A Few Facts About Crystal Deodorant

By Alan Baker

The public these days is becoming more and more aware of the possible incriminating facts about traditional deodorants and the part that they may play in causing breast cancer or Alzheimer's, and as a result of this awareness, the public is looking for alternative means for odor control in a deodorant product. A crystal deodorant is becoming talked about more often as a viable alternative and many people are switching over with very positive results.

A crystal deodorant is simply a natural stone composed of potassium alum, which is a naturally occurring mineral and is not absorbed by skin or the bloodstream. The stones are free from synthetic ammonium, which may cause allergic reactions in some people, and can be distinguished from synthetic stones by the fact that they will break into irregular pieces when broken.

The naturally occurring crystal deodorant can be rubbed on wet skin, or dampened first by a wet cloth; and will form a thin layer on the skin by leaving a fine, salty, alkaline residue that will prevent the growth of bacteria; when the bacteria are eliminated, there is no odor. The great thing about this is that the pores in the skin are not blocked so you don't risk skin problems, and the skin can perspire freely----which is the way nature designed our bodily A/C system.

The desert is the primary place where potassium alum is found on the planet, and the crystals are there in huge amounts. With alum being the third most common mineral found on the earth, there is a huge supply of this crystal deodorant material to be found, and it is simply bagged up and shipped out to the companies that produce the deodorant sticks.

Even though some folks think that the price of crystal deodorant sticks is a little too high, just do the math here and see that even though they are priced higher than the traditional deodorants, they last so much longer----sometimes one stick will last over a year with daily use----that you are saving money in the long run. The sticks have no toxic material or toxins in them, and do not produce any toxic effects when used on the skin as directed. They can be purchased in any of the health food stores, or in any of the shops that sell and promote naturally grown and produced foodstuffs and products.

Crystal deodorant sticks have many natural benefits that come with them simply because of their makeup; they are astringent, non-toxic, and mildly antiseptic; usually have no scent, contain no harsh chemicals, and are hypo-allergenic. They are easy to use, store remarkably well, last for ages; and not only can they be used for underarm odor control, but also when applied to the feet, can be used to control foot odor.

If you are looking for something to control underarm odor and you are turned off on regular deodorants because of the fact that they are loaded with chemicals and their anti-odor action quite often contains products that block the pores of the skin; then the natural crystal deodorant sticks may be just the ticket to solving your dilemma. These mineral products are a natural way to control odor without hindering the body's natural functions, and will save you a goodly amount of money in the long run over the years.
