Product Review: Radha Fractionated Coconut Oil

I have bad dry skin. Really bad. People kept telling me to try coconut oil but I was afraid it would smell like coconuts (a smell that makes me sick) or not even absorb. Then I got to try Radha fractionated coconut oil in exchange for a review so took the plunge. (Don't miss the special coupon code at the bottom of the post!)

According to Radha, their fractionated coconut oil is pure, with no fillers and can be a carrier oil for your massage, therapeutic, and essential oils as well as having many other uses. The company touts it as odorless, non-greasy, and colorless, and non-staining with a long shelf life so it won't go rancid and can prevent other oils from going rancid. Purchase of the oil comes with a money back guarantee.

The first think I notice is that the oil is, indeed, colorless. Even better, there is no smell. None, at all. Perfect for me and my needs. The viscosity is pretty dang near perfect, too. It's not too thick and isn't overly thin. On skin, it absorbs well. It does sit on the skin slightly for a bit, but ends up absorbing in. Skin isn't sticky or tacky at all. Only a small amount, about the size of a quarter at most, is needed. The oil doesn't wash off easily when hand washing which is perfect for moms who are washing their hands constantly. There's no need to keep applying it over and over after each wash AND hands stay protected while washing to boot. 

The oil is great on hair and has great viscosity.

As the fractionated coconut oil is so nice and mild with no fillers, I even use it on baby B's head to treat his cradle cap. He is constantly scratching his head because of the dry skin. The oil goes on much nicer than baby oil. There is no oil slick left behind as you get with baby oil. The fractionated coconut oil absorbs nicely and not much is needed. Best of all, wee baby B stopped scratching all the time. From now on, we're using this instead of the messy baby oil.

I love using oils on my hair. This one is no exception. A tiny amount covers all my hair and I have long, thick hair (at least halfway down my back). The oil absorbs right in, doesn't leave my hair looking greasy, and isn't heavy. My hair ends up shiny, smooth, and so soft.

As icing on the cake, I've spoken with a Radha rep a few times. They are so nice and very responsive! Great  for customer service. I have no qualms buying from them in the future.

Since only a small amount is needed for any application, this bottle is going to last a long time. That also makes the price really reasonable.

In short, the Radha fractionated coconut oil is great. I can't  find any negatives about it at all. I'm excited to try more of Radha products!
