A Few Facts About Crystal Deodorant | Lifestyle

by AlanBaker

In today's modern society, we are all aware of underarm deodorant products and most all of us use them in one way or another, but there is a growing awareness of the increase in breast cancer and in Alzheimer's disease, and many people feel there is a connection between the diseases and our insistence on smelling good and using these chemically loaded deodorants. If you are looking for an alternative method of underarm odor control, then you should look into a crystal deodorant stick.

The third most common mineral on the planet Earth is potassium alum; and this mineral is the source from which crystal deodorant sticks are manufactured. It is a natural occurring mineral found in the desert, and can be distinguished from synthetic chemical imitators by the fact that pure potassium alum will break into irregular bits and pieces when broken, whereas synthetic crystal deodorant sticks will not. The mineral will not absorb through the skin nor into the bloodstream, and is free from synthetic ammonium giving them the properties of being tolerated exceedingly well with no toxic reactions to their use.

When using a crystal deodorant stick, you will find that one of the best things about it is the fact that the mineral is not absorbed by the skin when applied, but rather forms a thin film or layer on the skin that is salty and alkaline in nature. Bacterial growth is prevented by this film, and when the bacteria are inhibited in their growth, there is then no odor produced, because it is the bacteria on the skin that cause the odor. To apply the crystal mineral, you must either wet the skin first, or dampen the crystal stick with a wet cloth so the surface is damp and can be rubbed on to the skin. The pores of the skin are not blocked at all, and the skin is allowed to perspire freely.

Potassium alum is found primarily in the desert, and does occur there in great amounts. In order for the companies that produce the crystal deodorant sticks to get the product they need, large amounts of the mineral are scooped up off the desert floor, bagged up, and shipped out to be processed. Some companies use the mineral in its natural state, others add scents to it.

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.

A crystal deodorant stick made up of potassium alum may do just the trick for you if you are looking for something to control underarm odor, and you do not like the idea of using traditional underarm products because they not only block the pore action of the skin, but they are loaded with all kinds of synthetic chemicals that may be detrimental to your overall health. These sticks will provide the odor controlling action you are looking for, as well as save you money over the years.
