Questions & Answers

This seems to be aluminum potassium sulfate, isn't it? Is it the same kind of alum as before?

It appears to be just Aluminum Sulfate based on the ingredients. Potassium is not in the food.

In making alum crystals, is this what is used?

Despite trying twice to make crystals from this brand, I was unable to succeed. We do not seem to be able to use this product

What is the purpose of this ?

It is excellent for making deodorant, I've used it for that

Would it be possible to use this for cosmetic ?

You have no idea how I made pickles crunchy using it

PURE ALUM IS NOT AVAILABLE
3/5

The crystallization of insects and skulls is done using chemicals. There was nothing in this bag except for aluminum sulfate, because it did not grow a single crystal, even after a week of sitting. The other attempts I've made have been a lot more successful. I am very dissatisfied with the service. The whole thing was a It is not appropriate to buy if this is going to be used.

Please send me another one. The package I received today was enclosed. There are 1 lbs of this product. There was a noticeable difference in weight. Upon weighing it on the scale, I found that it only.

This review is for curing canker sores, but it was not intended for that purpose
5/5

There is a lot of canker sores in my family, and alum is supposed to cure them, so I thought I would give it a try. While I am aware that these statements have not been reviewed by the FDA, and this product certainly isn't advertised for this purpose, I cannot emphasize enough how helpful it is for people who deal with canker sores. By dipping the cotton swab into water, and then sticking the alum to the tip, I was able to do this. I rubbed it on the sore and rinsed with water afterward. fairly uncomfortable at first, but I was able to get it to go away after wearing it twice in a row before bed. There was a small bump on the second attempt, but it cleared up after a single I also used this product on my five-year-old daughter and it worked well and there was.

For those who shave often, this is the holy grail
5/5

OK, I don't know what other people use this for, but I use it anyway for a purpose that is, I guess, off-label. The only time I use this is to shave. Ingrown hairs won't form on your bikini area or underarms if you apply this lather immediately after shaving but even better if you do it while the skin is still wet. After shaving, it is necessary to completely rinse off your skin to remove any soap or cream left behind. Rinse it off once it's dry, then apply it to your wet skin. In addition, you won't sweat on the days you use it on your underarms. When it comes to a little, a lot can be achieved.

There is nothing right about this
3/5

This is suppose to be a 1 lb bag and it's only an 8 oz. I did not receive the right brand. The quality of the product is poor, so it.

Alum is not an alloy
3/5

There is nothing I can say to make it up to you. The package I received did not contain alum, that much is certain. Since my children were very young, I have been purchasing alum for crystal making projects. Whenever we put this package in the oven we did not grow a single crystal so if this was alum we would already have a few.

Hydrangeas that are cut last longer when they are preserved
5/5

There is a beautiful Limelight Hydrangea bush in my yard Before I learned how to use alum on the stems (plus other tricks available on the web), a cut stem lasted less than a day. I'll never make pickles, so I just put the stem directly in the jar when I take it out. In addition to the silica packet (moisture absorbing), I also included a little bag of silica in there to ensure no moisture issues arise. I probably will have this for a lifetime. I love it.
