Alum is another natural miracle widely used in traditional wet shaving as an aftershave product.It’s a colorless and odorless astringent compound chemically known as aluminum potassium sulfate.Alum is one of the oldest compounds used by humanity.It was known by ancient Egyptians. Alum is soluble in hot water, it’s a strong astringent and antiseptic. It’s used to fight with acne and pimples. Closes the skin pores after shaving, stops the bleeding from minor cuts and nicks, provides relief for irritation, and razor burns. It has antibacterial effects so has long been used as a natural underarm deodorant. Also prevents infection from cuts and nicks. It will tone and smooth your skin effectively.
