Also known as: Aluminum Potassium Sulfate
Country Of Origin: India
Description: Alum Powder is a finely milled form of potassium aluminum sulfate, a naturally occurring mineral salt traditionally sourced from regions where alum-rich deposits are found. Once processed, it appears as a white, crystalline powder with a smooth texture and a neutral, mineral-like profile suitable for a variety of household and formulation uses.
The production process begins with obtaining mineral material that contains alum salts. This raw material is dissolved in water and purified through controlled crystallization, allowing the alum to separate from natural impurities. The purified crystals are then dried and ground into a uniform powder before being sieved to achieve consistent particle size. This method produces a clean, stable mineral powder that retains the characteristic properties of refined alum.
Alum Powder is used in culinary, cosmetic, and craft applications that require a mineral-based ingredient. In culinary work, it is commonly used in traditional pickling processes where it contributes firmness to certain fruits and vegetables.
In cosmetic and personal-care formulation, it can be added to deodorant prototypes, bath products, and mineral blends where a fine, water-soluble powder is desired for structural or aesthetic purposes.
In crafting and educational projects, the powder may be included in crystal-growing activities or mineral-based mixtures that highlight natural salts.
Its uniform texture and clean mineral profile make it suitable for a wide range of functional and creative uses where a refined mineral powder is required.
Storage: In a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container.
