Tag: Capric triglyceride

While frequently used in personal care products, some wonder: **is capric triglyceride bad for you**? Derived from coconut or palm oils, its presence in both cosmetics and food often sparks questions about its safety and health impact. Current research, however, generally recognizes it as safe for most people in the amounts typically consumed or applied.

Over 60% of coconut oil's fat content is made up of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a broad category of fats. But is capric triglyceride MCT oil, or is it a specific, refined version? It's the latter, a purified form created for specific nutritional and cosmetic applications.
