This is an automatic translation

Zinc ricinoleate is the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid, an important fatty acid found in castor oil. It is used in many deodorants as an odor absorbing agent. Zinc ricinoleate is an active eco-bio deodorant formed from the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid. It comes in beads and has an effective deodorant power, yet it does not interfere with skin perspiration. Among its functions is that of fixing (leaks out and absorbs) the odor molecules formed during the bacterial decomposition of perspiration. It does not inhibit perspiration and is therefore not an antiperspirant. Zinc ricinoleate does not interfere with the natural flora of the skin.
