Chemical compound

Zinc ricinoleate is the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid, a major fatty acid found in castor oil. It is used in many deodorants as an odor-adsorbing agent. The mechanism of this activity is unclear.

Zinc carboxylates adopt the basic zinc acetate structure but they are often depicted, like here, as salts with naked Zn and two ionized carboxylate anions.
