Bath & Body

The deodorant crystal our customers are raving about!

The alum stone is a highly unique natural deodorant that can also be used as an aftershave. This amazing crystal deodorant is made of mineral salt, so it stops odor-producing bacteria from forming, making it a safe and effective natural deodorant. Each stone will last you for several years!

Alum stones will help you sweat less, but they don't block your pores like an antiperspirant would, meaning they still allow your body to naturally cool down and release toxins when it needs to. They are a beautiful and package-free alternative to deodorant that's completely nontoxic. 

Alum stones have been used since antiquity as a styptic and a deodorizer. The secret to using this crystal as a deodorant is to have clean skin before you apply! You can read more about how to use alum stones on our blog. When used as an aftershave on the legs or face, it soothes nicks and cuts, and helps to prevent razor burn or skin irritation from shaving. 

Each alum stone is a unique mineral crystal with slight variations in shape and appearance. They are natural, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free and vegan.

Use and care

Gently wet the surface and apply as you would deodorant.

The alum stone works best when your pores are clean and open, such as after a shower. You can also use a warm or soapy washcloth to cleanse your underarm, and then apply the stone. Either works just fine! Cleansing your underarm first is the trick to what makes this so effective.

Like any natural deodorant, there can be a bit of an adjustment period as your body gets used to the alum stone. We suggest giving the detox phase a few weeks for it to work its best. We share our favorite tips for transitioning to natural deodorant (and our detoxifying 'pit mask' recipe!) on our blog. 

Please note: It is a salt crystal that dissolves with moisture, so pat dry if needed and store in a dry place. We recommend using a soap dish or old jar lid as a tray for your alum stone, to protect your surfaces and countertops.

It does not expire, nor is it temperature sensitive. With daily use, this stone should last over two years.

Types

Classic - Each alum stone is a unique mineral crystal with slight variations in shape and appearance. 

Imperfect (not currently available) - We inspect each stone from our manufacturer and have discounted some due to more noticeable imperfections. "Imperfect" alum stones are not broken, they are typically just slightly chipped around the edges, but work just as well! 

Travel/sample size (not currently available) - This is a perfect way to sample an alum stone if you're unsure, or just want a smaller piece for travel. These are pieces of stones that were broken during shipment, so putting these to use is truly zero waste! Each has a smooth outer side that can glide against your skin.

Size

This stone weighs 5.3 oz.

Ingredients

Potassium Alum (Mineral Salts).

Alum stones contain a naturally occurring form of aluminum (Potassium Alum) that does not possess the same health risks as the aluminums in many antiperspirant deodorants (Aluminum Chloride/Chlorohydrate/Zirconium), which block sweat ducts and glands. Potassium Alum is a different chemical compound and stays on the surface of your skin, making alum stones safe to use.

Does not contain Parabens.

Packaging

None.

Origin

Made in France.

End of life

Use until it’s too small to hold. It can last about 5 years, depending on how often you use it. You’ll end up with a small piece that's basically a rock, so you won’t want to put it in a compost bin but what you can do is sand it into a powder (it’s a very soft crystal), add water and put it in a spray bottle to keep using as deodorant! Zero waste!

We're kind of freaking out about these soaps. Call us obsessive, but we've been searching high and low for the perfect vegan, sulfate-free, palm oil free, locally made natural hand and body soaps for ages. 

These soaps are absolutely luxurious, and they're handmade by Liz, a woman on our wavelength, not too far from here, in Spokane, WA. All of the colors come from natural pigments in clays, herbal infusions, spices, and other botanicals. The result is cleansing care that is safe for your body, safe for the water, safe for the earth.

Each bar of soap is a unique work of art - no two are exactly the same, which means they will vary slightly from the photos.

Types

Pink Clay + grapefruit - Burst of citrusy grapefruit on the skin and cleansing pink clay suds. Luxurious and pink.

Blue clay + patchouli - Blue clay cleanses the skin while sea salt gently exfoliates. Earthy scents of patchouli and sandalwood delight the senses. 

Lavender - Alkanet root gives this bar a natural purple pigment and the lavender scent releases a soft floral scent.

Unscented coconut milk + calendula- Only seven ingredients. Shea butter and organic coconut milk create a moisturizing, creamy lather. Organic calendula petals gently infuse the soap with skin-loving properties. Safe ingredients make it the perfect bar for kids, babies, and anyone with sensitive skin, especially since it is does not contain any essential oils. Perfect for bathtime.

Lemon + poppy seed - Poppy seeds naturally exfoliate the skin while bursts of lemon delight the senses. An exfoliant that is safe for the skin, the water, and the earth. Though you may be tempted, do not eat this soap! 

Eucalyptus + Sea Clay - Take your skin to the spa with eucalyptus essential oil. Shea butter moisturizes the skin while french green clay and sea clay create soft, green bubbles. Himalayan pink salt garnish creates a gentle exfoliation.

Earl grey tea - Like a swirled london fog latte, or a cup of tea with cream, this bar is scented with essential oils of bergamot with a hint of lavender and cinnamon. Organic, whole leaf earl grey tea and activated charcoal create a gorgeous grey swirl.

Cinnamon + Clove - Essential oils of cinnamon, clove, and orange create the perfect spiced holiday scent that lingers in your shower and on the skin. The gorgeous mulled wine red comes from madder root powder for a spiced holiday experience.

Sweet Orange + Ginger - Bright, warm scents of orange and ginger with gently exfoliating poppy seeds. Sunshiny bubbles for happy, glowing skin. An exfoliant that is safe for the skin, the water, and the earth. 

Winter solstice - All the magic of winter solstice and a blend of winter herbs and spices - frankincense, cypress, cinnamon leaf, sage, and pine. Naturally pigmented with blue clay, indigo, and annatto seed powder, reminiscent of the bonfires lit on this dark winter night.

Pumpkin spice - Made with a warm blend of cinnamon, clove, and orange essential oils. Naturally pigmented with organic pumpkin and turmeric.

Cedarwood + Fir - Essential oils of fir needle and cedarwood create the perfect woodsy scent, like a walk through pine trees dusted with snow. Naturally pigmented with chlorella powder.

End of life

Use until completely gone.

To help use soap ends, you can place bits and pieces of soaps into a small mesh cloth bag to use in the bath or shower!

This gentle bodywash is lightly scented with organic lavender and has a luxurious lather! Perfect for a daily shower, a relaxing spa-like experience, or even used as bubble bath.

Another option you might consider is a solid soap to use as bodywash. You can check out our shampoo, shower, shave bar, or one of our hand & body bar soaps! These non-liquid options are even more sustainable because they require less packaging and are more lightweight, which reduces shipping emissions.

Instructions

Directions as a body wash: Wet body and massage a small amount of gel onto body, working into a lather. Rinse well.

Directions as a hair shampoo: First, wet hair completely. Pour a dime to quarter sized dollop of shampoo (depending on your length of hair) into the palm of your hand. Massage the shampoo into the scalp, working through your hair, covering the entire hair shaft from root to tip. Rinse thoroughly with cool or tepid water. Repeat if desired. Follow up with your preferred conditioner.

Directions as a hand wash: Frequent hand washing can over dry skin, while soaps can alter skin pH, making it more alkaline than normal, which can affect the skin’s ability to act as a barrier. When the epidermal barrier is disrupted, the potential for skin damage escalates. This product was formulated with skin’s pH in mind to help prevent this disruption.

Directions as a bubble bath: For a relaxing bubble bath pour two tablespoons into bath water directly beneath the faucet. Turn water on full strength. The greater the force, the more bubbles. Make sure to rinse really well.
