Hi Kim,
Potash alum is Potassium, aluminum sulfate. This is definitely an aluminum
salt. Why not use only CS ?

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?
