Magnesium Hydroxide

MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE

Magnesium Hydroxide occurs when the elements Magnesium, Oxygen and Hydrogen combine, forming a naturally derived mineral compound known for its gentle yet effective properties. Widely used in personal care formulations, it is valued for its ability to support odour control, balance pH, and soothe sensitive skin.

Refined into an ultra-fine, cosmetic-grade powder, Magnesium Hydroxide is ideal for formulators looking to create natural, skin-friendly products. Unlike more reactive ingredients, it works gradually on the skin, helping to neutralise odour-causing bacteria while maintaining comfort and minimising irritation.

Used across a range of applications, Magnesium Hydroxide is commonly incorporated into natural deodorants, creams, soaps, and toothpaste. Whether used in small batches or large-scale production, it offers a versatile and reliable solution for creating effective, aluminium-free and sensitive-skin-friendly products.
