INFORMATION ABOUT KETTLECARE and Naturally Fresh, and What is Alum
All of their products are free of harmful chemicals and propellants, making them environmentally friendly and ozone safe!
We are Naturally Fresh Distributors and we can offer your business a fine selection of products from Naturally Fresh. Naturally Fresh can fit into your health store, salon, truck stop business, mail order and catalog business, and gift shop. Naturally Fresh is a good name you can trust in deodorant. Why is that? Not only does it work, but it is natural. It contains natural mineral salts that form a layer of natural protection from the bacteria that cause arm and foot odor.
The Roll-On is new to their collection, and it is very special. It is not an herbal formula, as many are sensitive to plant extracts and some stimulate estrogen production. This is a very different formulation - simply yet sophisticated! Most natural roll-on's go bad in the jar because once you roll the deodorant on your skin, bad bacteria enter it. Within just a few days, your brand new deodorant can smell just like a hot locker room! But Naturally Fresh goes the distance here. They use a natural substance called Phytosphingosine, which acts as a natural preservative. This compound, which is on and under the skin naturally, is a key building block of sphingolipids, the most structurally diverse class of lipids in nature. It is present in the epidermis where it plays an important role in the interaction between human body and environment. Sphingolipids were discovered by a German surgeon-chemist, Johan L.W. Thudichum, who investigated various natural constituents of the brain, especially one particular fatty material, which was recognized to constitute the most important building block of the brain. Around 1874, he revealed the exact chemical composition of this material. To denote their enigmatic Sphinx-like nature, he termed them sphingolipids.
One reason sphingolipids remained such a quiet area of research for so long, is that their initial isolation from the brain tissue gave many scientists the mistaken impression that they occur nowhere else. Iin fact, they appear in every cell of the human body! Studies show that it has been shown to inhibit the growth of micro-organisms and acts as a "second messenger." These activities are especially required in the stratum corneum, the interface of the body and the environment, where phytosphingosine is the most predominant sphingoid base. Phytosphingosine has not been available until recently. Studies show that it inhibits the growth of gram positive bacteria (staphylococcus aureus and propionibacterium acnes), gram negative bacteria (pseudomonas aeruginosa), yeast (candida albicans) and fungi (microsporum canis). The concentration required to completely stop the growth of these micro-organisms within one hour was very low.
These findings combined with the published data on spingosine suggest that the upper layers of the skin contain a defense system against micro-organisms which has been very well preserved over time. Phytosphingosine is ultimately a better choice for individuals then the use of Triclosan, a common additive in the agent orange family, that is found in deodorants and personal care items, or Methyl Paraben and other preservatives that have known or questionable backgrounds with cancer, or release formaldehyde into the body. And this ingredient is natural!
In summary, Phytosphingosine is a compound naturally present in the skin; It has a strong anti-microbial activity and is considered part of a defense system in the human skin; It also acts as a second messenger - reducing the sensitivity of the skin; It is a useful ingredient in a wide range of skin and hair care products.
But what about potassium and ammonium alum which is found commonly in deodorant crystals and sticks? Is this safe?
It is defined as:
Alum \Al"um\ (&?;), n. [OE. alum, alom, OF. alum, F. alun, fr. L. alumen alum.] (Chem.) A double sulphate formed of aluminium and some other element (esp. an alkali metal) or of aluminium. It has twenty-four molecules of water of crystallization.
ammonium alum
n : a white crystalline double sulfate of aluminum: the
ammonium double sulfate of aluminum
potassium alum n : a white crystalline double sulfate of aluminum: the potassium double sulfate of aluminum
The chemical formula for potassium alum is K2SO4AL2(SO4)3 24H2O. Potassium alum is a colorless substance that forms large octahedral or cubic crystals. It is white, transparent, and very astringent. Bauxite is the ore from which alum is drawn. It is formed by the rapid weathering of granite rocks in warm, humid climates and can be purified and converted directly into alum. Potassium alum is soluble in seven times its weight of water at room temperature and is very soluble in hot water. When crystalline potassium alum is heated, some of the water of hydration becomes chemically separated, and the partly dehydrated salt dissolves in this water, so that the alum appears to melt at about 90 degrees C (approx. 194 degrees F). When heated to 200 degrees C (approx. 392 degrees F), potassium alum swells up, loses all water, and becomes a basic salt called burnt alum. Potassium alum has a density of 1.725.
The deodorant stones feature physically large potassium or ammonium alum molecules and are not absorbed into the skin/blood. Water has a molecular weight of 18. A potassium alum crystal molecule has a molecular weight of 474.38. A potassium or ammonium alum crystal molecule, in solution, is hydrated 24 times and consequently has a molecular weight of 654. It is impossible through natural means to get water to permeate the skin. Witness the large number of moisturizers available at the cosmetic counter and imagine how difficult it would be for a molecule that weighs 36.3 times as much as water to permeate the skin.
The pH of the solution
resulting from the topical application of potassium alum
with perspiration is typically in the slightly acid range of
4 to 5.
Alum is a natural compound in nature, is present in the water we drink, in almost all the foods we eat, and in the air we breathe. The compound has many uses -- medicinal (induces vomiting, astringents in medicine); pickling; setting dyes; in fire extinguishers; in cutting paper; and in baking powder. According to a study conducted at the University of Wisconsin, the average American adult diet includes between 20 to 60 milligrams of alum per day, of which 20 to 50 milligrams come from FDA-approved food additives. Another 2 to 10 milligrams come from the natural content of the foods eaten.
In its natural form, alum is the third most abundant element in nature, after oxygen and silicon. It has been part of our environment since the beginning of time and is one of the basic building blocks of our universe. It makes up almost 8% of the earth’s crust, surpassed in quantity only by oxygen at 47% and silicon at 28%. It is in soil and clays that only when processed produce metallic aluminum products.
Will this
Reduce my Perspiration?
Naturally Fresh Deodorants are just that – deodorants. They
are not anti-perspirants which inhibit the flow of
perspiration. Your body will still be allowed to naturally
expel toxins through sweat; there simply won’t be any of the
accompanying odors. Ideally, these deodorants should be
applied to the skin directly after bathing. In that way, the
bacteria that cause the odor have not yet had the chance to
form on the skin and the barrier that the deodorant provides
is at its peak effectiveness.
How are these deodorants different than what's on the market?
Most deodorants mask body odor with a perfumed scent, or contain alcohol to shrink pores, or aluminum chlorohydrate/aluminum zirconium. These compounds enter the pores and physically block or clog them to reduce the flow of perspiration (when dissolved is selectively absorbed by the liver, kidney, brain, cartilage and bone morrow). In essence, they inhibit the body’s natural expulsion of toxins. It is this concentration of aluminum that has been the source for concern in the medical community and has prompted the research being done on ALZIHEIMER'S DISEASE and BREAST CANCER victims. Potassium alum, on the other hand has a negative ionic charge, making it unable to penetrate the cell wall. This is why our products work as a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. THEY ARE NOT ABSORBED. This is why our deodorants are safe and DO NOT CONTAIN ALUMiNUM CHLORHYDRATE or ALUMINUM ZIRCONIUM.
What are
additional benefits of these products?
Because it is a solely topical product it is completely
hypoallergenic. It is also fragrance free, non-sticky, and
will not stain or otherwise adversely affect your clothing
(even the most delicate, such as silk). It leaves no white
flakes or residue on your clothing or skin and is
Environmentally Safe.
