I use Milk of Magnesia as deodorant as well. I tried pharmaceutical grade baking soda which is a very fine powered form with coconut oil in the past and even that caused painful red rashes under my arms and even cuts because the baking soda is crystals and crystals have sharp tips that cut and irritate the skin. MOM is smooth and gentle. It has never caused any harm to my skin and I have been using MOM for several years. The only thing it does not do is stop the sweat, but it does stop odor. I just shake it up and put it on before dressing. It dries quickly so if you put on your underwear, pants, and socks before your shirt, it should be dry and you should not get white smears on your clothes, at least I do not.Replied By Alan (Mexico City) on 09/12/2017
Plain lime is the best for underarm odors .....
