We now carry the pearls here:
Zinc Ricinoleate powder formulates equal to the pearls. Follow the same usage rate.
Zinc Ricinoleate powder is a white to off-white free flowing powder. It is an odour absorber in the form of powder. Zinc Ricinoleate is a key ingredient in most natural deodorant formulations, as it traps and absorbs odour as well as easily emulsifies into oils and waxes.
However, it is not an antiperspirant and does not have any antimicrobial properties and so will not interfere with the skin's natural microbial flora.
Odour: Is characteristic of any fatty acid ester and will not affect the end formulation.

Sample recipe from https://thethingswellmake.com/natural-homemade-deodorant-sensitive-skin/
Melt together the Shea butter, almond oil, beeswax, and zinc ricinoleate in a double boiler until the wax and zinc ricinoleate melt. Remove from the heat.
Add in the zinc oxide, matcha powder, diatomaceous earth, fullers earth, vitamin E drops, and essential oils, and whisk together well until the zinc oxide is well incorporated into the oils and wax.
While still warm, pour the mixture into deodorant containers. You can also pour it into tins, or pour any excess into storage containers, for applying the deodorant by hand.
Allow the mixture to cool off and set without disturbing it. Once it has set, you can use it immediately!
Matcha is optional for antioxidant/anti-inflammatory properties and a bit of colour. Charcoal powder can be used for absorbency
Use the essential oils of your choice for scent. (Or leave them out completely for unscented.)
