Alum Stone

Latin name : Potassium alum

Composition : Potassium alum is a naturally occurring sulfate mineral which typically occurs as encrustations on rocks in areas of weathering and oxidation of sulfide minerals and potassium-bearing minerals.

Properties : Potassium alum is frequently used as a natural deodorant. These minerals work as deodorants by forming a hostile environment for odor-causing bacteria on the surface of the skin. Use of mineral salts in such a fashion does not prevent perspiration. In India it is used by the barbers to apply at the customer after cutting the mustache and beards.
