Natural Magnesium Deodorant For Sensitive Skin
Natural Magnesium Deodorant For Sensitive Skin
I made this natural deodorant free of baking soda, while effective, often the source of irritation when using a natural deodorant! Instead, some natural deodorants use magnesium hydroxide to disrupt the odor causing bacteria, without the irritation.
"Studies have shown that magnesium hydroxide does not absorb into the skin. Instead, its main purpose in a natural deodorant is to counteract any odor-causing bacteria on the surface of the skin without impacting the dermis – the layer of skin where sweat glands, pores and hair follicles are contained."- Garrison Minerals
This is not an antiperspirant. It naturally reduces or eliminates odor without the questionable ingredients in many antiperspirants. Arrowroot and tapioca starch helps reduce wetness and allows the product to dry to a powdery finish.
I recommend using twice a day, at least initially while you transition. Apply morning and night on clean pits.
To use: take a small pea sized amount on the back of your fingernail or with your finger and apply to your under arms. Thats it! I just rub the remaining cream on my hands or arms and I'm good to go!
Ingredients: arrowroot powder, tapioca starch, coconut oil, shea butter, sunflower seed oil, magnesium hydroxide, candelilla wax, essential oil blend

The natural deodorant has consistently and unswervingly served me well these last several years I have been using it. Add in the lack of plastic used, the positive impact on the environment as well as my body, and this gal continues to nail it. Thanks, SameName!
