Q: Does zinc ricinoleate stop sweating?
A: No, it is designed to neutralise odour molecules rather than block perspiration.

Q: Will this remove the need for fragrance in deodorant?
A: Many makers use less fragrance when using zinc ricinoleate, but final scent is still formula-dependent.

Q: Can I use this in a clear spray?
A: It is water-miscible and often used in sprays, but clarity depends on your full formula and ingredients.
