Why This Alum is Safe (and Powerful):
The alum in Vallee Naturals' Botanical Deodorant Spray is a natural mineral salt known as potassium alum, not the synthetic aluminum compounds used in most commercial antiperspirants (like aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium). Traditional Eastern practices have used natural alum stones for centuries as gentle yet effective odor protection.
Unlike commercial deodorants, this form of alum:
Stays on the surface of the skin — it doesn’t clog sweat glands or absorb into your body.
Neutralizes odor-causing bacteria, while still allowing your body to sweat and detox naturally.
Is combined with magnesium chloride and therapeutic hydrosols, supporting a holistic approach to wellness and daily body care.
Bottom line: Our alum is clean, mineral-based, non-toxic, and used the way nature intended — no endocrine disruption, no synthetics, no worries.
