Body odour is not caused by sweat itself (sweat is odourless) but by bacterial metabolism of sweat components — specifically, Corynebacterium and Staphyloccus species that thrive in the mildly acidic (pH 5–6) underarm environment. Magnesium Hydroxide at 10–15% creates an alkaline microenvironment (pH 8–9) that is inhospitable to these bacteria, stopping odour at the source rather than blocking sweat glands. Zinc Ricinoleate works through a completely different mechanism — molecular inclusion complexation, physically trapping odour molecules within its zinc soap structure before they volatilise. Together they provide dual-mechanism odour neutralisation without any sweat-blocking chemistry. You receive the complete formulation, the Magnesium Hydroxide dispersion protocol, the pour temperature specification for stick hardness optimisation, baking soda-free variant, and complete troubleshooting guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePart 2: Complete Business Plan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNatural deodorant is the single fastest-growing segment in personal care — consumers are switching from conventional antiperspirants en masse, but most are disappointed by performance and cycle back.
