Alum Crystal Deodorant
Alum crystal blocks are the ultimate natural deodorant. Alum stone also makes a great natural aftershave, reducing the appearance of shaving burn, and stemming bleeding from shaving nicks. (Traditional barbers use Alum styptic) Did you know that Alum stone can also be used to relieve insect bites and reduce shaving rash? Volcanically formed Alum Deodorant Crystals should not be confused with factory made deodorants which often use inferior, sometimes harmful synthetic chemical ingredients. Alum Crystals are simply collected from the desert surface, placed in sacks and then shipped to the UK. Natural Alum Stone works as a deodorant by leaving a fine salty, slightly alkaline film on the skin, inhibiting the growth of microbes. It keeps the skin fresh and deodorized all day. It allows perspiration, one of the body's cleansing and interpersonal communication mechanisms, keeps the pores free, and does not stain clothing. The molecules are large and are not absorbed into the skin, plus the molecules have a negative charge, also keeping natural alum from entering the skin.
