Body Odor: If you are one of those people who believe that body odor comes from perspiring, you are only partially correct. Body odor is actually a byproduct of the perspiration coming into contact with the bacteria on your skin. Eliminate one or the other, and you have eliminated body odor. However, it is not healthy to try to stop your body from perspiring. Your body regulates its temperature by perspiring, and it eliminates a small fraction of the toxins with which you come in contact with on a daily basis. Eliminating the bacteria from this equation is obviously the healthier choice.
Mineral Salts: This deodorant stone is made of 100% natural mineral salts. How is that different? Most deodorants on the market are made of chemicals formulated in laboratories – unnatural, unhealthy, chemicals that can be very harsh to your system.
How Does it Work? With the Crystal Deodorants, the mineral salts form a topical layer on the skin, creating an environment impossible for bacteria to thrive. They eliminate the odor-causing bacteria, and therefore eliminate body odor.
How is that different from mainstream deodorants? Most deodorants mask body odor with a perfumed scent, or contain alcohol to shrink pores, or aluminum chlorohydrate/aluminum zirconium. These compounds enter the pores and physically block or clog them to reduce the flow of perspiration. In essence, they inhibit the body’s natural expulsion of toxins.
Additional Benefits Because it is a solely topical product it is completely hypoallergenic. It is also fragrance free, non-sticky, and will not stain or otherwise adversely affect your clothing (even the most delicate, such as silk). It leaves no white flakes or residue on your clothing or skin and is Environmentally Safe.
Is Alum Safe to Use? Yes, alum is safe to use. In fact, many health professionals recommend these products. Alum is made up of a variety of mineral salts which, when combined, form an entirely new mineral compound. The molecular structure of the alum mineral compound is physically too large to be absorbed into the skin rendering it completely topical and safe.
Will this Reduce my Perspiration? The Crystal Body Deodorants are just that – deodorants. They are not anti-perspirants which inhibit the flow of perspiration. Your body will still be allowed to naturally expel toxins through sweat; there simply won’t be any of the accompanying odors.
How Should I Use it for Best Results? Simply moisten the top of the rock or stick and apply generously to clean skin. Ideally, these deodorants should be applied to the skin directly after bathing. In that way, the bacteria that cause the odor have not yet had the chance to form on the skin and the barrier that the deodorant provides is at its peak effectiveness.
