Alum is a mineral that is found as a crystal in its natural state.
It comes from volcanic rock, known as Trachyte, and once processed is converted to potash (potassium) alum.
One of the main characteristics of the mineral alum is that it’s water soluble. As a result, our skin can benefit from its important antibacterial and pro- wound healing properties. It’s a completely natural deodorant, since the mineral alum has the capacity of destroying bacteria, which are the real culprits causing body odor. Besides effectively fighting off body odor, the mineral alum also lets your skin breathe.
