When I was at the health store getting my stone, the lady told me there that sometimes you have to sand off the top layer periodicallly??? Also, look at the ingredients on them...some of them are only mineral salts...some of them have added alums, etc.... I was surprised, but finally found one that was only mineral salts... I also use the CS under the arm too. Kim I wonder what mineral salts? I'm looking at Australian ones here. Deonat says hypo allergenic, Natural body deodorant. No aluminium chlorohydrate. etc etc Freedom body says hypo-allergenic, all natural, fragrance free, ... film of natural minerals preventing bacteria from forming ... contains no aluminium chlorohydrate or aluminium chlorohydroxide Eon: the natural crystal deodorant ... completely pure, natural mineral salt ...contains crystalised Pot Ash Alum
Sorry to be so wary of these manufacturers, but we have to take their word for it if they don't say exactly what mineral salts are in the product. For instance, supposing someone said no Aluminium Chlorohydrate but it did have aluminium chlorohydroxide. Okay, unlikely maybe, but there are people out there who will tell the truth with intent to deceive. What is Pot Ash Alum? Rowena
