Mineral salt deodorant is a type of alternative deodorant made of natural mineral salt called potassium alum, also known as potassium aluminum sulfate. It has been shown to have antimicrobial properties and is mined out of the ground. Mineral salts, natural fragrances made with essential oils and extracts, and sodium bicarbonate provide pure, safe, reliable performance and invigorating aromas. Some benefits of mineral salt deodorant include:
Positive:
- Natural ingredients
- Low cost
- Antimicrobial properties
- Safe and non-toxic
Negative:
- Some people swear by it, while others swear it doesn’t work
- It will not stop you from sweating
