    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.
