Ummmmmmm….doing some research here…..these deodorant sticks are advertised as “Contains NO Aluminum Chlorohydrate.” http://www.thecrystal.com/product_information.cfm

Makes u think no aluminum…………. right?????????????????????

Alum Ammonium-based deodorants “…….It is found in soil and clays that only produce metallic aluminum products when processed. Even so, the alunite molecules are too large for the body to absorb physically. This is confirmed by the fact that alum weighs over 36 times as much as water and it is impossible through natural means to get water to permeate the skin[5].”

Do we believe this? “The aluminum molecules are too large for the body to absorb????????”

Next…………………

Ammonia alum, NH4Al(SO4)2•12H2O, a white crystalline double sulfate of aluminium, is used in water purification, in vegetable glues, in porcelain cements, in natural deodorants (though potassium alum is more commonly used), in tanning, dyeing and in fireproofing textiles.(from Wikipedia)

I think I have fallen for another marketing scam! These sticks don’t contain ALUMINUM CHLOROHYDRATE but they are made of AMMONIUM ALUM which just happens to be WHITE CRYSTALINE DOUBLE SULFATE OF ALUMINIUM.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? Anyone else know any more about this?

My reason for investigating is my hair test came up toxic aluminum.
