Frequently Asked Questions
Is magnesium hydroxide safe for sensitive skin?
Yes — cosmetic-grade, non-irritating, and TGA-compliant. Much milder than baking soda for sensitive skin.
How does it differ from baking soda in deodorants?
Mg(OH)₂ has a higher pH (~10) and neutralises odour more gently without causing rashes common with sodium bicarbonate (pH 8.3).
What’s the recommended usage rate?
10–20% in deodorants; 2–5% in creams. Disperse in the oil phase or add post-emulsion.
Can it be used in soap or toothpaste?
Yes — 3–5% in cold process soap for pH balance; 5–10% in toothpaste for gentle abrasion and whitening.
Does it ship across Australia?
Yes — standard delivery Australia-wide.
How to store in humid climates?
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place. In QLD/NT, use an airtight jar with silica gel to prevent clumping.
