THE HISTORY OF MINERAL SALTS AND ALUM

Alum is a completely natural mineral salt derived from the earth. It is a naturally occurring compound and one of the most abundant substances on earth, just behind oxygen and silicon. Alum literally is present all around us… It’s in the air we breathe, the water we drink, foods we eat and is one of the basic building blocks of our environment. This form of natural deodorant has been used in the health and nutrition industry for over 20 years and similar natural commodities have been used in Europe and Asia for centuries. Make no mistake; Alum is a natural compound compared to most conventional deodorants/antiperspirants which contain potentially harmful processed aluminums (aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium).

UNDERSTANDING DEODORANTS AND ANTIPERSPIRANTS

Most people think antiperspirants and deodorants are the same thing, but they are not. Deodorants are considered a cosmetic product while antiperspirants are regulated by the FDA because they are classified as a drug due to the effect they have on the body. Antiperspirants work by clogging, closing, or blocking the pores with powerful aluminum chemicals so that they can not release sweat. Deodorants work by neutralizing the smell of the sweat and by antiseptic action against bacteria. Deodorants are preferable because they don’t interfere with sweating, a natural cooling process.

Consumer advocacy groups continue to voice concerns over questions regarding common health and beauty products, including deodorant and antiperspirant. Certain studies indicate potential health risks associated with aluminum compounds found in many antiperspirants. Similar studies find like-risks with parabens found in some deodorants. Both have been somewhat linked to serious illnesses, including breast cancer.

CRYSTAL DEODORANTS AND HOW THEY WORK

ASFAND SALTS Deodorant Crystals are made of mineral salts which are pure and natural, fragrance free, non-staining and provide up to 24-hour, hypoallergenic protection against body and foot odor. Being in salt, and not in metal form, the crystal deodorant contains no harmful aluminums that can clog pores. Unlike antiperspirants, mineral salts allow the natural process of perspiration, rather than trying to mask your bodily smells.

You may ask yourself, if mineral salts do not cover up odor, then how are they effective? Well regarding the solid stones, to apply, wet the crystal and rub it on areas you wish to deodorize. The salt molecules provide a barrier of protection against odor causing bacteria from forming. The salt deposits stay on your skin, raising the PH level and stop bacteria in its tracks. The salt on your skin reduces the moisture on the areas where it has been applied which leaves you with a non-sticky, fresh and clean feeling throughout the day.

THE ALUMINUM ISSUE

Aluminum compounds are abundant in our environment. They are found in most foods and drinking water. Many people and doctors have concerns with respect to the processed aluminum found in conventional deodorants. Technically speaking, aluminum is a metal while Alum is a compound. Aluminum Chlorohydrate is a chemical neurotoxin used in most consumer deodorants and antiperspirants that can cause allergic reactions. These harmful processed aluminums have very small molecules which can clog pours and penetrate the skin and end up in the bloodstream. Alum, on the other hand, is naturally occurring and not processed. The benefit of using alum is that it contains large molecules which do not penetrate the body or bloodstream.
