Deodorant

(short description of the project + goals)

  • Deodorant

    Some ideas:

    • This recipe with zinc ricinoleate & zinc – hard to get
    • Alcohol based: isopropanol? Might not be good for skin
    • Try to recreate my current deodorant based on Triethyl citrate (TEC) – probably about 3-5%. Replace propylene glycol with glycerin like this product? Or this one? Formulations on Specialchem (or at least the ones without alcohol) have about 3% glycerin.

    Some ingredients:

    • Glycerin
    • Triethyl citrate (TEC)
    • Xanthan gum? HEC?
    • Isopropanol?
    • pH buffer

    I did find TEC (29%) in a product called dermosoft decalect deo MB, which also contains sodium caproyl/lauroyl lactylate (70%) and sage oil (1%). Specifically meant for deo. Maybe I’ll just buy that. At the recommended concentration of 0.5% however that’s only like 0.15% TEC though. Hm.
