Description: Highly effective deodorant base on the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid. Beige pellets, characteristic odor. Water-insoluble, melts with other oily components in the oil phase. Melting Point 160F°/71°C. pH value 6.6. Biological degradability 99%. CAS: 13040-19-2 INCI Name: Zinc ricinoleate Properties: Zinc ricinoleate works in that it chemically fixes (traps & absorbs) odor molecules formed during bacterial decomposition of perspiration. It does not inhibit transpiration and is therefore not an antipersipirant. Zinc ricinoleate has no bactericidal or fungicidal properties. Therefore it does not interfere with the natural flora of the skin. Use: Can be melted together with the other oily components of the oil phase, preferably at 80°C/176°F. Emulsify as usual. Typical use level is 1.5-3%. For external use only. Applications: Deodorant sticks or emulsion type deodorants.
