Crystal deodorant

[Kerry]

ROTFLOL!!!

Actually I use Pitrok rather than the Thai one but it still claims to be
natural. I have actually contacted the company via their blog and I
await their response.

The rock crystal deodorants made with crystals from Thailand contain ammonium alum - this is a form of aluminium! If you don't think it's connected to aluminium, think again!

Interesting possibility. You could always test a finger.

No wonder early senility is setting in with me! The ingredient listed (
after declaration of no aluminium chlorohydrate) is Ammonium Alum:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_aluminium_sulfate

I wonder how they will go on for cremating me if it makes me fireproof!

Are the various forms of aluminum considered equally absorbable?

This is really a bummer... I have used this for over 3 years now and have my preteen daughter using it as well. I wondered why I was getting boils and blackheads in my armpit! UGH!!!
Please let us know how the company responds. Thank you for this post even though OT.
Truly,
Erica

LOL, I am right there with you Kerry. I have been using them for years. Read the label no aluminum and took that as meaning NO ALUMINUM! YIKES.

In fact, I know why they call it the Thai deodorant stone
This Has Aluminium In.
Thai? it's probably made in a warehouse in Arizona.

The Thai Crystal Deos contain Aluminium.
To be sure ask your supplier for a chemical analysis report to back their claims.

Are you referring to the crystal salt deodorant sticks? I have been using one called Thai crystal deodorant stone for years. I love it. It is made in Arizona. It does say it contains no Aluminum Chlohydrate. Perhaps just like everything else products vary from county to county. This is the only deodorant I will use.

These are NOT aluminium free.

They used to be advertised as aluminium free.

I was discussing this in our group and one of our group who has extraordinary powers said this statement is not correct.

(She said that the hairs on her arms stand up when ever she hears a false statement! )

So I wrote to the suppliers in UK and asked for the official analysis of the product.

They had not had the product analysed having relied on their far eastern manufacturers - so they sent a request to the laboratory of either Bristol or Bath university and the report came back that it has aluminium in as a major constituent.

However, I use this product and find that it is effective and one only need to use it every two or three days.

Under-arm perspiration should be almost odour free - although pheromones are exerted with them.

Unwelcomed odour is caused by bacteria which is often removed by washing. The way this type of product acts is that it creates an acid environment where the bacteria that cause the odour cannot survive - hence no odour.

Unless of course one's perspiration is odorous - that is to say the perspiration is odorous no matter how much the area is washed and cleaned. This is then a symptom and needs to be taken into consideration.

See PERSPIRATION - Odor.

If it dissolves, it is absorbable.

I was having more thoughts on this. [Yes it was a new experience! ) ]
As you know a lot of deodorants contain anti-perspirant which often contain aluminium compounds.
These aluminium compounds stop the sweat glands from working. This is a suppression and can cause problems.
However the aluminium in the crystals is mainly in the form of Aluminium sulphate which just makes the area acidic so the bacteria that cause odour cannot survive or multiply in it and hence no odour.
However, and Importantly, perspiration continues and the sweat glands are NOT so affected.
