Formulation Deep Dive
The Deodorant | Mandelic Acid by Nécessaire is a high-performance anhydrous stick formulated to manage odor through a multi-action chemical and physical approach. The base utilizes Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax for a smooth, emollient glide, while Tapioca Starch provides a talc-free, non-greasy finish and essential moisture absorption. The active performance is driven by a synergistic blend of Mandelic Acid and Lactic Acid to lower skin pH and inhibit odor-causing bacteria, supported by Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Panthenol (Provitamin B5) to strengthen the skin barrier and soothe the delicate underarm area. Zinc Ricinoleate further enhances efficacy by chemically trapping odor molecules. The formulation is stabilized through a structured wax and vegetable oil matrix, including Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil and Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, and utilizes a clean-label preservation strategy leveraging the low-pH environment and Triethyl Citrate.
