Crystal Deodorant
Alternative to deodorant in plastic packaging.
Unscented and hypoallergenic, this truly eco deodorant is housed in a 100% recyclable and biodegradable cork container. Free from aluminum chlorohydrate, alcohol, perfumes, parabens, preservatives, and dyes.
When an antiperspirant claims to be “aluminum-free,” this typically means it does not contain aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum chloride, aluminum hydroxybromide, or aluminum zirconium—all forms of aluminum commonly used in antiperspirants and deodorants. To stop the flow of sweat to your skin’s surface, the aluminum plugs sweat ducts in the top layer of your skin, stopping the natural flow of sweat to your skin’s surface.
The aluminum in crystal deodorant stones is a different type of aluminum, called alum. The most common form is potassium alum, also known as potassium aluminum sulfate. Potassium alum (and other alums) is a natural mineral salt made up of molecules that are too large to be absorbed by your skin. They form a protective layer on your skin that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
This crystal deodorant lasts longer than your typical deodorant!

Where It Comes From
Biork belongs to the Swiss company EnergyBalance - located in the beautiful Italian speaking part of Switzerland. Creator Philip developed this product to fill a gap in the market for natural deodorants that both work great and are free of plastic. Biork crystal deodorants are intentionally packaged in cork, an underrated superstar material that is both sustainable and versatile! When cork is harvested, the living part of the tree is undamaged, and once harvested, a cork tree can absorb up to 5 times more carbon dioxide!
