    Hi B! I was looking at your deodorant recipe (baking soda free) and wanted to order the ingredients. Does is matter which magnesium powder is used? Amazon is showing me many different options and I wanted to check before ordering. Thank you!

    Any type will work, but magnesium oxide is typically more cost effective. Let me know how it works out for you! Keep it mind it’s very white when you apply it on, and after some time, you’ll need to remix it because the oil will separate. I’m going to try adding in an emulsifier to help it stay blended but just haven’t gotten around to trying it.

    Also remember that Magnesium oxide may be preferred here but not when taken orally!  B can confirm I’m sure!

     correct – oxide is not recommended for oral supplementation. Just for the deodorant recipe since it’s for topical use and more cost effective. Magnesium oxide taken orally can cause diarrhea and is very poorly absorbed.
