MCT Oil: The Unsung Hero Behind Our CBD Skincare
As the demand for natural beauty solutions grows, MCT oil in CBD skincare has emerged as a standout ingredient — praised for its ability to support skin, hair, and overall wellness. In this post, we’ll explore what MCT oil is, how it compares to coconut oil, and why it plays such a vital role in our self-care routines.
At Queen Cannabie, we use MCT oil as the base for our handcrafted CBD oil — which means every single one of our products contains both MCT and CBD, working together to nourish and restore your skin naturally.
Once you understand how MCT oil works, you’ll see why it’s an essential part of every Queen Cannabie formula — from our Canna-Oil Massage & Tissue Oil to our Canna-Soak Bath Salts and beyond.
So, what exactly is MCT oil?
MCT stands for Medium-Chain Triglycerides, a type of fat derived mostly from coconut oil. What makes MCTs unique is how light and easily absorbed they are — both by your body and your skin. This quick absorption is exactly why we use MCT oil as the foundation for our CBD extractions.
When applied topically, MCT oil helps CBD and essential oils penetrate deeper into your skin, making sure those calming and restorative compounds go exactly where they’re needed most.
4 Reasons Your Skin Loves MCT Oil
1. Deep hydration, fast absorption
MCT oil sinks in quickly without leaving a greasy finish. It hydrates from within and leaves your skin soft, not slick — perfect for daily use, especially if you don’t like heavy oils.
2. It helps CBD (and other actives) do more
MCT oil acts as a carrier oil, meaning it helps other ingredients — like full-spectrum CBD and essential oils — absorb deeper and work harder. It’s a natural booster for your skincare routine.
3. Soothes and strengthens your skin barrier
Thanks to its gentle fatty acids, MCT oil is calming for sensitive or irritated skin. Whether you’ve been in the sun, wind, or dry indoor air, it helps restore balance and lock in moisture.
4. Non-comedogenic and antimicrobial
Unlike heavier oils, MCT oil won’t clog pores, making it a smart pick for acne-prone or combination skin. Plus, its mild antimicrobial properties can help keep skin clear and happy.
MCT oil isn’t just a skincare darling — it’s also used in hospitals to support patients with digestion issues. Because it’s so easily absorbed, it provides quick nourishment without overloading the system.
That same property is why your skin responds so well to it — it’s gentle, efficient, and works naturally with your body.
