Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Magnesium Hydroxide is a powerhouse additive for natural, aluminum-free products:
Benefits:
- Has effective oil-absorbent properties, binding the oil on the skin and from inside the pore lining
- Popular as a filler and texturizer
- Used to neutralize acids (pH < 7.0) slowly. Cannot increase the pH further in products with a pH value greater than 7.0.
Use: Typical use level is 0.2-1.5% when used as a pH adjuster. When used as an absorbent, filler or texturizer, it can be used at up to 30%.
For external use only.
It is recommended for use in deodorants, bath products, shampoos, shaving products, skincare, and other general care items.
- Natural Deodorants: Absorbs moisture and neutralizes odours by reacting with sweat acids—ideal for bar or cream deodorants. Combine with arrowroot powder, baking soda, and essential oils for a gentle, effective formula.
- Skincare & Lotions: Use as a pH adjuster to balance acidic ingredients, or as an opacifier to give creams a matte finish. Great for face masks, body powders, or anti-irritant balms.
- Fine enough to be used in tallow products without feeling gritty
- Other Applications: In advanced soap-making, it can modify texture or act as a filler in cold-process recipes (note: not a substitute for lye).
- GMO-free
- Not tested on animals
- Shelf life 1 year
- Country of origin is USA

Haven’t used yet but bought for making deodorant. I’m surprised I found it, especially so close to home. And delivery was quick!
Hi Cindy, we're happy you found us! We definitely needed to stock this for all those that want to make deodorant without baking soda. Thank you for the review!
