BioRaw™️ Grape Seed Base Oil

MCT Base Oil – Summary

Source

• MCT stands for Medium-Chain Triglycerides

• Derived mainly from:

  • Coconut oil (most common)

  • Palm kernel oil (less preferred due to environmental concerns)

• Typically composed of:

  • Caprylic acid (C8)

  • Capric acid (C10)

  • Sometimes Lauric acid (C12)

Origin

• Raw materials sourced from tropical regions:

  • Philippines, Indonesia, India, and other Southeast Asian countries

• Oil is fractionated to isolate medium-chain fatty acids — resulting in a clear, odorless, non-greasy liquid

Key Benefits

1. Excellent Base Oil

   • Non-greasy, lightweight, and absorbs quickly; ideal for diluting essential oils

2. Skin-Friendly

   • Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), soothing to dry or sensitive skin

3. Long Shelf Life

   • Highly stable and resistant to oxidation

4. Internal Health (Food-grade varieties)

   • May boost energy, brain function, and metabolism (especially C8/C10)

5. Antimicrobial Support

   • Caprylic acid offers mild antimicrobial and antifungal effects

 Common Uses

• Topical use:

  • Generally safe and non-irritating for most people

  • Always patch test before use

• Internal use:
