MAGNESIUM (2 types)
Nicely Natural's formula contains magnesium alba (Magnesium Oxide) and magnesium hydroxide: one to absorb moisture, the other to fight odor-causing bacteria, and to balance your body’s natural pH. No blocking pores here!
Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium Oxide is a substance composed from one molecule of magnesium and one molecule of oxygen. It is a fine white powder with dull luster, which has the ability to attract water molecules. As a result the ingredient has the ability to absorb and hold а lot of moisture, and is effective in personal care as it minimizes odor caused by excessive perspiration.
Magnesium oxide also protects the skin from free radicals and inflammation. When applied topically, a small amount of magnesium can be absorbed into the skin, which results in reduced inflammation.
Magnesium Hydroxide
Magnesium Hydroxide (also in the form of Milk of Magnesia), has the ability to kill odor-causing bacteria, without blocking pores or causing skin damage in the armpit area. It works with the sweat to slowly balance the natural pH level of the skin, giving it time to adjust without getting irritated. It is not water soluble and lasts long to keep you protected all day.
