“This deodorant is sold as not containing Aluminium but it does, just look at the ingredients.
Potassium Alum is a colloquial term for potassium aluminium sulphate, which is a crystalline form of an aluminium salt, it is Aluminium.”
Thank you for your review.
We do not claim that our deodorants are aluminium-free. Instead, we claim that they are free from pore-clogging aluminium.
The problem with most aluminium salts used in deodorants and anti-perspirants is that their molecular structure is quite small – Aluminium chloride and Aluminium chlorohydrate are two examples. These work as anti-perspirants by entering sweat ducts where they react with amino acids and peptides to for a gel which plugs the sweat duct and prevents sweating. Both of these molecules are small enough to be absorbed through the surface of the skin and may enter the blood stream.
The aluminium in Potassium alum that we use is bonded into a much larger molecule – one that is physically too large to be absorbed through the skin. The largest molecule that can penetrate the skin has a molecular mass of less than 500 Daltons – and both of the molecules that we use weigh over 600 Daltons. Instead of blocking pores and preventing sweating, these molecules interfere with the reproduction of the bacteria responsible for causing B.O.

“Sadly I have just not liked this at all. I didn't like the smell and it certainly did not keep me fresh until the evening although I shower daily. Very disappointed as so wanted to like this!”

“This is the only deodrant I have found that actually works and has amazing non toxic ingredients. I have tried countless other brands from 'health stores' and I can still smell after a workout. This has stood an all day test after a long run in the sun. Glides in nicely, lasts all day and smells amazing with the relaxing scent of rosemary.”

“So pleased and it works. I’m more conscious about what I put onto my skin and how it impacts the environment. This ticks all the boxes and smell fresh and natural but in no way overpowering.”

“Not great I'm afraid. I like the idea of all natural deodorant but unfortunately didn't suit me. Needed antiperspirant instead.
And the smell of rosemary reminds me of sunday roast.”

“A delicate scent that sits comfortably with my choice of perfume. This roll-on works beautifully and lasts for about six weeks - no waste! Ingredients are natural and very kind to sensitive skin - well worth the investment. I’ve used this for over five years now.”
