ORGANIC (EXTRA STRENGTH) NATURAL PROBIOTIC DEODORANT
Body odor (BO) is the result of bacterial activity producing odorous compounds. The skin microbiome, a
balanced ecosystem of beneficial “good” skin bacteria can prevent the growth of other, potentially harmful
microbes. Organic probiotic (extra strength) deodorant with magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2], sodium
bicarbonate, and non-nano ZnO. Magnesium (Mg) solutions can have antimicrobial properties, and not
be harmful to (body) tissue (Delbet, 1915), and can highly increase leukocyte activity and phagocytosis
(leukocytes, especially phagocytes, macrophages and neutrophils, can eliminate bacteria, viruses, and
other pathogens that can produce odors). Mg ions decrease adherence of bacteria to surfaces and impair
biofilm assembly. Antibacterial Mg(OH)2 is not acutely toxic, and is eco-friendly, an alternative to
alcohol, aluminum salt, and other ingredients that could be hazardous, irritating or ineffective. Clogged
sweat ducts can lead to acne, infection, irritation, and other skin issues; Mg(OH)2 can (directly) eliminate
bacteria, and is not likely to block pores/stifle surrounding skin. Mg(OH)2 is not absorbed through skin
according to The National Research Council, and can inhibit C-T lyase enyzme that converts S. hominis
into pungent thioalcohol without adversely impacting the dermis (sweat glands, pores, and hair follicles).
Coconut oil (CO) lauric acid inhibits bacteria growth by membrane disruption and induces ROS
production, magnifying the outgrowth inhibition effect on spores; [LA is converted in the body into
monolaurin with (up to 200x more effectual, Schlievert, 2012) antimicrobial activity against bacteria/
viruses, destroying bacteria lipid membranes; inhibiting bacterial growth, reducing the hydrophobicity of
bacterial cells and preventing attachment of bacterial cells reduces exotoxin/forming biofilms. CO capric
acid helps control odor by reducing the source of odor-causing bacteria. Arrowroot powder absorbs
moisture and oils, and inhibits the growth of microbes. NaHCO3 loosens debris and dissolves mucus,
prevents acidophilic bacteria overgrowth, and can inhibit cysteine-thiol lyase by affecting the pH and
altering the reactivity of the thiol group in cysteine, essential for the catalytic function of the enzyme to
convert Staphylococcus hominis into pungent thioalcohol. Antimicrobial, astringent ZnO can disrupt
odor-causing bacteria and shrink pores for less perspiration, absorbs excess sebum that helps with acne
and keeps skin dry. Kaolin deep cleansing and exfoliating unclogs pores, absorbs excess sebum without
stripping skin of natural oils, leaving skin nourished, glowing, looking balanced. Anti-inflammatory,
antimicrobial, antioxidant (1-2% vitamin E) jojoba oil (JO) (see note below) can heal, moisturize, and
soothe. JO emollient gondoic acid lubricates/moisturizes/protects skin. Absorbed easily by skin, noncomedogenic, regulates sebum/prevents breakouts. Lactobacillus ferment acidifies its environment, inhibits
the growth of pathogenic bacteria by competing for nutrients, and by producing bacteriocins and other
antimicrobials; it may prevent C-T lyase enyzme from converting S. hominis into pungent thioalcohol.
Not an antiperspirant, pores not blocked by aluminum salts, the body can naturally cool itself by sweating.
How to use: it goes on white, rub it in throughly to avoid the white color from transferring to clothing.
A few swipes underarms (only) will provide up to 48 hours of odor fighting protection.

Notes: Benefits of jojoba oil in transdermal delivery and its ability to improve passive skin permeation of topical lipophilic actives rapidly and
accurately. Studies show an increase in permeation was nearly 40-fold compared to a similar formulation without jojoba oil. A detox period,
extreme stinky-ness or staining in the armpit area of clothing may occur when transitioning to a deodorant that does not contain aluminum.
