Scientific Proof Stone Deodorant
We understand that you shouldn’t just take our word for it when choosing a product. That’s why we’ve gathered scientific research to back up the effectiveness of potassium alum. Below, you’ll find key findings from studies that demonstrate its antibacterial properties and ability to combat body odor naturally. For those who want to dive deeper, full research links are provided.
Scientific Proof Behind the Effectiveness of Potassium Alum
A study published in the International Current Pharmaceutical Journal thoroughly examined the antibacterial effectiveness of potassium alum as a natural deodorant. The research focused on its ability to combat odor-causing bacteria commonly found in the underarm area, such as Staphylococcus spp. and Corynebacterium spp..
Key Findings:
- A 2% potassium alum solution was proven highly effective in stopping the growth of odor-causing bacteria. It works by neutralizing these bacteria, preventing them from breaking down sweat into smelly compounds.
- As the concentration increased, the effectiveness grew significantly, with higher concentrations (up to 9%) creating even larger zones of bacterial inhibition.
- Potassium alum was shown to be safe for regular use, causing minimal skin irritation due to its inability to penetrate the skin barrier.
This study confirms that potassium alum provides reliable and science-backed protection against body odor. Our deodorant stone harnesses this natural antibacterial power, offering an effective, safe, and chemical-free alternative to traditional deodorants.

Scientific Study: Comparative Antimicrobial Effects of Natural Deodorants
A study published in the Crimson Journal of Microbiology and Immunology evaluated the effectiveness of various natural deodorants, including potassium alum, against bacteria responsible for body odor, such as Staphylococcus epidermidis and Corynebacterium.
Key Findings:
- Potassium Alum's Antibacterial Power: The research highlighted potassium alum as one of the most effective natural deodorants tested. It significantly inhibited the growth of odor-causing bacteria by neutralizing their ability to metabolize sweat into unpleasant-smelling compounds.
- Safety and Natural Benefits: Unlike synthetic deodorants containing harsh chemicals like triclosan and aluminum chlorohydrate, potassium alum is a natural alternative with minimal health risks. Synthetic ingredients have been associated with potential links to serious conditions, such as Alzheimer’s and certain cancers, making potassium alum a safer choice for daily use.
- Comparison with Other Natural Deodorants: While other natural options like baking soda and lemon juice also showed antibacterial properties, potassium alum stood out for its balance of effectiveness and skin-friendly application.
This research reinforces the science-backed effectiveness of potassium alum, the key ingredient in our deodorant stone, as a safe, natural, and powerful solution for combating body odor. It also highlights the benefits of avoiding potentially harmful chemicals found in many traditional deodorants.
