Zinc ricinoleate, otherwise known as zinc ricinoleate, zinc soap or zinc salt, is an organic compound of zinc and ricinoleic acid. This acid is predominantly present in castor oil, from which it is also produced. Zinc ricinoleate is significant for its absorption properties, where it neutralizes odors. Due to these properties, it is widely used in various industries.

The most common applications of zinc ricinoleate include its use in cosmetics, where it is a component of deodorants and antiperspirants. It is popular for its effectiveness in combating unpleasant body odour, but also for its gentleness towards sensitive skin. It is also used to make various creams, skin tonics and cleansing products. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is incorporated into ointments and creams where it helps to remove unpleasant odours. Zinc soap is also used in the home, where it is a valuable aid in removing odours from animal waste or smoking relics. Zinc ricinoleate is also found in the bicycle industry as part of chain lubricants. It does not break down in water and is completely biodegradable, making it one of the most environmentally friendly compounds.
