Fragrance-Free & Baking Soda-Free: How MAGS Skin Prevents Irritation

If you’ve ever felt a burning sensation after applying deodorant, or noticed red, itchy underarms that just won’t calm down, it’s probably not random.

A lot of deodorants, even the “natural” ones, include ingredients that trigger irritation. Two of the biggest culprits: fragrance and baking soda.

That’s why MAGS Skin is both fragrance-free and baking soda-free; and why it ACTUALLY works for people with sensitive skin, eczema, or recurring rashes.


Why MAGS Skin Has No Fragrance
Most deodorants rely on fragrance to mask odor. But “fragrance” is often a generic term that can include hundreds of hidden chemicals, many of which are allergens or irritants, especially for sensitive skin.

Fragrance can cause:

  • Itching or burning after application
  • Redness or flare-ups (especially with eczema or psoriasis)
  • Reactions that build over time with repeated use

MAGS Skin skips fragrance altogether.

No essential oils. No synthetic scent. Just clean, neutral-smelling freshness that lets your skin breathe.

Why MAGS Skin Doesn’t Use Baking Soda Either
Baking soda is a common ingredient in “natural” deodorants, but it’s very alkaline and can throw off your skin’s natural pH. That often leads to:

  • Burning or stinging
  • Dryness or peeling
  • Rashes or discoloration under the arms

If you’ve ever had a bad reaction to a natural deodorant, baking soda was probably to blame.

MAGS Skin uses magnesium instead.

It gently neutralizes odor-causing bacteria without throwing off your pH or irritating your skin barrier.
