{"product_id":"zinc-ricinoleate-pellet","title":"Zinc Ricinoleate (Pellet)","description":"\u003cp\u003eZinc Ricinoleate is a naturally derived, high-performance odour absorber for aluminium-free deodorants and odour-control formulations. The zinc salt of ricinoleic acid — sourced from castor oil — it works by chemically trapping odour molecules rather than masking them, without blocking perspiration. It has no bactericidal or fungicidal action, so it won't disrupt the skin's natural flora, making it well suited to sensitive-skin formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied as easy-to-melt, wax-like pellets, COSMOS-compatible and biodegradable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutralises odour without inhibiting natural perspiration (not an antiperspirant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGentle and non-irritating — suitable for sensitive skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiodegradable and naturally derived from renewable castor oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks in stick, balm, emulsion and cream formats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTypical uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e deodorant sticks and balms, emulsion deodorants, foot creams, and household\/laundry odour control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil-soluble — add to the oil phase and melt with your other oils and waxes (melting point ~71°C; heat the oil phase to ~80°C), then emulsify as usual.
