Why We Use Zinc Ricinoleate in Our Natural Deodorants
When it comes to natural deodorants, one ingredient stands out for its powerful odor-neutralizing properties zinc ricinoleate. At Lathr, we prioritize clean, effective ingredients that are gentle on your skin but tough on odour. Here’s why zinc ricinoleate is a key player in our natural deodorants.
What Is Zinc Ricinoleate?
Zinc ricinoleate is a zinc salt derived from ricinoleic acid, which is found in castor oil. Castor oil itself is extracted from the seeds of the castor plant, making zinc ricinoleate a naturally derived ingredient.
Unlike traditional antiperspirants that rely on aluminum to block sweat glands, zinc ricinoleate works by tackling odour at its source. This makes it an excellent option for those seeking a natural and effective alternative.
How Does Zinc Ricinoleate Work?
Zinc ricinoleate is a powerhouse when it comes to neutralizing odors. Here’s how it works:
- Odour Absorption: Instead of masking unpleasant smells with synthetic fragrances, zinc ricinoleate binds to odor molecules, trapping them and effectively neutralizing their smell.
- Non-Antibacterial: Unlike some deodorant ingredients, it doesn’t kill bacteria. This is a gentler approach that supports the skin’s natural microbiome.
- Long-Lasting Freshness: By addressing odor at its source, zinc ricinoleate helps you stay fresh throughout the day without relying on overpowering scents.
Is Zinc Ricinoleate Natural?
Yes, zinc ricinoleate is naturally derived! While it undergoes a simple chemical process to combine zinc and ricinoleic acid, its origins in castor oil make it a sustainable and nature-based ingredient. It aligns perfectly with Lathr’s commitment to clean, effective, and cruelty-free products.
