pdf

This is way better than canola and sunflower oil...a healthy fat with a higher smoke point. I know there is a site out there that lists the smoke point for different oils...coconut is good to higher temps than these oils you mention, and it gives a great flavor (not coconutty-but satisfying)

Hi, no, it's not, it's a very different type of oil, you can even drink it, have a light sweet tast, it's the best for cooking, or frying even baking and salad, you will love the good healty benifits, enjoy.

It does not have a taste, and can be used for oil pulling but organic cold pressed coconut oil works best. You just have to warm it slightly to get it out of solid form.

Sorry I do not have the answer to this question... all I know about this oil is that it is very harsh in nature... OK for cooking, absolutely not OK for salads or any other uncooked edible use. Used raw, this oil burns my throat.
