REFINED COCONUT OIL (RBD)

RBD coconut oil is a type of coconut oil that is ‘refined, bleached, and deodorized.’ This is one of the most common types of coconut oil with various applications for cooking, beauty uses, and more.

RBD stands for refined, bleached, deodorized. The “bleaching” is generally not a chemical process, but rather a filter process to remove impurities. A “bleaching clay” is used for this filtering. Steam is used to deodorize the oil since the starting point was copra. So the resulting product has a very bland taste, with little or no odor.
