Can MCT Oil be used topically on skin?

Follow

Yes. MCT Oil can be applied topically to the skin, although our MCT Oil is primarily intended for consumption.

MCT Oil is a lightweight oil that can be used as a simple moisturizer or mixed with other skincare products. Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin and massage gently.

Is MCT Oil safe for everyone?

Everyone's skin is different. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend patch testing a small amount first and waiting to see how your skin reacts.

Avoid applying MCT Oil to broken or irritated skin, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Can I use MCT Oil on my face?

You can, but we recommend starting with a small amount and patch testing first, especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.

The Bottom Line

MCT Oil can be used topically, but our product is formulated and labeled primarily as a dietary oil, not as a skincare product. If you choose to use it on your skin, use a small amount and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
