ZINC RICINOLEATE

CAS NO.: 13040-19-2
EC/LIST NO.: 235-911-4

Zinc ricinoleate is the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid, a major fatty acid found in castor oil. 
Zinc ricinoleate is used in many deodorants as an odor-adsorbing agent. 
The mechanism of this activity is unclear. 

Zinc carboxylates adopt the basic zinc acetate structure but they are often depict, like here, as salts with naked Zn2+ and two ionized carboxylate anions.

Zinc Ricinoleate is a highly effective deodorant based on a zinc salt of ricinolic acid. It does not inhibit natural perspiration. 
Zinc ricinoleate has no bactericidal or fungicidal properties and therefore does not affect the natural skin flora. 
Due to its good deodorant properties, Zinc Ricinoleate is particularly suitable for all types of deodorant emulsions.

Zinc ricinoleate is fine white powder made from the seeds of the Ricinus communis (or castor bean) plant.
Zinc ricinoleate remains liquid at high and low temperatures.

Zinc ricinoleate consists of zinc salts and fatty acids from castor oil. 
Zinc ricinoleate  neutralises unpleasant odours and is therefore used in deodorants

Zinc ricinoleate production involves carrying out a reaction of water and castor oil in presence of zinc oxide at 10-70[deg] C with an enzyme, cleaving castor oil in glycerol and ricinoleic acid. 
The water is removed after completion of the reaction. The enzyme is lipase, preferably lipase obtained from Thermomyces. 
An independent claim is also included for zinc ricinoleate produced in the method.

Zinc ricinoleate is the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid, a major fatty acid found in Castor oil, a vegetable oil obtained from the seeds of the Ricinus Communis plant.

Zinc ricinoleate traps and absorbs odor molecules, making them imperceptible to the odor receptors in the nose. 
Zinc ricinoleate doesn’t interfere with the cutaneous natural bacterial flora and doesn’t inhibit the natural transpiration.

Zinc ricinoleate eliminates and prevents bad smells
Zinc ricinoleate is the natural alternative to aluminium salts

Zinc Ricinoleate is made by pressing the seeds of the Ricinus communis (Castor bean) plant to extract the oil, which after that is hydrolyzed to create ricinoleic acid. 
Ricinoleic acid is then combined with zinc oxide to create Zinc Ricinoleate. 

Zinc Ricinoleate is a really powerful natural odor absorber and for this reason it’s a popular ingredient in personal care and cleaning products. 
Zinc Ricinoleate does not prevent perspiration but has antibacterial properties, which makes it a perfect ingredient in our deodorant.

Zinc ricinoleate (Zn(Ri)2) exhibits excellent selectivity and the capability to remove odor-active compounds, such as nitrous compounds (NH3 and organic nitrogen) and sulfurous compounds (H2S, organic sulfides, and mercaptans). 
In contrast with the conventional catalyst-(or enzyme)-aided process, in this study, Zn(Ri)2 was prepared on zinc foil by a facile electrochemical approach. 
The electrochemically synthesized Zn(Ri)2 was characterized and compared to commercially available Zn(Ri)2, which clearly indicated that the average size and the production yield are strongly dependent on the external bias and anodization time: 
an increase in the diameter from 9.3 µm at 30 V to 15.2 µm at 80 V. 
In particular, an external bias of 80 V afforded the most stable particle structure and highest production yield. 
During anodization, the particles agglomerate and grow to form larger particles. 
With a distinct spherical morphology, the increased surface area contributes to the enhanced odor-removing capacity of 88% in 30 min, which is 2.3 times stronger than that of the commercial product.

The zinc ricinoleate is extracted from castor oil and from the seeds of Ricinus communis.
Most of the deodorants rely on the combination of an antibacterial agent (such as triclosan) to kill the odor-causing bacteria and when the process is done it masks it up with a fragrance. 
Zinc ricinoleate works in a different way than anti-odor agents, instead of covering smell with fragrance or killing bacteria it traps and absorbs the odor from the bacteria so that you don’t stink. 
As the zinc ricinoleate is extracted from the castor oil it does not cause skin irritation but some other odor neutralizing agent does.

Another benefit that supports the demand for zinc ricinoleate products is that they are free of aluminum salts, so they won’t stain your clothes yellow. 
Along with the deodorants and other products using zinc, ricinoleate are safer and minimizes the chances of inhaling the harmful anti-odor agents. 
Rising consciousness among the customer towards their well-being is enforcing the demand for zinc ricinoleate in the market and is foreseen to grow at a significant pace over the projection period.

Zinc ricinoleate, a salt of ricinoleic acid, eliminates odor by chemically binding unpleasant odorous substances in such a way that they are no longer perceptible. 
The deodorizing effect is demonstrated and formulation guidelines for use of some commercially available zinc ricinoleate products is given 


First, castor oil is manufactured by pressing the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant (castor beans). 
The seeds must first be dried, the hulls are removed, and then the seeds are cleaned and heated to dry them out. 
These seeds are crushed to collect oil, which is then hydrolyzed to obtain ricinoleic acid

Zinc Ricinoleate absorbs odor. It works by trapping and then absorbing the odor molecules that occur from the bacterial decomposition of sweat.

Zinc ricinoleate [Zn(Ri)2] is widely used in surfactant and detergent mixtures for the adsorption of odor-active compounds. 
The mechanism of this process is not known. 
In this initial study, we discuss the results of molecular dynamics computer simulations that were performed to get more information and detailed insights into the interaction mechanism between Zn(Ri)2 and odor-active substances. 
The calculations, based on simple molecular mechanics approximations, simulated the dynamic features of the molecular structures of Zn(Ri)2 in vacuum, in the oil phase, and in aqueous solution.
We determined actual molecular conformations and simulated an adduct of ammonia with Zn(Ri)2. 
On close inspection, in the vacuum and oil phase structures, the Zn2+ ion is almost completely shielded by the oxygen ligands. 
Calculated structural transitions caused by the interaction of Zn(Ri)2 with water-solvent molecules resulted in a weakening of the electrostatic shield. 
Nucleophilic attack of odor-active compounds to the relatively unprotected Zn2+ atom is easy to achieve in aqueous solution. 
Simulation of the addition product of Zn(Ri)2 with ammonia revealed an elementary structural change, resulting in an increase of the solubility and adsorption activity of Zn(Ri)2. 
Molecular dynamics simulations showed that the results coincide with experimental observations.
