Magnolia bark extract and farnesol have shown antibacterial and antimicrobial properties 1,2,3 which aid in this deodorant to keep you fresh through the day. While the blend of zinc oxide, vitamin E, sweet almond oil, and grapeseed oil is very effective at soothing, protecting, and moisturizing your skin.
