| | Frequently Asked Questions | |
What Is It? Crystal Spring deodrants are an effective natural deodorant shaped from crystallised salts. They have no wetness, stickiness or fragrance.They are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free and contain no propellants, cover up fragrances, alcohol etc and they have not been tested on animals. And they work.
Where Do They Come from? The stones come from Thailand and have been used for 100’s of years in the Far and Middle East as a natural deodorant. The only difference is that they are now shaped to make them easier to use.
How Do they Work? When applied, Crystal Spring leaves a minute film of crystallised salts on the surface of the skin. It does not clog the pores, so perspiration continues (which is a good thing – it’s one of nature’s ways of eliminating waste products), but the salts have the very special property of inhibiting the growth of odour-causing bacteria.
What are they made of ? The deodorant stones are made from Bauxite or Rock Alum which is naturally found in the ground. This is processed without the use of chemicals and shaped into a convenient stick and put into a plastic container. The new pump spray version is diluted crystal in purified water with no added chemicals or perfumes.
How do I use it ? Just wet the crystal and apply liberally each day to the underarms and areas of your body which perspire the most. Or with our new pump spray version, just spray under the arms.
How long will they last ? The spray will last up to a month, depending on use. The Crystal deodorant stone will last for months and has been known to last for years, depending on care and use.
Why are they good for people who have or had have cancer? Last year a scientific report saying that a specific chemical ‘parabens’ – present in some anti-perspirants were found in women suffering from breast cancer. Also aluminium chlorhydrate, which is found in many anti perspirants and deodorants is used to clog pores, this aluminium has been found to be absorbed into the body, and may be related to breast cancer and alzhiemers. The Amonium alum, which is the ingredient in the crystal deodorant has a molecule which is too large to pass into human skin and therefore cannot be absorbed.

| | The Difference Between Aluminium & Alum | |
Deodorant stones are made from Alum, not aluminium. Both Alum and aluminium come from bauxite ore, but alum is easily separated from the other elements in bauxite and crystallised in moulds to make the deodorants. Aluminium takes over 30 steps in 3 different processes to produce. Antiperspirants normally contain Aluminium Chlorhydrate which is very soluble and is absorbed into the skin to block pores. Once in the body the aluminium portion of the molecule ionises forming free or radical aluminium (AL+++) this ion passes freely across cell membranes, is absorbed and possibly stored in organs and tissue throughout the body. It is aluminium Chlorhydrate that has been found in brain and breast tissue giving rise to concern over possible links to Alzheimer’s disease and breast cancer links. Alum is not readily absorbed into the body due to its large molecular structure, but if it is, it does not ionise but is secreted from the body in an unchanged state.
