Thai Crystal Deoderant Stones

I am all for natural deodorants... as long as they work. I am happy to say that the Thai Crystal Deodorant Stone did just that-it worked!

One of the best things about Deodorant Stones of America's products is that they do not contain aluminum as many conventional deodorants do. Research is being done on the link between aluminum and Alzheimer’s disease and breast cancer. Depending on your preference, they offer loose deodorant stones, stones in plastic holders (stick stone), roll on deodorant, and even a deodorant liquid spray that is very convenient. The company also carries deodorant powder, as well as great ayate sponges and washcloths.

If you thought that a deodorant stone would be hard to use, think again! All you need to do is wet the stone, apply it to your underarm (or foot) and it dries instantly. It is much easier than other gel or roll-on deodorants that you may have used in the past. I love that there is no white residue and no drying time! You can order a mini size stone and keep it in your bag to freshen up wherever you may be. I love the stick stone for its convenience and I like that I don't have to actually hold the stone to use it because it is in its own little plastic holder.

Deodorant Stones of America products can be found at many health and grocery stores across the country. Their products can also be ordered on their website www.deodorantstones.com. Their website offers a trial size stone and a mini size stick stone for just a few dollars each.

Editor's note: The statement "they do not contain aluminum" refers to the fact that the product does not contain Aluminum Chlorohydrate which has been linked to Alzheimer's. Most - if not all - crystal deodorant stones do contain potassium alum, which is a chemical compound that is the result of from bauxite, an aluminum ore. Though some have raised concerns about alum, that it may be similar to or the same as aluminum, as an ingredient the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database has given products containing potassium alum, including many deodorants, a hazard rank of 0. See the listings here.
