Rather than masking smell with fragrance, it goes to the source and stops odour from forming in the first place. It's gentle, well-tolerated by skin, and doesn't interfere with your body's natural sweating process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1x4zg_107\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIs triethyl citrate safe for sensitive skin?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  Yes — it's one of the reasons this formula works so well for sensitive skin. It's free from the harsher odour-fighting ingredients (like bicarb soda) that can cause redness and irritation, and it has a very good safety profile. It does its job quietly but effectively, without upsetting the skin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1x4zg_107\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat does zinc ricinoleate do? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Think of it as an odour trap. Zinc ricinoleate is derived from castor oil and works by absorbing and locking in odour molecules before they can be detected. Combined with triethyl citrate, you've got two different odour-fighting mechanisms working together, which is why this formula holds up well throughout the day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1x4zg_107\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZinc can be irritating — is Zinc Ricinoleate the same thing?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  Not at all. Zinc ricinoleate is a very different compound to the zinc used in some other deodorant products. Zinc Ricinoleate is naturally derived from castor oil and is widely used in natural and sensitive-skin formulations. It's gentle, non-comedogenic, and doesn't block pores.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Mango Butter, Cold-Pressed Jojoba Oil, Tapioca, Australian Kaolin Clay, Plant-Derived Emulsifying Wax, *Triple-Milled Beeswax, Triethyl Citrate, Zinc Ricinoleate, Essential Oils (Sandalwood, Frankinsence).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*certified organic ingredient\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScoop a small amount onto your fingertip, warm gently between your fingertips and apply to each underarm.
