Alum stone from Karawan authentic

There are 2 main categories of Alum stones. It is almost impossible to differentiate them from the eye.

• Synthetic Alum, which is Ammonium Alum. It derives from the chemical industry (nylon industry), it is then re-agglomerated and reconstituted. The aluminum which is present in this stone is not hydrated and can then bind to the skin.

• Potassium Alum or Aluminum Potassium Sulfate, which is a natural stone.

Karawan Alum stone comes from minerals salts of Potassium, which are extracted from natural carries.
Once pieces of crystal are extracted, the natural Alum salts are dissolved into water to wash out impurities and then they are concentrated and dried. Their shape can be rough (natural crystallizing which is irregular) or can be carved and polished to give them a precise look (rectangle of cylinder at Karawan). This process is absolutely natural, without any synthetic step, and nothing is added to the original components of Alum.

This natural Alum stone is a hydrated double Aluminum and Potassium sulfate. Hydrated aluminum is a stable aluminum and therefore does not bind to the skin. The formula is KAI (SO4)2 12 H2O, which is Potassium alum stone (potash alum or potassium alum). Its PH is rather acid - around 3.5. It is a natural mineral which act on the surface of the skin (invisible protecting film). For information, the hydrated aluminum is one of the main components of clay. This product has been used since centuries to purify water, to stabilize colors or to tan leather.
