Why Put Aluminum in your Armpit When You Could Use MoM?

Save 15% on any of our 2 oz. MoM (Milk of Magnesia) deodorants. Why do people prefer magnesium to aluminum? Use Discount Code: NewUser

It’s the sweating season! It will only get worse as the summer progresses. Chances are good you will be using an antiperspirant with one of those unpronounceable chemicals like Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex GLY or Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrex GLY. We won’t bore you with reasons to avoid aluminum. We have written about this before. New Users of MoM deodorants can save 15% by using the discount code NewUser.

Why Do People Use MoM Deodorant?

Do you remember reading that sunscreen ingredients are absorbed through the skin? The FDA published shocking findings that sunscreen gets under your skin (JAMA, Jan. 21, 2020). It took the FDA decades to discover this.

Sadly, the agency hasn’t required similar studies about ingredients in antiperspirants. We are concerned about the potential toxicity of aluminum in your armpit. If you’ve given up your aluminum pots and pans, why are you still putting it in your pits? Why not use MoM (with magnesium) instead?

What Do People Say About MoM?

Here are some testimonials from satisfied customers:

Anne gives our aluminum-free deodorants 5 stars:

“I have used your MoM deodorant for the past couple of years and am very happy with it. Before that I made my own plain Milk of Magnesia deodorant, pouring the product into glass roll-on bottles I’d purchased – it was good, but yours is better!! I have just tried the men’s fragrance and find it pleasing and appropriate for women too – the light, herbal scent is not heavy. Thank you for offering these products.”

Linda likes the unscented MoM:

“I am allergic to every aluminum product I have ever tried. This keeps the odor away with no itching. I am very pleased. Well worth the price. Glad it is odor free.”

Beverly agrees with Linda:

“Very happy with purchase of the unscented MOM. I can work out and sweat without fear of alienating everyone around me. Will be purchasing again.”

Evelin says MoM is great! She likes the one scented for men.

“I like MoM very much. It has a pleasant, fresh scent and it stays fresh for at least 24 hours. I bought it for my husband, but I am keeping it.”

Mari agrees:

“This is truly a great product. MoM for men works best of all. The fragrance is mild and not overpowering. I’m so happy I found it. Thank you for stocking it!”

Women’s MoM has fans too. Here’s Pamela’s comment:

“I’ve been using this product both scented and unscented for a couple of years. No irritation, no odor–works great. I love that it is aluminum free. I do prefer the scented variety but I’ll buy whichever is on sale! I actually like the fact that it is a “wet” roll-on. I’m old enough to remember when that was all that was available.”

T.W. says it’s great for sensitive skin:

“I would use it even if I did not have sensitive skin! Why? IT WORKS and this is the easiest, quickest way to apply it!”
