INCI: Aqua, Zinc ricinoleate, Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate, Propanediol

Zinc Ricinoleate Complex is a liquid, water-miscible deodorising active used in formulas that aim to neutralise odour rather than mask it with heavy fragrance. It combines zinc ricinoleate with a plant-based chelating ingredient to make it easier to incorporate into sprays, roll-ons, creams, and other water-based or surfactant-based products. The liquid format is cold processable, which makes it especially convenient in low-heat manufacturing. This is a formulation ingredient, not a finished deodorant product.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Zinc Ricinoleate Complex because it gives makers a practical way to build deodorising formulas with a cleaner, more ingredient-led approach. It is especially useful when odour control is the goal but a heavy fragrance profile is not.

Also available in Sample Sizes.

Q: Does Zinc Ricinoleate Complex stop sweating?
A: No. It is used to help neutralise odour molecules rather than block perspiration.

Q: Can it reduce the need for fragrance in a deodorant?
A: Many makers use less fragrance when including zinc ricinoleate, but the final scent still depends on the full formula.

Q: Can it be used in a clear spray?
A: It is water-miscible and often used in sprays, but final clarity still depends on the rest of the formula.
