Why This Product Is Worth Sourcing

To accelerate your time-to-market, source stock packaging components like tins or jars from a wholesale supplier and opt for locally applied adhesive labels. This avoids the long lead times associated with custom-molded or printed packaging.
Consolidate your raw material sourcing. Partnering with a single, large-scale supplier for common base ingredients like oils and powders can simplify logistics, reduce lead times, and improve cost-effectiveness for your bulk deodorant order.
Prioritize quality control for formula stability. Given Australia's climate, request samples and conduct temperature stability tests to ensure the paste maintains its texture and does not melt or become messy. Also, verify the non-staining claims on dark fabrics.
Verify regulatory compliance. Ensure your product's formulation, labeling, and claims adhere to the regulations set by the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS) for cosmetic products.

Production-Ready Specifications

Recommended specifications based on market demand and supplier feasibility.

Parameter	Recommendation	Rationale
Formulation Type	Bicarb-Free Deodorant Cream for Sensitive Skin	Directly targets the top positive insight where customers value gentle, bicarb-free formulas that prevent redness and itching. This is a key feature for sensitive skin users in the value segment.
Key Ingredients	Magnesium Hydroxide, Arrowroot Powder, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil	This combination provides an effective, low-cost, bicarb-free base. Magnesium neutralizes odor, arrowroot absorbs moisture, and shea/coconut oils ensure a smooth, non-sticky application, addressing positive feedback on user experience and negative feedback on formulas that are too hard or messy.
Scent Profile	Subtle, Unisex Essential Oil Blends (e.g., 'Citrus & Mint', 'Lavender & Tea Tree')	Responds to customer preference for subtle, clean scents and avoids the negative feedback on gender-specific branding that can alienate users. This ensures the widest possible market appeal.
Effectiveness Claim	All-Day Odor Protection (24-Hour Verified)	Long-lasting effectiveness is a primary purchase driver. A verified 24-hour claim is competitive and avoids the customer disappointment that comes from exaggerated claims (e.g., 96-hour) noted in negative reviews.
Application Feel & Residue	Non-staining, fast-absorbing cream that leaves no white marks	Directly solves one of the biggest customer pain points: products that leave white marks or stains on clothing. A smooth, non-residue feel is a highly-rated positive attribute.
Packaging	60g Recyclable Metal Tin	Eco-friendly packaging like metal tins is a significant positive selling point. A 60g size is perceived as good value, countering the negative feedback on small containers that feel overpriced.
Formula Stability	Temperature-stable paste using Candelilla Wax	Addresses the negative insight about pastes melting or becoming too soft and messy in warm climates, ensuring a consistent user experience regardless of the season.
