Historically used in the past for medicinal purposes, this astringent 100% natural Alum Stone is particularly effective as an non-pore blocking anti-persperant deodorant crystal, as alum naturally disinfects and deodorises. Antimicrobial, it is not absorbed by the skin, is a safe and very effective deodorant and inhibits the growth of bacteria.
Facts about Crystal Deodorants:
Crystal deodorants are the natural alternative to chemical and often toxic deodorants, but be aware of what type of Crystal Deodorant you use. There are many brands on the market that claim to be natural. But to be sure, check the ingredients and observe the actual appearance of the stone. 100% natural Crystal deodorants are made with Potassium Alum, a naturally occuring, mined mineral salt which is antimicrobial, is not absorbed by the skin and inhibits the growth of bacteria. A Potassium Alum Crystal has the appearance of marble, and the stone itself is translucent with veins running throught it. In contrast there are many synthetically produced crystal stones on the market that may claim to be 'natural', but are made with a synthetic ingredient called Ammonium Alum. These stones appear either clear or cloudy but have no veins. The cloudy appearance has been obtained by mixing this product with Aluminium Hydroxide, another synthetic. Unfortunately due to the increasing popularity of crystal deodorants it has created an industry which is manufacturing and mass producing something at a cheaper cost to mining it. Make sure you buy the REAL THING and as always with so called 'natural' products, check the ingredients first.

ABOUT THE BRAND+
The French skin care brand Tadé Pays du Levant was founded by Thaddée de Slizewicz, a geographer fascinated by history and the Middle East. From this land of ancient tradition he discovered a magical olive oil and laurel oil soap: the Pain d'Alep. Creating a company whose development has continued to work with ecology and the ethics of fair trade, Tadé Pays du Levant has become a range of 100% natural plant based cosmetics developed by local craftsmen and authentic raw materials and inspired by the heat and steam of the 'Hammam' or Turkish bath. There is a wide range of products within the Tade brand including the Pain d'Alep, natural flower waters, traditional black soap and red clay mask and even natural epilatory wax.
