"Would this product be able to be used to replace magnesium chloride ? I want to make an anhydrous magnesium butter so I wouldn't be able to go the normal route of dissolving mag chl in water. I was hoping this could work as a magnesium replacement since it can be dissolved in oil. Does magnesium hydroxide have the same benefits? (helping with restless leg syndrome etc.)"

"Amazing in deodorant"

COMMENTS: I use this product exclusively in my organic deodorant instead of baking soda. I have been purchasing the same ingredient from other sources and wow am I happy I switched! Great consistency, bulk size bag, finished product comes out the same every batch. Note- I use an immursion blender stick to help break up any clumps that may form.

"The perfect ingredient for deodorant!"

COMMENTS: This stuff is perfect for my deodorant. It has no scent, the powder adds to a better, drier texture to the deodorant, and well...it works! Just be careful when scooping it out of the bag--it's very easy to spill because it's powder.

"Great for deodorant"

COMMENTS: I'm using it as the main active ingredient on a deodorant formula and it works! It will probably be even more efficient at BO control in combination with zinc ricinoleate. Love the price of this material.
