How to use alum pebbles to make your own deodorant

• Select the alum pebbles and a jar.
• Part fill the jar with alum pebbles 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.
