From my experience, people tend to like their tanning products in the coconut arena, things like coconut vanilla or coconut fruity. Coconut by itself is a weak odor, so I think I was using something like 0.4 - 0.6% in the more fragrant formulas.
Never tried the Zinc Ricinoleate

This might be helpful as well with some formulating info:

I haven’t used this product but I have worked with a lot of DHA products, and the only way we really masked the smell was using enough fragrance, haha. Good luck and if you use one of these odor neutralizers, let us know if this helps with the DHA smell

I’m using HEC to make this foaming hand soap feel nicer; I wanted a more moisturizing feel without sacrificing foam performance or clarity. I haven’t used HPMC in a formula before, but willing to try if it is more compatible with the system.
The product I’m making is very fragrance driven. After solubilizing with DPG, my fragrance percent comes out to around 1.3% which is still high, but… like I said, fragrance is key to the customer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I tried polyquat-7 and it made the formula cloudy. Using HEC has been successful for film forming, making a soft feel on the skin vs. no HEC in the formula, which had no conditioning on the skin
