Biork Natural Crystal Deodorant

Unscented and hypoallergenic, this truly eco deodorant is housed in a 100% recyclable and biodegradable cork container. Free from aluminum chlorohydrate, alcohol, perfumes, parabens, preservatives, and dyes. The aluminum in crystal deodorant stones is a different type of aluminum, called alum. The most common form is potassium alum, also known as potassium aluminum sulfate. Potassium alum (and other alums) is a natural mineral salt made up of molecules that are too large to be absorbed by your skin. They form a protective layer on your skin that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria. 120 grams/4.23 oz. Packaging Cork! Cork is a no waste material that is obtained from the bark of cork oaks. Cork oaks grow in the southwestern Mediterranean countries of Spain, Portugal, Algeria and Morocco. They are one of 150 endemic tree species. Use Instructions Get the crystal wet before applying, then rub on your pits just like a conventional deodorant stick! Allow the crystal to dry uncovered (lid off). End of Life Recommendations Check to see if cork can be recycled in your municipality. If not, compost!
