I'm not sure what the pot ash alum is???
I'd have to do a search on it.
In Australia, do they have to put the ingredients on the label???? If so, look
at the ingredients.. that is where I looked to see what all ingredients were
in there. I threw the box away, so can't find it now. But you are right, who
knows exactly what all the mineral salts are composed of.... does anyone know
if it says mineral salts only if there could be "bad" things in there or not?

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.

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?
