How can this be a deodorant?
Here is the LOI of a deodorant stick I have seen on a website whose URL I have glued here:

I am ignorant as to HOW this can stay together…I wonder if there are ingredients missing on the label?
De-ionized Water, Aloe Vera gel, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate, Castor Oil, Chamomile Flower Extract, Vitamin E, Pure Essential Oil

Sodium stearate….and I concur….they left a word out before castor oil… A word like ‘hydrogenated’ cus they wanted to sound natural. ????
I would be a little suspect on the preservation system….as it appears only their deo active is used in that double duty. Very much guessing….there has been some omissions.

It’s the “jamming” approach to formulating. The whole thing is held together by the Sodium Stearate. But, I suspect this product is subject to seneresis. Also, they did not use the Deo version of Decalact that also contains Triethyl Citrate and Sage Oil. So, I suspect this does not deodorize very well and “sweats” over time.

I had NO idea sodium stearate can hold together the stuff in that product. I only use sodium stearate to make my propylene glycol & dipropylene glycol deodorant sticks. Thanks for the response!

I did not know sodium stearate could be used in other types of “deodorant”. I assumed it was only good to hold together glycol deodorant sticks. Thanks for the response!

Because the label says “deodorant”, is packaged like one and kooks like one. There’s no test it must satisfy. Caveat emptor, esp. with graillotion’s observation.

Har har! So true about what the labels declares. How many times have we all been disappointed by a supposedly “delicious” food item or fragrance for example(s), and it turns out to be gross? Thanks for your response.
