Amazon.com: Customer reviews: MAGSOL Natural Deodorant for Men & Women - Mens Deodorant with Magnesium - Perfect for Ultra Sensitive Skin, Aluminum Free Deodorant for Women, Baking Soda Free 3.2 oz (Sandalwood)

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2024

I've been using Magsol for several years now. I had been using another natural deodorant that had baking soda in it and it eventually gave me a rash. Magsol has never caused a skin reaction for me. It goes on well, especially if you keep the clear plastic cap on under the regular cap. Otherwise it can dry out a bit and doesn't glide as well.

The scents are wonderful! My long time favorite has been Jasmine, but I recently bought the Sandalwood for my husband only to find I loved the smell so much I kept it and bought him another one. :) Natural deodorant (or any kind of deodorant) won't keep you from perspiring. But Magsol does keep me fresh smelling all day. What I find if I work out is that eventually I can't smell the deodorant anymore but I also can't smell body odor. So I'm happy. Would recommend this for anyone who doesn't want to put harsh chemicals on their skin.

100% Natural - Made with only 4 ingredients, and it WORKS!

I was on a mission to find a Natural deodorant/antiperspirant that WORKS - without any "problems" . I am the type of person who has to alternate 3-4 different products, because it seems that one brand becomes ineffective if used daily. By the end of the day - I would smell like I hadn't showered for a week. I purchased 8 different brands that promised to prevent BO ( body odor), and tried them each out for 2 weeks. ( Suave, Crystal Mineral, Toms of Maine, Kaiame Naturals, Natural Goods, Organic 101, Schmidts, and MagSol). They all eliminated stinky armpits, but I began to get a rash - a fungal "rash" from the humidity trapped under the product after using them for 3-4 days. My doctor prescribed "Tinactin" antifungal to get rid of the rash. Yes - I had to use athletes foot cream on my armpits. I threw them away, and as a last ditch attempt, I ordered MagSol - to give it a try. Well - it's been 7 months now, and I feel I can give it an honest review. At first use - I wanted to put it to the test, so I did not shower for 3 days. This product kept me "odor free" AND dry for the whole 3 days - I smelled like I had been showering daily! It is a solid stick ( roll up), and has a mild orange scent. Since the first week of use - I found that I only had to use it every other day - it seems to keep on working even after showering. I AM SOLD! My medicine cabinet now has an empty shelf - I only need ONE product now. No more rotating 3-4 different brands. It is 100% all natural magnesium deodorant is made with only 4 ingredients - non-comedogenic sweet almond oil, pure food grade magnesium oxide, beeswax, and therapeutic grade essential oils, and made in the US. A bit sticky when you first put it on, but so is 90% of all the deodorants/antiperspirants. No biggie. After 7 months of use, my regular size MagSol appears to have enough left to last at least another 3 months.

I moved from a different Al-free deodorant to this one about four weeks ago. The previous one I used did not contain magnesium, smelled good, but on high-activity / sweaty days I was finding I needed to reapply mid-afternoon. This is not the case with MAGSOL. In fact, I have even missed an application and had it continue to work perfectly for (at least) 48 hours.

This is important: it did not seem to work perfectly at first. The first few days that I used MAGSOL, it would seem to wear off mid-afternoon just like my previous Al-free deo. But about a week in, I realized I had stopped reapplying it, even after a workout. I was sweating, but even the underlying pit smell seemed completely gone, not just covered up.

The catch is: I am a man with unshaven pits and this one does not glide as well as some others, but after some experimentation this is what I worked out (thought I should pass this on):

- It might not kill all smell on the first day (it didn't for me). Be patient, it seems to take a few days of applications before the magnesium kills off the bacteria enough to fully eliminate scent.
- The ingredients melt a little with body heat. So apply it slowly and it will glide better.
- If you have unshaven pits, use a bunch of small applications instead of trying to slather your pits in one large stroke. If you try to do it all at once, it will take hair with it, but smaller motions work a lot better.
- When applying after a shower, first towel off really well. It does not apply well to wet skin.
- You can use less than you think you need. After the first week or so, it seems to be a bit absorbed in your skin so you still need to apply it but not in a thick layer. A very thin layer is fine.

One point on the scent: I have the sandalwood version and it's not as "manly" as other sandalwood sticks I have tried, but I find it relatively mild and pleasant. Given how effectively it prevents BO, I'm fine with it being a somewhat neutral scent.

Works well for me and really like the sandalwood smell

I switched to aluminum free deodorant about a month to a month and half ago. This is the fourth or fifth brand I have tried. This one by far has been the best I have tried for aluminum free that is. I bought the sandalwood which has a very nice masculine smell, it has a very subtle smell and not very over powering but you can definitely smell it even though it is less of a smell then some of the store brands I have tried. I apply twice a day once in the morning and in the evening when I get out of the shower. The longevity of it seems to work well for me I have only noticed unpleasant pit smell if it has been 12 or 13 hours and I do get pretty sweaty with my job. I have not really had any irritation in my pits even though once in a while I do get a slight warm sensation after applying. I have tried using several brands that had baking soda in them but they were turning my pits a dark color, after using this for about a week my pits are back to normal color. Keep I mind this is not an antiperspirant so you will still sweat. A few other things to note if it irritates your skin do not apply right out of a warm shower wait 15 to 30 minutes to give time for your pours to close. If you are switching from aluminum to aluminum free it takes two to three weeks to detox your pits my first few days I did have bad smell but it got less and less so give it sometime. Everyone's body is different and have different pH so you may have to try four or five brands before you find a good fit. This one works great for me and I will be buying again it's a little on the pricey side but with I have noticed with deodorant you get what you pay for.

