Review: Awesome deodorant! - This stuff works really well as a deodorant. It is the best I have ever tried. You put a tiny amount in the palm in your hand maybe the size of a nickel and apply a little under each arm. Give it a minute or two to dry. It does not leave stains on clothes, I plan to see if I have an empty roll-on container that I can place this in or get a small jar with a scre top lid so I can carry a small amount. I had recently ordered a 3 pk of natural deodorant and I really was hoping it would work. I had tried more than one store-bought natural deodorant was not really impressed. I would make my own and they last a while and then I’d have to reapply them within a couple hours. I had read that milk of magnesia could be used under the arms. I was like what? I tried the sniff test several times no odor. After 24 hours still no odor. Two hours later very faint odor. In the past, I made my own homemade deodorant, but that only only lasted so long also. I then had my girlfriend’s boyfriend try it. Turned out he was using the same natural deodorant and having to reapply it often 24 hours later I asked him how’s it going and he said still no odor and he had not put new deodorant on. I used Phillips milk of magnesia. Just make sure you get an original and unscented milk of magnesia. I’m sure there’s different brands. do your own research and check ingredients.
Review: Just like what you would get from the superstore - Just like what you would get from the superstore. I hope you found this review helpful, if so vote yes. My Star Ratings (with desertcart Ratings in parenthesis): 1 Star (I hate it!) : The lowest score possible. Definitely not worth the money and time and effort! should only use this when the product really does not reflect the product listing. If there are any positives at all to the product or its use, you should not give it 1 star. 2 Stars (I don't like it.): The product is not exactly as described, either appearance-wise or functionally. The product may still be usable but it’s very different to what was described. The product may have a few faults. I'm not a fan of this item as it is no where close to my expectations and I won't order it again, but I can imagine a few others might find it functional as it has at least one positive quality. 3 Stars (It's okay): This item has both positive and negative qualities. I can definitely see some people loving or liking it as it may work for them, but I would likely not purchase in future. While you might think a 3-star score equates to average, 3 stars counts against the product as a negative score. So if you’re not meaning to give it a negative score, rethink your 3-star rating! 4 Stars (I like it): The product is as described and functions well. There may be a few minor issues, but all in all, the product is solid. This item arrived and functions as advertised. I would change a few things about this, but is a good product overall. I would use this item. 5 Stars (I love it!): This item is AWESOME. I will use it and recommend it to others! I just LOVE it! It works as advertised and is an all-around great product. product is amazing! You love it! This is the highest of the highs. If you would recommend it to your friends, family — it’s definitely a 5-star score. Be unbiased here; if the product is exactly as described and meets expectations, but the product isn’t your personal favorite, it could still be 5 stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic product. Same original formula.
*by T***S on September 24, 2011*

This is one very amazing product. It is the same formula that my mother grew up with. I use it nowadays as a deodorant. Yes it can be used that way and works great. People used to use various things when deodorant companies didn't exist. Magnesium is good for the body. It is a catalyst for activating enzymes in the body. I know one person who uses this and is in her 80's. She is really sharp on the memory and better in thinking fast than people half her age. I think her magnesium "deodorant" is helping her. I find this works for leg spasms and just to enhance my body's need for magnesium. If you read books about magnesium and how incredible it is, you'll find it aids with asthma and anything related to inflammation, etc. When you put this on your skin, your skin will absorb what it needs. You then just wash the white stuff left on your skin with plain water. The company does not advocate this, I just experimented and discovered what an economical easy way to get magnesium into your body. It is plain magnesium. Drinking it is for constipation and yes it will help that but what I am talking about is using it externally and boy does it have some serious magic to it. Take a look at books that talk about the power of magnesium or what low levels of magnesium can do to the body. Raise the magnesium level on your body and suddenly problems you have been dealing with are suddenly not so challenging. It is very interesting stuff and even more amazing that this product helps with magnesium shortages. I started out trying it as a deodorant and then realized it could help my leg spasms that I got at times. I sleep so much better since starting this idea. One caution though, use it in the morning and not at night. It will keep you awake at night if you hit yourself with it then. After exercising, hit your legs with this stuff. Just try it for a day or two and see what it does for you. Amazing stuff. Highly recommended.
