Straight magnesuium oil put on my sensative arm pits (and yes I shave) is a No No.. Ladies do not try this at home, it will hurt!0 -

Are you looking for a magnesium supplement or a natural deoderant? Because if you want a magnesium supplement, just take Natural Calm. It's magnesium citrate, which is one of the more absorbable forms, and it won't burn your skin.1 -

Use Toms deodorant - google it.
Sold at Walmart.
If you don't sweat much, Tom's probably works just fine. As someone who sweats, I can tell you that using Tom's deodorant is just like using nothing at all. Thirty minutes after application I was stinky.0 -
I used to never wear deodorant and didn't smell any worse for it. Every time I went to the bathroom I'd wash my pits with the antibacterial hand soap. Stayed clean & fresh all day.
That was back when deodorant was sticky roll-on, lung burning aerosol spray, or clumpy sticks that left white residue on clothes. There's better choices now.0 -

Yeah. My mom got it for us as teens. Started babysitting just so I could get my own choice of deodorant. Didn't enjoy being the stinky kid in class.1 -

+3 I smelled like a big ol' skunk within 30 minutes of application. Yuck!0 -

Interesting link! I take magnesium glycinate in pill form as well. I don't know if it's alternative health propaganda or the truth but many websites say magnesium oil is better absorbed than pills.0 -
I use either Malin + Goetz deo or Meow Meow Tweet deo cream. I stay a little dryer with the latter but I don't stink with either of them and the M+G is easier to apply. I tried Tom's and wasn't happy with it.0

I used to make my own natural deodorant (coconut oil, Shea butter, baking soda, corn starch), but now I use Piper Wai. It's a cream, charcoal based product and it changed my world. They were on shark tank last year.1

I am skeptical about this. While in theory it sounds great, not sure I'd be willing to try it. I have a 12hr job that can be very labor intensive and deals with the public all shift long, and Having BO is just not an option.0 -

A better option to get magnesium is to eat magnesium rich foods (dark chocolate is one!) or soak in Epsom salts bath...or you could eat chocolate while taking a bath.

I've tried a bunch of natural alternatives, but the normal antiperspirants you buy at the store just can't be beat if you can't afford to have BO. I wear natural stuff in the winter and if I'm not exercising, but it would be cruel to those around me to not put on the artificial antiperspirants when I go to the gym or in the summer.1 -
Never tried it. If it's healthier for you than antiperspirant/deodorant and it works, go for it.
I've used "the rock" and it works pretty damned well.0 -
Why not just use Crystal deodorant? It's all natural...no chemicals. Can't you get magnesium from food?
Lmao @ no chemicals.

I use Jāsön Soothing Aloe Vera deodorant stick. The scent is pretty neutral and it works well.
I have not tried magnesium oil for deodorant.0 -
