Potassium Alum polished stone deodorant 150ml AlloNature

Origin of alum:
The word "alum" comes from the Latin "alumen," meaning "bitter." The properties of potassium alum have been known for several thousand years, and the name can be quoted in Egyptian papyri.

Over the centuries, it was used in different ways: wine growing, textile industry, clarification of liquids, cosmetics. Alum is naturally produced in many places by the reaction of sulphurous, aluminous and alkaline substances. It can be found easily in the Egyptian deserts and in a few areas of Bohemia and Saxony. It can also be formed through coal burning, and therefore can be found near volcanoes.

This naturally occurring mineral, the aluminium alum stone, contains many properties.

- After shaving this film will helps avoid the appearance of spots due to infections at the base of the hair.
