  DEODORANT- some help, please

  Hello to you all,

  I’d really want to try a creamy deo, so I’ve settled for this formula (Evonik’s) as my new experiment.

  As I haven’t used some of the ingredients till now, your help is much appreciated on the following:

  1. Polyglyceryl-3 Caprylate, according to the manufacturer, is “a mild vegetable based cosmetic co-emulsifier with anti-microbial properties especially beneficial for the use in AP/Deo formulations. It reliably reduces odor-causing bacteria on the skin at very low concentrations, while being non-irritating and non-sensitizing to the skin.”

  I do not have it, nor can I source it. Should I leave it out, or would Glyceryl Caprylate, used at same %, be a good substitute?

  2. I’m thinking to settle for a pH of 4.8- would this be an appropiate pH for this formula?

  3. Is it ok to replace the preservative they use with Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin(0.8%), plus Sodium benzoate(0.2%)?

  Should I add TGDA (0.2%) too (I don’t have, nor can I source EDTA)?

  Thank you very much for taking your time to help.
