Enhancing Antiperspirant/Deodorant Cream (ID 124994) for Whitening and Stability

The Antiperspirant / Deodorant Base Cream (ID 124994) is an excellent base for adding skin-lightening ingredients. Since it is an O/W emulsion, both water-soluble and oil-soluble active ingredients can be incorporated.

1. Whitening Ingredients (for underarm lightening)

To achieve a whitening effect while maintaining the cream's texture and stability, consider adding the following ingredients:

• MSH White™ (ID 699): This is a highly effective, oil-soluble whitening agent (Undecylenoyl phenylalanine).
  • Usage Rate: Typically 1-2%.
  • Incorporation: Dissolve MSH White™ in a small amount of the oil phase (e.g., Cyclopentasiloxane or another light oil) before adding it to the base cream, or add it directly to the base and mix well until homogeneous.
• Z-White™ (ID 7348): A water-soluble whitening agent (Zinc PCA and Niacinamide derivative).
  • Usage Rate: Typically 1-3%.
  • Incorporation: Dissolve Z-White™ in a small amount of water or Propanediol (which is already in the base) and then mix into the base cream slowly with gentle stirring.

Note on Stability: Always add active ingredients slowly while mixing the base with a high-shear mixer (e.g., homogenizer or high-speed stirrer) to ensure they are fully dispersed and the emulsion remains stable.

2. Fragrance Recommendation

For deodorants, fresh, clean, and light scents are generally preferred as they complement the feeling of cleanliness. Recommended scent profiles include:

• Fresh/Clean: Cotton, Linen, or "Clean" type fragrances.
• Citrus: Light Lemon, Bergamot, or Grapefruit.
• Light Floral: White Tea, or a subtle Rose/Jasmine blend.

3. Odor Control Duration

The Antiperspirant / Deodorant Base Cream itself is a carrier and moisturizer. It does not contain the active ingredients responsible for odor or sweat control.

• Odor Control: The duration of odor control depends on the active antiperspirant ingredient you add, such as Anti-Sweat™ (Aluminum Chlorohydrate) (ID 615, mentioned in the base description).
• Typical Duration: When formulated correctly with 10-15% of an aluminum-based active ingredient, the product should provide 12 to 24 hours of effective sweat and odor control, depending on the concentration and individual body chemistry.
