What is actually in the bottle
What potassium alum is
Potassium alum a naturally occurring mineral salt, used for centuries as a personal-care ingredient. In cosmetic use, potassium alum lowers skin pH slightly, which makes the underarm environment less hospitable to the ordinary skin bacteria that break down sweat into the compounds we notice as odor.
What it is not Potassium alum is not aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium. Those are the aluminum-based antiperspirant actives regulated by the FDA under 21 CFR Part 350, and they work by physically blocking sweat glands.
