beaker and heat to the same temperature. Add phase B to phase A and stir well to form the cream, remove
from the heat. Keep stirring until room temperature. Then add phase C and stir again well. Test pH with pH
indicator strips, ideal pH between 5 and 7. Fill into Roll-On container. The cream will thicken little more
during the next few days.
Properties
Zinc ricinoleate works in that it chemically fixes (traps & absorbs) odor molecules formed during bacterial
decomposition of perspiration. It does not inhibit natural transpiration and has no bactericidal or fungicidal
properties. Therefore it does not interfere with the natural flora of the skin. Very mild deodorant type.
