  pH of deodorant spray

  Posted by natchemist on February 2, 2016 at 3:23 am

  Hi all,

  I’m currently formulating a an emulsion deodorant spray with 3% zinc ricinoleate.

  What would be the ideal pH of this formula?

  Thanks in advance.

  I would be cautious with Zinc Ricinoleate … lots of people report allergic and/or irritation reactions with deodorants containing ZnR.
