Crystal Mineral Deodorant Travel Stick 1.5 oz. 1 Pack Unscented
Summary
This deodorant contains potassium alum, a naturally occurring mineral salt, which is less concerning than synthetic aluminum compounds but still functions as an antiperspirant by blocking sweat ducts. The product is minimally processed and free from synthetic fragrances, parabens, and other harmful additives, which are common in many conventional deodorants. However, the presence of alum may still raise concerns for those seeking completely aluminum-free options.
