How We Formulated Our Deodorant Without Irritants
Finding a deodorant that actually works without irritating your skin can feel like an endless search. At MAGS Skin, we’ve been there. That’s why we created a natural deodorant for sensitive skin that’s gentle, effective, and totally free from common irritants. No more guessing games or red, itchy underarms. Just real results, backed by smart science and simple ingredients.
Why So Many Deodorants Cause Irritation
If your armpits burn, itch, or break out after using deodorant, you’re not alone. Many formulas use ingredients that are known to trigger reactions especially if you have sensitive or eczema-prone skin. Here are some of the biggest offenders:
- Aluminum: Often used in antiperspirants to block sweat. It can clog pores and disrupt your skin’s balance.
- Baking soda: A common ingredient in “natural” deodorants. It's alkaline, which can throw off your skin’s pH and lead to rashes.
- Fragrance: Whether synthetic or natural, fragrance is a top cause of allergic reactions and skin sensitivity.
That’s why we set out to make an irritant free deodorant that skips all the usual triggers. Our goal was simple: create the best deodorant for sensitive skin with ingredients that work with your skin not against it.
Step One: Choosing a Gentle Base
Most deodorants start with a base that holds everything together. We chose ingredients that are skin friendly and non-comedogenic (which means they won’t clog pores).
- Magnesium hydroxide: This gentle compound helps stop odor without irritating your skin. It balances pH and keeps odor-causing bacteria in check.
- Arrowroot powder: A soft, absorbent powder that helps keep you dry without drying you out.
- Coconut oil: Rich in fatty acids, it helps moisturize and soothe the skin while offering mild antibacterial support.
We left out talc, parabens, and alcohol. These are often hidden in conventional formulas and can be harsh on sensitive skin. Our base is smooth, breathable, and safe for daily use even if you're dealing with eczema or flare-ups.
Step Two: Saying No to Baking Soda
Baking soda might work for some people, but it’s one of the top complaints we heard from our community. It can cause stinging, redness, and even peeling especially on freshly shaved skin. So we left it out completely.
Instead, we use magnesium, which is just as effective at neutralizing odor but much gentler. This makes our formula a true baking soda free deodorant that won’t leave your underarms angry or inflamed.
Step Three: Keeping It Fragrance Free
You’ll never see “fragrance” on our label because you deserve to know exactly what you’re putting on your skin. Fragrance can hide hundreds of ingredients, many of which can trigger allergies or irritation.
That’s why our formula is a fragrance free deodorant. It’s completely unscented, with no essential oils or masking agents. Just clean ingredients that let your skin breathe.
Step Four: Testing for Sensitivity
We didn’t just remove the usual suspects. We also tested our formula with real people who have real skin issues. Some had eczema. Others had allergies or ultra-sensitive skin. We listened, took notes, and kept refining until we got it right.
The result is a hypoallergenic deodorant that’s safe for daily use even for those with the most reactive skin. No stinging, no redness, no mystery rashes. Just calm, happy underarms.
Why Aluminum-Free Matters
Our formula is an aluminum free deodorant, which means it doesn’t block your sweat glands. Sweat is natural. It helps regulate your temperature and remove toxins. What causes odor is when sweat mixes with bacteria on your skin.
So instead of blocking sweat, we target the bacteria that cause odor. That’s a smarter, skin-friendlier approach. You get all-day protection without messing with your body’s natural functions.
Clean, Non-Toxic, and Honest
We believe in transparency. You have a right to know what’s going on your skin. That’s why every ingredient in our formula is chosen for a reason and clearly listed on the label. No greenwashing. No gimmicks. Just a non toxic deodorant that works.
Here’s what you won’t find in our formula:
- No aluminum
- No baking soda
- No fragrance
- No alcohol
- No talc or phthalates
This makes MAGS Skin a top choice for anyone looking for a deodorant for eczema prone skin or a safe, skin friendly deodorant that delivers results without compromise.
What Makes MAGS Skin Different
We didn’t just want to make a “natural” deodorant. We wanted to make one that actually works for sensitive skin. That’s a big difference.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- Targeted odor control: We use magnesium to stop odor without irritating your skin.
- Minimalist formula: Fewer ingredients means fewer chances for a reaction.
- Tested by people, not just in labs: Our community helped shape the final product.
It’s not just about what we took out. It’s about what we left in and why.

FAQs
Is magnesium really better than baking soda?
Yes. Magnesium is gentler on your skin and still stops odor. Baking soda can mess with your skin’s pH and cause irritation.
Can I use this if I have eczema?
Absolutely. Our formula is a deodorant for eczema prone skin and was tested with people who have sensitive, reactive skin.
Will I still sweat?
Yes, but that’s a good thing. Our aluminum free deodorant doesn’t block sweat. It targets odor instead.
Why is fragrance free better?
Fragrance is a common irritant, even in “natural” products. Going fragrance free makes our deodorant safer for sensitive skin.
At MAGS Skin, we believe your deodorant should do more than just smell good. It should be safe, effective, and kind to your skin. That’s why we stripped away the junk and focused on what matters. If you’re looking for the best deodorant for sensitive skin, you just found it.
