Natural Mineral Deodorant

A roll-on deodorant built around magnesium hydroxide and arrowroot starch (maranta arundinacea) — no aluminum, no talc, no baking soda. The full ingredient list is short: distilled water, magnesium hydroxide, arrowroot starch, and essential oils (omitted in the Fragrance Free version). Made in small batches by Powered by People; country of manufacture is not disclosed by the vendor, which is worth noting.

The 3 oz plastic roll-on bottle is not accepted in most curbside recycling programs — check your local program before assuming otherwise. When the product is used up, the bottle will likely go to landfill. The honest trade-off: magnesium hydroxide controls odor for many people but is not an antiperspirant and may not perform the same as aluminum-based products during high-activity days.
