How Do Deodorant Stones Work?

Mineral salts deodorant stones have been used for hundreds of years as a natural method for preventing body odor. Body odor, also known as “B.O.”, is actually a misleading term. It is not a person’s body that smells unpleasant; it is the bacteria that grows in his or her sweat. More accurately, “B.O.”, should stand for bacterial odor. When deodorant stones are applied to the skin, it creates an environment that is much too salty for bacteria to grow in. It is important to apply the deodorant stone to clean skin as it prevents odor; it does not cover it up.  For more information on the science of body odor you can check out this interesting article.

What Are The Benefits Of Deodorant Stones?

They have many benefits compared to the synthetic deodorants that most people use today. Some of the benefits include…

  • A Comfortable And Natural Feel
  • Highly Effective Odor Prevention
  • Safe And Toxin Free
  • Hypoallergenic
  • No Stains Or Residue
  • Saves Money

The Feel

It’s been years since I last used the synthetic deodorants on the market today. I have used sprays, gels, and sticks in the past and found all of them to be uncomfortable. They were all sticky and some even irritated my skin. It was also very hard to wash them off in the shower and I felt as if they stayed in my skin for a day or two after rinsing.  With deodorant stones there is no feeling associated with the product. Their is no stickiness or irritation and you can’t even tell that it is there. I went on a trip a few years back and forgot to take my deodorant stone and was forced to use a deodorant stick from a local convenience store. I couldn’t believe how uncomfortable it felt after not using a stick for so long.

Effectiveness

Many people assume natural products don’t work and instead just buy what is mainstream. Deodorant stones work much better than the deodorant sold in stores today. Deodorants today don’t prevent odor, they only cover it up. Antiperspirants work by clogging your pores which can cause ingrown hairs. It can also trap bacteria in your pores causing even more odor.

Non-Toxic Goodness

A good deodorant stone should be 100% potassium alum. Potassium alum is not the same as aluminum and does not have health concerns. Skin Deep Database rates potassium alum a 1 out of 10 for toxicity which is considered very safe. Many synthetic deodorants have chemicals that rank 8 or even higher.

Saves Money

Green Virgin Products deodorant stones are 100% potassium alum and last at least a year and usually a lot longer. They sell for only $5.99. Traditional deodorants last between 2 to 6 months so these stones save a lot of money. So why pay more for a toxic product that doesn’t work as well?
