Why Magnesium is the Secret Ingredient Your Deodorant Needs (Especially If You Have Sensitive Skin)

If you’ve ever had red, irritated, or rashy armpits from using drugstore deodorants, you’re not alone. A lot of people don’t realize that common ingredients like aluminum, alcohol, and artificial fragrances can be harsh on your skin—especially in a delicate area like your underarms.

That’s exactly why we use magnesium in our Breathe Naturals formula—and why it's a total game changer for sensitive pits. 🧪🌿

So… What Does Magnesium Do in Deodorant?

Magnesium is a naturally occurring mineral that helps neutralize odor-causing bacteria. It works kind of like baking soda, but it’s way gentler on the skin—making it perfect for people who’ve had bad reactions to traditional deodorants or other “natural” options that still cause irritation.

In fact, magnesium is known for its anti-inflammatory and calming properties, which is why it’s often used in skincare products for sensitive or acne-prone skin. When applied to your underarms, it helps keep irritation away while still doing its job of keeping you fresh.

Why It Works So Well (And Keeps You Smelling Amazing)

When sweat mixes with bacteria on your skin, that’s when odor happens. Magnesium helps prevent that reaction by keeping the bacteria in check—without clogging your pores like aluminum does.

Our formula combines magnesium with arrowroot powder, tapioca starch, and probiotics, so you’re getting maximum odor control in a clean, skin-loving way. And no need to worry about pit stains—our formula glides on clear and smooth. ✨

Say Goodbye to Rashes and Redness

If you’ve tried natural deodorants before and were left disappointed by rashes or redness, you’ll love how gentle our formula is. With coconut oil, aloe vera, shea butter, and vitamin E, our deodorants nourish and hydrate while protecting your skin.