FINALLY!! Natural that REALLY works!!

Scent: SandalwoodVerified Purchase

I’m overjoyed to report that I’ve used the rose, lavender, lemongrass & sandalwood scents. They are ALL amazing, have resolved ALL odor issue (even stress, the yucky hormone change odor, & the toughest of workout odor), & is one of the few things on this plant that not only causes NO aggravation to my BEYOND sensitive lupus skin. I’ve also been able to decrease my magnesium supplements for restless limb & cramping muscles since using this wonderful deodorant!! I have a trash can full of previous natural products that just didn’t work all of the time or ANY of the time or ravaged my skin with rash reactions.

My boyfriend is even on board now. I told him I’m not dating a future Alzheimer’s patient caused by his aluminum poisoning deodorant-lol!! I’m SO happy with a great product & even more happy to support this entrepreneurial family who made a product to help their cancer patient husband/dad & are now sharing it with the rest of us!!
I hope to see this product on mainstream store shelves!! Wishing all the success to them & convenience to all of us!!

Also very important to note...your body will detox from chemicals in previous things you’ve used. It can take 4-6weeks to get rid of YEARS of deadly chemicals you’ve applied. It can be sticky & smelly. It is NOT from the deodorant. It’s nasty chemicals in your body getting out because this deodorant cleanses as well. Let your body cleanse. You can apply 1/2 strength apple cider vinegar for about an hour or so before a shower to help detox. An abundance of lymph nodes are in your armpit & excrete those toxins to get rid of them.

Also look at the toxic foods you consume & other chemical laden products you apply to your skin & hair. It seems a lot to consider but you can prevent the immune system disease that all of that caused me & arthritis & systemic allergies & inflammation that we don’t realize start with all of these awful chemicals that have labels that say “natural” & “fresh” & actually are full of deadly chemicals.

Also of note, someone said lemongrass smells like “weed”. FYI “weed” is a plant that has an herbal/plant smell. Lemongrass smells like the PLANT/essential oil that it is... lemongrass. If you don’t care for that natural (& very cleansing BTW) smell, rose may suit you better. As for the comment that sandalwood is strong, yes it’s SANDALWOOD & yes it’s often used for men as mentioned but is also great for women for that unique scent often used in the Middle East & in AMAZING fragrances. I find it lovely. You can even get creative & use rose AND sandalwood:)

As to price point, what is your health worth? Less than $20??? Wow! Your prescriptions later will be FAR more along with miserable health status! Save yourself BEFORE that happens! Trust me! You don’t want to live with the consequences as I do! That’s why I’m such a fan & promote this product!

Just how important is your health??

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR & BUY IT NOW!!

I used to use top end antiperspirants but eventually was awakened to the fact of all the chemicals and metals they contained that are harmful to your health. I also found that after a hard day of working outside or recreating, my armpits were soaked, shirts stained and I stunk! This was even with those unhealthy 72-hr protection claims. After a lot of research, I decided to try Magsol and was very skeptical that a natural deodorant would help. All I can say is I'm impressed with this product. I've been using for over two years now and I don't have anymore sweating/staining/ or odor problems. I truly believe the antiperspirants I used for years had clogged my pores under my arms. I feel like those areas have healed and are properly working. Occasionally, I feel a little "wet" in the area but not enough to stain my shirt and definitely, NO OBNOXIOUS ODER! Best part of it all is it's all natural ingredients and NO harmful metals/chemicals. This is the way to go!

I am so happy that I have found this brand. I have been using the jasmine one for a while now, and it has been amazing! My underarms are so incredibly sensitive that alcohol, aluminum, baking soda, etc. all irritate my skin. This paired with glycolic acid keeps my odor at bay. Not to mention, this single deodorant has lasted me about 4 months (sometimes I use it a couple of times per day). I think it is totally worth the money (look into purchasing it on the MAGSOL website, it can be cheaper). The ONLY negative thing I have to say about this deodorant is that the beeswax can be difficult to wash off in the shower.

I have tried all sorts of natural deodorant’s and nothing compares to MagSol. I’ve been using it once in the morning for the past 6 months. I’ve worked out with it and have never had a natural deodorant work so well through some high intensity workouts. I usually swipe on once before hand as a precaution. Recently, I went on a trip to a tropical island really put it to the test. I swiped once in the morning, and we were out the door at 7am. The day consisted of hiking, being cramped with a lot of people, sight seeing, and all the sunshine and sweat. I was a little nervous considering we were out all day. Throughout, I’d take a self conscious sniff and nothing but sandalwood. On our trip back to our hotel at 6 pm, another whiff and nothing but sandalwood. To say I’m impressed is an understatement. The sandalwood smell is really nice too. A little woodsy but true to the smell of sandalwood and doesn’t smell artificial. If you’re interested in smelling fresh naturally, definitely buy this product!
