Known since ancient times, the’alunite is experiencing a real resurgence among today's manufacturers and formulators. Sometimes referred to as the "rock of a thousand virtues," this natural mineral derives its name from the Greek root alos, meaning «salt.». Indeed, artisans once used it to permanently set textile dyes or to treat wooden roof frames to make them fire-resistant.

Today, this mineral ingredient has established itself as a must-have in the world of clean cosmetics and body care. Indeed, it naturally regulates perspiration and neutralizes body odor. As a spice supplier and botanical or mineral ingredients, we select regular raw crystals that meet the most stringent specifications.
