is this the exact same kind of Alum powder that is used for processing furs?

Yes this what I use it for. This is one of the ingredients for a tanning solution

No. The formula for Aluminum Sulfate used in tanning skins is Al2(SO4)3 (Wikipedia)The formula for Bonide 705 Aluminum Sulfate is Al2O3. So Bonide uses 17% Aluminum Sulfate and 15% Sulfur (Package Label)You can check Google (which I just did) to get some good detailed info on the use of Aluminum Sulfate in the tanning process.

No it isn't unfortunately. I remember that version as bring superior to the current VOC compliant product. The thing that offsets the heavier VOC compliant formula is just the common sense answer of using as little as possible, if the problem is volume and trying not to flatten already soft, fine hair. I find a little does work, unless it's very humid.

It is suposed to be. I use it as a powder over the top of the make up.But not very happy with product. The powder does not get out easy and the brush is not soft.I used to go with shiseido powder and will go back.

Yes, it's the same quality because it's the same as beauty salon supplies. The best!

No, all the same. Although, local salons will say that this is not authentic American Crew defining paste. I've bought this product for 5 years from salons and Amazon, I can't tell the difference.

I bought it and have been using it.. it smells just like the real one and makes your hair feel just like the real one. I have no complaints! I am pretty sure that it is the real deal! I have bought it from salons before and I see no difference in the two :)

I assume it is as it smells, looks, and feels the same. It seems to work like the original one I got from a facial spa. Packaging is identical as well. I have ordered product several times from this supplier.

I think it is from a local shop that sells it. My product was just like what I get in salons.

Yes. This is a great product for natural hair even chemically treated hair.

Yes, I bought from both the salon and on Amazon and they are always the same product.

I am pretty sure it is, BUT you need to check the product's description. I've used this brand with our Aussie, and his coat is lush and glossy.

From the research I have done, it is indeed the same as bentenite clay. It draws out toxins and heavy metals.

Hello, This has a consistency very similiar to that of any regular aloe vera gel you would purchase at a store for sunburn. I hope this helps! Thank You, Customer Service

Yes it is. We had bought the exact same one for my daughter for Xmas through my beautician via a local Goldwell beauty supply store.

This is from Dr. Mercola: The aluminum in crystal deodorant stones is a different type of compound known as an alum, the most common form being potassium alum, also known as potassium aluminum sulfate.Potassium alum or ammonium alum are natural mineral salts 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. These deodorants are recommended by many cancer treatment centers.But while this may be a better alternative to most antiperspirants and deodorants on the market, it is not completely aluminum-free.

I called the Crystal company (800-829-ROCK) and their customer service representative confirmed that all of their stick deodorants are EXACTLY THE SAME (Potassium Alum), only the packaging is different.
