Magnesium Compounds in skincare

Magnesium compounds are used in natural deodorants, creams, sticks, and body milks for different reasons depending on the compound. In deodorant positioning, magnesium hydroxide is commonly discussed for odor-control support, while other magnesium salts can support mineral-forward body care stories.

Why it is used

  • Supports aluminum-free deodorant positioning.
  • Adds mineral-led language to night body milk and bath products.
  • Can contribute to formula pH and powdery texture.

Good to know

Deodorants are not antiperspirants unless regulated antiperspirant actives are used.

Magnesium materials can affect pH, texture, and skin feel.

Sensitive-skin positioning should be validated by finished-product testing.

Claim guardrail

For deodorant products, describe magnesium as odor-control positioning only when supported by the finished formula. Avoid antiperspirant or sweat-stopping claims.
