Crystal salt is present in almost everything. It is present in our water, in most foods we consume, and in the air. Crystal salt comes from alum which is one of the most plentiful elements in the world. It has been here since creation.
All natural deodorant crystals are mineral based that contain potassium and alum molecules. These elements are not absorbed through the bloodstream like that of most aluminum based antiperspirants.
Just to clarify, crystal salt deodorant is derived from alum. This should not be confused with aluminum that is under controversy as an ingredient in antiperspirants. Alum is a natural salt that comes directly from the earth.
Most deodorants contain harmful chemical additives and other ingredients that are unhealthy to the body. Crystal deodorants are composed of natural minerals.
These deodorants do not stop perspiration; they work to prevent odors caused by bacteria build up. The crystal is not a antiperspirant; the salts mask odor and neutralize bad smells. The crystals form a barrier on the skin so that bacteria formation does not occur. Antiperspirants on the other hand inhibit sweat glands from producing moisture thus altering the body’s physiology. Antiperspirants are considered drugs because of this reason.
The crystal deodorant can be applied anywhere you choose and does not have to be limited to the under arms. You can apply it to your chest, feet, elbows, whichever area is problematic for you.
Another benefit of natural crystal deodorant is that a single stick of crystal deodorant can last up to a year long. Single application to the underarms will last all day and there is no need to reapply during the day.
There are no additives or chemical compounds and alcohol found in crystal natural deodorants. They are biodegradable and the same ingredients in crystal deodorant sticks are often found in our water.
