Zinc Ricinoleate: The Natural Deodorant Game Changer




In the world of natural deodorants, finding an effective solution that neutralizes odor more naturally can be challenging. One ingredient that's gaining attention for its powerful deodorizing properties is zinc ricinoleate.

What is Zinc Ricinoleate?

Zinc ricinoleate is the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid, which is derived from castor oil. Castor oil is a well-known natural oil, frequently used in skincare and hair care for its moisturizing properties. However, when its fatty acid, ricinoleic acid, is transformed into zinc ricinoleate, it takes on a unique role as a deodorizer.

How Does Zinc Ricinoleate Work?

Unlike antiperspirants, which block the sweat glands, zinc ricinoleate does not inhibit sweating. Instead, it traps and neutralizes odor molecules. Body odor is primarily caused by bacteria breaking down sweat, producing smelly compounds. Zinc ricinoleate binds to these odor molecules, neutralizing them before they can be detected by our senses.

This makes it ideal for natural deodorants where the goal is to control odor without interfering with the body’s natural processes like perspiration.

Key Benefits of Zinc Ricinoleate:

  1. Neutralizes Odor Effectively


    Zinc ricinoleate directly targets the molecules responsible for body odor, preventing unpleasant smells rather than simply masking them. This makes it one of the most effective natural deodorant ingredients.

  2. Non-Irritating


    Zinc ricinoleate is gentle on the skin, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. It's not an astringent like aluminum-based antiperspirants, so it won’t clog pores or irritate the skin.

  3. Odorless and Non-Staining


    Unlike some natural deodorant ingredients, zinc ricinoleate doesn’t have a strong scent of its own. It also doesn't stain clothing, which can be a concern with some natural deodorant formulations.

  4. Compatible with Essential Oils


    If you're formulating natural deodorants with essential oils for added fragrance or skin benefits, zinc ricinoleate works harmoniously without clashing with the oils. It allows the fragrance to shine while still neutralizing odor effectively.

A Key Player in Natural Deodorants

For anyone looking to create or use a natural deodorant that balances effective odor control with a skin-friendly formula, zinc ricinoleate is an ingredient worth considering. It’s one of the few natural ingredients that can genuinely deliver long-lasting odor protection more naturally.

We’ve chosen to include zinc ricinoleate, in our deodorant to embrace a more natural approach to personal care while still allowing our customers to feel confident in their odor protection throughout the day.

Our Fresh & Free Deodorant is currently available at Be Kekoa Apothecary and will be available online soon. It is designed to help keep you fresh and is free of many ingredients consumers don’t want.

How do you keep it Fresh & Free?

Aromatic blessings,

Tricia
