Deodorant vs Antiperspirant
Deodorants do not stop the flow of sweat from the pores but simply disinfects, therefore masking and cleansing our sweat from the nasty smelling odour. Antiperspirant on the other hand will block your pores and skin from breathing acting like a drug. As a deodorant Alum Stone allows your skin to breathe naturally without clogging your pores and neutralizing body odour.
Choice Australia asserts ‘Deodorant crystals are a popular alternative among the anti-aluminium set. They contain alum, an astringent that may help reduce perspiration by shrinking or constricting pores, and may also have antibacterial properties.’
AUTHENTIC ALUM STONE OR NOT
With many synthetic copies be sure to look for an opaque and veined appearance in your deodorant crystal. The vast majority of mineral deposits reside in Morocco, Panama and Syria. Alum Stone from China or Thailand are likely to be man made so be careful and remember to check the origin of your crystal before buying.
