Deodorant crystals: if you're not familiar with these products, at first glance, it may seem like an odd concept –wetting a stone and using it as deodorant?

We admit is not the traditional deodorant most of us are used to seeing in the beauty product aisles, but what you may not know is how beneficial these crystals are!

The deodorant crystal was introduced to Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal founders, Ted and Cathy Alflen, in 1990 on a trip to Thailand. They themselves thought the applications of wetting a stone with water and rubbing it on your skin seemed quite unusual, but much to their surprise the results far exceeded their expectations.

The Alflens were thrilled to have found a healthy, natural alternative to conventional deodorants. The deodorant crystal is 100% pure and natural because it comes from mineral salts. Its' formulated without chemicals and is gentle on sensitive skin. In 1991 the Alflens began importing raw stones from Thailand and started selling their first deodorant crystal.

For those looking to live a healthier lifestyle a deodorant crystal is the perfect choice. These products are naturally fragrance free, hypoallergenic and free from harmful aluminum that have been linked to certain health risks and clogs pores.

Deodorant crystals do not prevent your body from sweating. This allows the toxins your body excretes when you sweat to find their way out of your pores and out of your body. It is important to remember that sweating is your body's way of maintaining body temperature and is extremely vital to survival. Although the deodorant crystal does not prevent sweating, it does prevent body odor. The salt molecules provide protection against odor causing bacteria that forms when you sweat. The salt deposits stay on your skin, raising the PH level. This stops bacteria from growing and therefore stops odor.

Because this product is free of any harmful aluminum contaminants it comes highly recommended by oncologists, dermatologists and allergists.

Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal is the only company in the world to add Aloe Vera to its deodorant crystal. This is used to soothe and moisturize skin that can be irritated by shaved underarms.

Unlike conventional deodorants and antiperspirants the deodorant crystal provides 24-hours of non-staining production. That means it glides on clear, so you do not have to worry about white stains on your clothing. These products will also never leave those unsightly yellow stains on your white shirts. Yellow stains are caused by the reaction between the aluminum in antiperspirants and the salts in your sweat.

The value of the deodorant crystal is unmatched by any other deodorant product. You can pick up a Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal MiniStick, which is a 2.1-ounce bottle for less the four dollars. That one little stick can last up to an entire year! That's literally less than a penny a day to keep you smelling fresh and clean.
