If you have sensitive, dry skin, a skincare product with Magnesium Hydroxide as an ingredient can help soften and protect the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAcidity in balance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith a pH of 10.3, Magnesium Hydroxide is an alkaline product, which can balance a DIY care product with many acidic ingredients. Magnesium Hydroxide increases acidity, making your product more suitable for people with sensitive skin that is easily irritated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKeeps your products dry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMagnesium Hydroxide molecules absorb water molecules, in other words: the molecules absorb moisture. By incorporating Magnesium Hydroxide into DIY powder products, such as powder deodorant, foundation or eyeshadow, you prevent your product from clumping. Your product retains its fine structure, making it easy and smooth to apply to the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEvens out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMagnesium Hydroxide makes products less transparent and gives them opaque properties. In particular, products that are intended to even out the skin and mask skin imperfections often contain Magnesium Hydroxide. Think of foundation, concealer or eyeshadow. The great thing is that Magnesium Hydroxide makes your product less transparent, but not thicker: the texture of your product remains more or less the same and your product does not feel heavy on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCamouflages odors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMagnesium Hydroxide neutralizes body odors and in combination with ingredients such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalheroes.nl\/products\/arrowroot-poeder-biologisch\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eArrowroot Powder\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalheroes.nl\/products\/shea-butter\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eShea Butter\u003c\/a\u003e en \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalheroes.nl\/products\/kokosolie-biologisch-extra-vergine\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCoconut oil\u003c\/a\u003e Magnesium Hydroxide can keep you smelling fresh for a long time without irritating the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow do you use it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProcess Magnesium Hydroxide in skin care products such as DIY deodorant, day cream or body lotion. It is not recommended to use Magnesium Hydroxide undiluted on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat is so special about it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMagnesium Hydroxide is a completely natural product with many beneficial properties. Initially, it was widely used in the cosmetics industry for its moisture-absorbing properties, but more and more benefits of magnesium hydroxide are being discovered. You will therefore increasingly come across it as an ingredient in natural care products, such as deodorant or day cream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epH value of Magnesium hydroxide \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-guid=\"5a4be4e2-6ccb-48e7-8ce3-99bbf3fee125\"\u003eMagnesium hydroxide is often used as a substitute for baking soda in deodorant. Like baking soda, it has a basic pH (about 10). However, it works in a different way on the skin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-guid=\"736ed78f-ebf5-4b1e-8866-8fc89b7710ef\"\u003eMagnesium hydroxide hardly dissolves in water. This means that it stays on the skin as a protective powder layer and is less likely to react with moisture or oils. As a result, the pH of the skin changes less strongly than with baking soda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-guid=\"d17c6750-308a-445a-bb6c-f915e2271ce0\"\u003eMagnesium hydroxide has a larger particle size than baking soda. As a result, it penetrates the skin less quickly and stays more on the surface of the skin. This helps to minimize skin irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-guid=\"825ff6c2-0bd6-42e7-9bdd-91730abe747a\"\u003eInstead of drastically deacidifying the skin, magnesium hydroxide works by neutralizing odors. It captures acids and bacteria without disturbing the natural balance of the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-guid=\"a379d3c2-616d-4894-a86a-726b3bfbc3b9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThen, What is the difference with Baking Soda?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\" data-guid=\"f7055419-7e5b-4dec-86e9-334c7d4a910d\"\u003eBaking soda has a pH level of about 8-9, which is also much higher than the pH of the skin. When baking soda is used in a deodorant, it is usually added as a fine powder and does not dissolve completely in a formula without water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-guid=\"d9516f50-70c6-47da-91a9-43aaf9b6ce74\"\u003eHowever, as soon as baking soda comes into contact with moisture, such as sweat or natural oils on the skin, a small reaction occurs. This locally increases the pH on the skin, which can lead to dry skin, irritation and damage to the skin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-guid=\"4a41a809-0dcb-4bfb-884e-ddcf9c764523\"\u003eBaking soda usually has a smaller particle size, which makes it easier for it to penetrate the skin. This can increase irritation, especially in people with sensitive skin.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Natural Heroes","offers":[{"title":"100 gram","offer_id":53165528154455,"sku":"MAHY-NH-1","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 gram","offer_id":53165528187223,"sku":"MAHY-NH-2","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/5214\/4215\/files\/836-pouch-250-1KSQ-sRGB.png?v=1774934763","url":"https:\/\/alhalalcosmetics.nl\/en-us\/products\/magnesium-hydroxide-food-grade","provider":"Halal Cosmetics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
