How to use alum powder to make your own deodorant
- Select the alum pebbles or the alum power / granules and if needed, and a jar.
- Part fill the jar with alum pebbles or powder and add water. Agitate for a minute or so and use as a homemade spray on deodorant. The alum water will carry 3-10% in solution giving a milder deodorant then using the alum crystal block directly on the skin.
- Shake to dissolve the crystals.
- A popular option is them to transfer the alum liquid into a pump spray bottle, leaving any undissolved crystals behind in the jar and that way, the pump spray mister should work without clogging.

Sharon Butler –
I was so pleased to find this reasonably priced, traditionally sourced alum crystal powder to use as a mordant when naturally dyeing with flowers and foliage. It gives excellent results and is now a staple for my practice – https://lansdownhall.org/exhibitions/natures-gift-of-colour-sharon-butler/ @alittlebitofsewing
