Zinc Ricinoleate

Zinc Ricinoleate from CanCastor is a high‑performance deodorizing active derived from castor oil, designed to capture and neutralize odor molecules rather than simply masking them. It is ideal for modern “clean label” deodorants, personal‑care products, and odor‑control systems in textiles, plastics, and household applications.

Zinc Ricinoleate is the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid, the main fatty acid found in castor seed oil. Supplied typically as a white to off‑white solid or fine powder with a mild fatty odor, it is an oleochemical ingredient valued for its ability to trap and bind odor‑causing molecules, making them no longer perceivable.

At CanCastor, Zinc Ricinoleate is produced from high‑quality castor‑oil derivatives and zinc to consistent purity and performance specifications, delivering excellent odor‑adsorbing efficiency with good skin compatibility and biodegradability. It is suitable for natural and aluminum‑free deodorant lines as well as technical odor‑control masterbatches and formulations.

Typical Applications

• Personal Care and Deodorants: Used in stick, roll‑on, cream, spray, and gel deodorants to complex and neutralize body‑odor molecules, offering long‑lasting odor control without blocking pores or relying on heavy fragrances.
• Home Care, Textiles, and Plastics: Incorporated into detergents, fabric refreshers, shoe sprays, pet‑care products, and air‑care systems. Also used in masterbatches to impart built‑in odor‑control properties to flexible PVC, TPEs, and other plastics.
• Industrial and Specialty Uses: Employed in technical odor‑control formulations for waste‑management, sanitary products, and industrial hygiene where persistent malodors must be minimized without aggressive disinfectants.
