Best wax for a deodorant stick……
Not looking to sell this…just for personal use. However….as the proverbial perfectionist…I still want it to feel stunning when I use it.
So I had seen castor wax mentioned….are there any other stunning (less draggy) waxes that make for an amazing deodorant stick? I see laurel wax and myrica (might not technically be a wax), and rice bran wax, at the suppliers. Should I consider a blend?
Would love to hear some feedback. As this is not a commercial product, price is no object…just perfection. I will probably include some emollients like Laurel laurate as well, and Isoamyl laurate….so maybe I don’t need the most slippery wax????….But the best performing one? I think my pet peeve…would be sticky after feel….so which would be least likely to create a sticky afterfeel?
Right now I am just looking at the haptics….

BTW…as I am going through formulas on ULP…I keep coming across Triclosan….are they still using that? (Or are these just old formulas?)

Old formulas. I don’t believe Triclosan is allowed in the US any longer.

@Graillotion I would play with Olive squalane wax - it should be rewarding in the stick formulations (Don’t confuse with Olive wax, which is just hydrogenated olive oil)
Re: Triclosan. As soon as our laboratory has recently looked for Triclosan efficient and safe replacement, we studied O-Cymen-5-Ol. This ingredient has become a leader in tests, including “sniff tests”. It shows excellent deodorizing efficacy at 0.1-0.3%. If you couple it with Triethyl citrate, Ethylhexylglycerin and Trehalose you will achieve even more pronounced effect. -

Triethyl citrate was of course on the list…O-Cymen-5-Ol and the latter two are new to my concept. I will look into them.
Aloha.
