  What ingredients make Zinc Ricinoleate less irritating?

  Posted by Rhys on October 31, 2024 at 6:18 pm

  Hi there,

  I’m making a natural roll-on deodorant.

  I have a good base formula I’m using learnt from IPCS.

  That works great, but I wanted some added performance so I added 1% Zinc Ricinoleate and reduce the water by 1%.

  Its highly performant but after about a week my armpits are irritated and dry.

  Has anyone used Zinc Ricinoleate but needed to add certain emollients or moisturising ingredients to make its daily application sustainable?

  Right now all I am using is 1.5% Isoamyl Laurate.

  Do other emollients work better for this ingredient? ie: Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, niacinamide, squalane, or is it better using something with soothing properties like Histidine?

  Thanks.
