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.

Faqs
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.
For Your Safety
This natural product is for external use only. Please exercise caution and do not ingest or take internally. Store away from children, animals, sunlight and heat. If pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult with your medical care-giver before use.

Very happy I decided to add this to my homemade deodorant. It definitely helps extend the odor free time period. Makes my homemade deodorant as good, or better, than a commercial anti perspirant
I was very hesitant to try zinc ricinoleate because I already have a winning homemade natural deodorant using bicarb. I have to say this is even better. Great for sensitive skin because I know longer need to use bicarb. It does its job as the description beautifully says. 100% happy with my purchase
Love this product. Tried other brands but got a reaction so won't be doing that again.
