Benzoic acid? or Na benzoate? should be 5000 ppm should be enough.
Would you consider this a water or oil in water

If your anticipated development is rapid and includes multiple minor changes/versions, you can determine, if technically justified, which modification justify full stability qualification or stability before marketing.
To Mike’s point, it is important to comply to relevant regulations but do not consider government regulations technically useful or valid. Do what is necessary to comply AND look to industry standards to do what is technically valid.

Aluminum chlorhydrate and related monograph monograph actives are antiperspirants - not deodorants. Not aware any of options named above would be functional and certain none would be legally used to support antiperspirant claim in US.
For product claiming “deodorant” - you can use anything (or nothing) but in US not Aluminum chlorhydrate and related monograph actives.

Suggest you do not. If you receive it clean - appropriate sanitary practices of sampling and use should not pose a risk.

Doubt you’ll have obvious mold growing on your consumers’ faces. Perhaps mold/bacterial contamination of your product.
Food quality ingredients often fail to meet cosmetic microbiological standards.

pH?

Does ACA charge for certification?

You can find info for small companies on the net - e.g. https://www.modernsoapmaking.com/blog/understanding-the-2022-united-states-cosmetic-regulation-changes-with-mocra
To your immediate question
small businesses are fully exempt from facility registration and product listing submission if their average gross annual sales for the previous 3-year period is less than $1,000,000 and do not make any of the following:
- cosmetics that come in contact with mucus membranes of the eye
- cosmetics that are injected
- cosmetics that are intended for internal use
- cosmetics that intend to alter the appearance for more than 24 hours
-
Washed, there is no issue

Very doubtful you’re not encountering NaOH per se.
-
Sorry - very doubtful that you ARE encountering….

No

500 or 5000 ppm? 0.05% is 500 ppm.
Think Na benzoate would be preferable.
-
No pH 3-4 is not low enough.
What is the entire formula?.
-
For a deodorant. The claim is not regulated - they can use what they want without the burden of efficacy.
-
Probably not.
-
Suggest you look also at similar products from major guys on the market
-
The difference is prob not significant, esp as you’re adding more via ECT.
-
How much will your formula accommodate?
-
how much?
-
What’s the preservative?
-
Thanks Mark.
Sure hope you guys make it fee for necessary services rather than the predatory piece of the action - ala a bunch we all know too well.

Is aloe the only source of water? Do you see this as oil in water or water in oil emulsion?
Preservation of the finished product is your responsibility - not your supplier’s.
If you determine no further preservation is needed, you’ll need to add the supplier’s preservative (system) top your ingredient label.’

There is no “sodium hydrochloric acid” and hydrochloric acid like NaOH is ionic so not the parent compound in water but the ions H and Cl. Not much use in cosmetics but perhaps to adjust pH and that at low levels.
Glycolic acid? This is not relevant to either of the above.
-
No. You should see it far down on the ingredient label and a little sodium will not be an issue.
Maybe the pH of the products bothers you. Look for that on SDS documents.
