Magnesium Hydroxide

Description

INCI: Magnesium Hydroxide

Magnesium hydroxide brings exceptional benefits to natural deodorant recipes with its ultra-absorbent and skin-soothing properties. Often used in detoxifying bath products, this inorganic compound with the formulation Mg(OH)2 goes above and beyond to neutralize odor-causing bacteria when applied under arms. Microscopic molecules of magnesium hydroxide efficiently trap sweat and prevent it from reaching bacteria colony sites. Its natural alkalinity inhibits bacteria growth responsible for strong body odor. Sensitive skin types can rejoice as magnesium hydroxide creates a silky feel, calms inflammation and leaves delicate underarm areas smooth. Free from aluminum and parabens, magnesium hydroxide offers a safe alternative for unscented deodorant-making while keeping unpleasant scents at bay.

Magnesium Hydroxide is used as an additive in formulations and acts as an absorbent or as a pH adjuster. It is soluble in oil and slightly soluble in water. Magnesium Hydroxide Powder is recommended for use in bath products, shampoos, shaving products, skincare, and other general care items including deodorants.

The typical usage rate is .2-1.5% as a pH adjuster.

When used as an absorbent it can be used up to 30%
