Deodorant Spray Ingredients and DIY Formulation

Subject: Regarding Deodorant Spray Ingredients

Thank you for your inquiry about the ingredients in your deodorant spray. Based on the previous response from our staff, here is the information regarding the availability of the ingredients you listed:

• aqua (water): This is the base and not a product sold as a raw ingredient for formulation.
• Ammonium Alum: This ingredient is not available. Our staff recommended Anti-Sweat™ (Aluminum Chlorohydrate) (Product ID 615) as an alternative with deodorant and antiperspirant properties.
• Propylene Glycol: This ingredient is available (Product ID 138). It functions as a humectant and helps with texture.
• Allantoin: This ingredient is available (Product ID 75). It helps reduce irritation.
• Niacinamide: This ingredient is available (Product ID 74). It helps strengthen skin and improve radiance.
• Diazolidinyl Urea and Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate: These are preservatives. In the staff response, Diazolidinyl Urea was linked to Urea (Product ID 149), which was identified as a preservative, although Urea itself is typically a humectant. Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate was also mentioned as a preservative. We have various preservatives suitable for cosmetic formulations, including the one linked (Product ID 149, Urea, though its primary function is humectant, it was linked in the context of preservatives in the staff response) and others. You can select appropriate preservatives from our range.

Regarding mixing them yourself, yes, the ingredients we sell are raw materials intended for creating cosmetic formulations. You can purchase the available ingredients (Propylene Glycol, Allantoin, Niacinamide, and alternatives for Ammonium Alum and preservatives) and formulate your own deodorant spray. However, creating a stable and effective cosmetic product requires understanding formulation principles, including ingredient compatibility, appropriate concentrations, pH adjustment, and preservation to ensure safety and efficacy.

We recommend researching cosmetic formulation basics or looking into our formulation guides if available, or considering using pre-formulated bases if you are new to DIY cosmetics.
