What is Zinc Ricinoleate?
Zinc Ricinoleate is a highly effective deodorant based on a zinc salt of ricinolic acid.
What is the role of Zinc Ricinoleate in deodorants?
Zinc Ricinoleate traps and absorbs odor molecules, making them imperceptible to the odor receptors in the nose, thereby deodorizing.
Does Zinc Ricinoleate inhibit natural perspiration?
No, Zinc Ricinoleate does not inhibit natural perspiration.
Does Zinc Ricinoleate have bactericidal or fungicidal properties?
No, Zinc Ricinoleate does not have bactericidal or fungicidal properties.
What is the source of Zinc Ricinoleate?
Zinc Ricinoleate is derived from castor seed oil obtained from the Ricinus communis plant.
Is Zinc Ricinoleate safe to use?
Yes, Zinc Ricinoleate is considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products.
What types of products is Zinc Ricinoleate suitable for?
