Alum Powder – Body & Home Mineral – 150g
Natural Alum Powder – The Mediterranean Multi-Purpose Mineral
Used in the Mediterranean since antiquity, Natural Alum Powder is a time-honoured mineral celebrated for its deodorant, astringent, healing, and purifying properties. This 100% natural crystal powder is a true all-rounder — ideal for body care, household use, and even creative crafts.
Traditionally known as the “stone of purity,” alum works by neutralising odours, tightening pores, and soothing skin, making it a gentle, effective natural deodorant and post-shave treatment. Beyond skincare, it has remarkable home uses — from softening laundry and keeping flowers fresh, to waterproofing fabrics and even making modelling clay.
A simple, sustainable, and zero-waste essential for modern living.
How to Use
Natural Deodorant Spray
For a refreshing, chemical-free deodorant:
-
In a 100ml bottle, add 1 teaspoon of alum powder
-
Fill half with organic floral water (rose, orange blossom, or jasmine) and half with mineral water
-
Shake before each use for a soothing, scented, and effective natural deodorant
Other Uses
-
Laundry softener: Add a small spoonful to the rinse cycle for brighter, softer clothes
-
Flower care: Dissolve a pinch in vase water to prolong the freshness of cut flowers
-
Waterproofing: Soak fabrics or umbrellas in a diluted alum solution
-
Crafts: Mix with flour and water to create natural, child-safe modelling clay
Our alum is naturally mined and finely ground in the Mediterranean, using traditional low-impact methods. It contains no synthetic additives or fillers — simply pure mineral goodness that’s safe for skin and home. Entirely biodegradable, plastic-free, and long-lasting, it’s a smart, zero-waste choice for conscious living.
