CORRECTION: All Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides are NOT created equal.

Hi Maurice and all,

Thank you for this detailed info - already saved it in my note book.

Here is yet another silly question that came to my head - Ricinoleic

acid, does this have anything to do with castor oil or..?

Mono-ester, let me see... A mono-ester like Glyceryl Ricinoleate is

formed by the reaction of one acid (ricinoleic acid) and one alcohol

(glycerin)?

Off to learn more about esters...

Be well,

Sevi
