• Product unit sold: One piece of cut deodorant stone.
• Product properties: Potassium Alum deodorant stone is completely free of any harsh chemicals, oils, perfumes, alcohol, preservatives or aluminum chlorohydrate and it's non-staining. Use of natural deodorant stones is highly effective in naturally protecting against body odors. 99% of deodorant crystals use potassium alum, NOT aluminum.
• Directions: Lightly wet deodorant crystal stone and apply to the underarms and/or feet. For best results, use after bathing while the skin is still moist.
• Ingredients: Potassium Alum crystal
Please note:
ALUM and ALUMINUM
are two different substances, with distinct chemical signatures. Potassium alum molecules have a negative ionic charge, making it unable
to pass through the cell wall. The chemical formula for potassium alum is K2SO4AI2(SO4)324H2O.
Potassium alum is a colorless substance that forms octahedral or cubic
crystals. They are not absorbed by the cells therefore making them safe to use and will
not cause high levels of aluminum in your system. In the contrary, aluminum
compounds, (such as aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium both
very water soluble) are also used as an antiperspirant however they are
readily absorbed. While absorbed, the aluminum part of the molecule ionizes, forming free or radical aluminum
(Al3+) which passes freely across cell membranes and, when dissolved,
is selectively absorbed by liver, kidneys, brain and bone marrow, which
makes aluminum compounds not appropriate for use due to serious medical concerns.
Bauxite is the ore from which alum is drawn. It is formed by the rapid
weathering of granite rocks in warm, humid climates and can be purified
and converted directly into alum. Potassium alum is soluble in seven times its weight of water at room
temperature and is very soluble in hot water. When crystalline
potassium alum is heated, some of the water of hydration becomes
chemically separated, and the partly dehydrated salt dissolves in this
water, so that the alum appears to melt at about 90 degrees C, then potassium alum swells up, loses all water and becomes a
basic salt called burn alum.
