Is magnesium safe in deodorants?Updated 14 days ago

Magnesium is a safe and naturally occurring element used, at a pharmaceutical grade, in natural deodorant products as an alternative to aluminum, baking soda, and other ingredients that are potentially irritating, ineffective, or hazardous.

Magnesium's 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. Magnesium is a beneficial alternative to aluminum as it kills bacteria without blocking the pores or stifling the surrounding skin.
