Zinc Ricinoleate

CanCastor presents Zinc Ricinoleate, a high-performance, sustainably sourced deodorizing active derived directly from premium castor oil. Unlike traditional masking agents, our Zinc Ricinoleate excels at capturing and chemically neutralizing a broad spectrum of odor molecules, rendering them imperceptible. This makes it an indispensable ingredient for formulators aiming to develop modern, effective “clean label” products across personal care, textiles, plastics, and diverse household and industrial applications.

The Science Behind Superior Odor Control

Zinc Ricinoleate is the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid, the predominant fatty acid found in Ricinus communis seeds. This unique chemical structure enables it to form stable complexes with nitrogen- and sulfur-containing odor molecules, effectively binding them and preventing their release into the air. CanCastor’s Zinc Ricinoleate is typically supplied as a white to off-white solid or fine powder, characterized by a mild, fatty odor, indicating its natural origin. Its oleochemical nature underscores its value as a bio-based solution for advanced odor management.

CanCastor's Quality and Performance Promise

At CanCastor, we pride ourselves on producing Zinc Ricinoleate from high-quality, responsibly sourced castor oil derivatives, combined with zinc to achieve consistent purity and unparalleled performance. Our rigorous manufacturing processes ensure a product that delivers exceptional odor-adsorbing efficiency while maintaining excellent skin compatibility and biodegradability. This commitment positions our Zinc Ricinoleate as a prime choice for developers of natural and aluminum-free deodorant lines, as well as those formulating sophisticated technical odor-control masterbatches and specialized industrial solutions. Its efficacy in neutralizing malodors without blocking pores or relying heavily on fragrances aligns perfectly with consumer demand for healthier, more transparent product ingredients.

Versatile Applications for Modern Demands

The broad utility of Zinc Ricinoleate from CanCastor extends across numerous sectors:

• Personal Care and Deodorants: A cornerstone ingredient for effective, long-lasting odor control in stick, roll-on, cream, spray, and gel deodorants. It complexes and neutralizes body odor molecules, providing freshness without irritation. Its suitability for natural and aluminum-free formulations makes it a preferred choice in the burgeoning clean beauty market.
• Home Care, Textiles, and Plastics: Integrates seamlessly into detergents, fabric refreshers, shoe sprays, and pet-care products, neutralizing odors at their source. For durable goods, it's incorporated into masterbatches to impart built-in, persistent odor-control properties to materials like flexible PVC, TPEs, and other polymers, enhancing product longevity and consumer satisfaction.
• Industrial and Specialty Uses: Essential in technical odor-control formulations for waste management, sanitary products, and industrial hygiene. Here, it offers a powerful, non-aggressive solution for minimizing persistent malodors, contributing to healthier and more pleasant environments.
