EmpressC Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Does anyone know if FCO is sold locally anywhere? Say, Walmart for example. I am running really low and need some more yesterday! Thanx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scentsme Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Don't know, but I saw that Snowdrift is having a sale on their FCO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressC Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Thanx, but even on sale it is more expensive than other places. I really need some ASAP and ordering online from anywhere will take more time than I have. But oh well, what's a girl to do? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 depending on your application you might sub with cyclo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJae Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Where are you located?? I think I have some I can send you, if you are only a state away, it would be to you within 24-48 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressC Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Thanx for the offer, DeJae. I'm in Wisconsin and was hoping to have it before this weekend to make products for a show I'm doing. No worries, I'll just go ahead and order some since I won't make my deadline now. Darn-it!CB, that would have been a good sub but my recipe uses both cyclo and fco. I thought of upping the cyclo in place of the FCO, but not really sure what that'd do and don't have the time to test it out. At this point, though, I've got nothing to lose!

EmpressC Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 FCO = Fractionated Coconut Oil. And the show is in Mukwonago. Are ya coming?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkainePSP Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Exactly what is fractionated coconut oil made of? Is it coconut oil mixed with another oil or diluted in water or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressC Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Here's some info on FCO (copied from the FNWL site):Fractionated coconut oil contains only the medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) of coconut oil, making it a fluid and very stable oil. It is produced through the hydrolysis of coconut oil and is then fractionated by steam distillation to isolate the MCTs. Fractionated coconut oil has indefinite shelf life and is a light, non-greasy, non-staining, liquid oil. It is a good choice for use in massage, skin care and soap formulations. Fractionated coconut oil is also a useful carrier oil within aromatherapy applications as it helps to carry therapeutic oils under the skin. It can be included in creams, lotions, bath oils, bath salts and soap. Fractionated coconut oil is especially useful in facial creams and formulations that benefit from the inclusion of a lighter oil. It is a good substitute for sweet almond oil if you are worried about rancidity or a short shelf life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
