Question
I have an existing spray deodorant formula and would like to adjust it to be thicker so I can put it in a roll-on bottle instead. Could you please help me adjust the formula?
The original formula is as follows:
| Ingredient (Name for FDA notification and label) | Price per 50g (฿) | % |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Light Lotion Maker (GLYCERYL OLEATE CITRATE , Caprylic/capric triglyceride) | 6.38 | 4.00 |
| 2. Dimethicone 1Secs (Dimethicone) | 22.68 | 30.00 |
| 3. Sterile Distilled Water (AQUA) | 5.74 | 59.00 |
| 4. Citromask™ (Natural Deodorizer) (Fragrance) | 16.77 | 2.00 |
| 5. Farnesol (Farnesol) | 19.32 | 2.00 |
| 6. Odor-Kill™ (Water-soluble) (MALTODEXTRIN) | 6.97 | 2.00 |
| 7. Mild Preserved Eco™ (Preservative-Free) (Propanediol , Ethylhexylglycerin) | 0.69 | 1.00 |
Answer
Modified Roll-on Deodorant Formula
| Ingredient | Percentage (%) |
|---|---|
| Light Lotion Maker | 4.00 |
| Dimethicone 1Secs | 30.00 |
| น้ำกลั่น (Aqua) | 58.70 |
| Citromask™ | 2.00 |
| Farnesol | 2.00 |
| Odor-Kill™ | 2.00 |
| Mild Preserved Eco™ | 1.00 |
| Xanthan Gum | 0.30 |

Ingredient Functions:
- Light Lotion Maker: Acts as the emulsifier, binding the oil and water phases together to create a stable lotion texture. It can be used with a cold process.
- Dimethicone 1Secs: A fast-evaporating silicone that provides a smooth, non-greasy feel on the skin.
- น้ำกลั่น (Aqua): The water base for the formula.
- Citromask™: A natural deodorizer effective against fatty acid odors (body odor) and cigarette smells.
- Farnesol: Helps to suppress odor-causing bacteria.
- Odor-Kill™: A water-soluble deodorant that helps absorb various odors, including chemical smells and some body odors. Note that it can also absorb fragrance if present.
- Mild Preserved Eco™: A broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that helps preserve the formula without being classified as a traditional preservative. It also has some humectant properties.
- Xanthan Gum: The thickening agent added to increase the viscosity of the water phase, giving the formula a thicker, roll-on consistency. You can adjust the percentage slightly (typically 0.1-2%) to achieve your desired thickness.
Mixing Instructions (Cold Process):
- Water Phase: In a container, combine น้ำกลั่น (Aqua), Odor-Kill™, and Xanthan Gum. Mix thoroughly with a high-speed mixer (like a stick blender) until the Xanthan Gum is fully hydrated and a smooth gel forms without lumps.
- Oil Phase: In a separate container, combine Light Lotion Maker, Dimethicone 1Secs, Citromask™, and Farnesol. Mix until all ingredients are uniformly dispersed.
- Combine Phases: Slowly pour the Oil Phase into the Water Phase while continuously mixing with high speed. Continue mixing until a stable, thickened emulsion is formed.
- Final Step: Add Mild Preserved Eco™ to the mixture and mix well until evenly distributed.
Once fully mixed, the formula should have a thicker consistency suitable for filling into a roll-on bottle.
