    Thank you for replying.

    Yes, I don’t use BS, it was just informative. I’ve been using magnesium oxide and I’ll tell you that I’ve liked the results. as I was looking for something that wasn’t like aluminium, I found the change interesting. I even used 3 different test deodorants to see and compare their use, but they contained more or less the same things. I looked at the ingredients on the label of one of them and saw that it used this list below.

    At first I thought he was using Trietil so that when the magnesium oxide wore off it could have a secondary effect, but I’ve been looking and I’ve also seen it elsewhere, and even something you said about it being used as an emollient. so I thought I’d switch to zinc ricinoleate and use two other vegetable oils that are more geared towards this part of the odor that I’ve seen some studies on. However, the real problem is the amount of magnesium oxide that I’ve seen on the internet. I’ve seen information that they usually use between 5 and 15%. and that it’s not really possible to use it. if you look at the list and get an idea of the amount and secondly from what they say in some documents on the net. that’s why I tried less than 1% to see. because if I use less than 1%, according to the list it can be placed anywhere in the list. however, I lose effectiveness of 48h+. and I can’t find a balance even by increasing the emollients to calm the skin. and this one even uses citrate, and yes it works well for this odor issue, at least it worked well for me.
