Zinc Chemistries for Personal Care and Fragrance
Zinc compounds are widely used in personal care items such as deodorants, body sprays, and shampoos, and zinc oxide is commonly used as an effective sunscreen ingredient. Shepherd’s zinc portfolio includes zinc carboxylates that can be relevant when you need zinc based functionality in a formulation pathway, including roles tied to odor control chemistries and related applications.
For deodorant and body spray development specifically, zinc carboxylates are noted by Shepherd as effective malodor agents because they can irreversibly react with odor causing molecules like hydrogen sulfide and thiols. For programs that require zinc intermediates for downstream zinc salts or zinc oxide supply chains, Shepherd also offers Technical Grade Zinc Carbonate and highlights its role as an intermediate for other zinc salts and for generating zinc oxide on supports.
Below are some of our most popular zinc-based chemistries for personal care and fragrance:
