Like it but don’t love it
The smell is nice and it works decently but I have noticed white marks on my shirts as well as it being a bit difficult to apply. My house is on the colder side right now and it’s very firm.

Hi Madison W.,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about our Apricot Blossom Magnesium Deodorant. We're glad to hear you're enjoying the scent and finding it effective, though we understand your concerns about the application and clothing marks.
The firmness you're experiencing is actually quite common during colder months, as the natural ingredients in our formula can become more firm at lower temperatures. A helpful tip is to hold the deodorant against your skin for a few seconds before applying—your body heat will help soften it for a smoother application. You might also find it easier to warm the product between your fingers and apply it that way.
Regarding the white marks, deodorants made with magnesium hydroxide can sometimes leave white marks, especially if too much is applied or if it hasn’t had time to fully absorb before getting dressed. This can happen because of ingredients like magnesium hydroxide and arrowroot powder, which are both naturally light in color.
To minimize any residue, we recommend applying just a thin, even layer and allowing a few moments for it to absorb before putting on clothing. A little goes a long way with our formula!
We truly appreciate your honest feedback—it helps us understand how our products perform in real-world situations and helps other customers make informed decisions. If you'd like any additional tips or have other questions, our team is always here to help at info@bendsoap.com.
