A single mineral salt crystal used as a deodorant across Southeast Asia for generations.
Our story
Across Southeast Asia, a smooth crystal of mineral salt has been used for generations as a simple deodorant. It is natural potassium alum — a mineral salt that, dampened and rubbed on the skin, helps keep you fresh through the day. A single crystal can last a year or more, needs no packaging once you own it, and carries nothing but the mineral itself. Sann cuts and polishes the same crystal, so the old, zero-waste way is simple to keep.
Where it comes from
A single mineral salt crystal that has been used as a deodorant across Southeast Asia for generations.
A natural potassium alum crystal is cut to a comfortable size and polished smooth. It needs nothing added — the mineral salt is the whole product. Used with a little water, it leaves a clean, fresh feeling that lasts.
Dampen the crystal and rub it gently over clean underarms, then let it dry. Rinse the crystal and let it air. A single stone serves for a very long time — just keep it dry between uses.
Rinse it after use and let it air dry, and keep it in its dish or case between uses. Kept dry, a single crystal stays fresh and effective for a very long time.
Yes — once you have the crystal there is nothing to throw away. It comes in minimal packaging, is used with a little water, and lasts so long it rarely needs replacing.
It suits most people and is gentle, being just a mineral salt with no fragrance. As with any personal-care product, try it on a small area first and see how it feels for you.
Dampened and rubbed on clean skin, the mineral salt leaves a fine, invisible layer that helps keep you fresh through the day. There is nothing else in it — just the crystal.
A single crystal lasts a long time — a year or more for most people. Because it is a solid mineral, it does not run out quickly and needs no refills or packaging.
It is a natural mineral salt, potassium alum, that forms in clear crystals. Across Southeast Asia it has been used for generations as a simple, natural deodorant.
Notes from Sann — new pieces and the people who make them. No noise.
