Most natural deodorants handle odour with baking soda, which many people find irritating with daily use, and set the formula with beeswax, which can leave a tacky film or a hard wax that drags against hair and freshly shaved skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnesium hydroxide\u003c\/strong\u003e is a mild mineral that neutralizes odour.

Leaving out the beeswax is what keeps PIT STOP from feeling tacky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much should I use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout a pea-sized amount per underarm.

What should I expect?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou may notice more sweat for the first week or two, because your sweat glands are no longer being blocked. That's normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it mark my clothes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA thin layer, fully rubbed in, shouldn't.
