What causes smelly feet?
Perspiration leads to the cause of foot odor. With more than 200,000 sweat glands each, your feet are one of the parts of the body that perspire most. Perspiration is basically just salt and water, so it doesn’t have a distintive smell. The smell is actually caused by bacteria on our skin that feeds on the sweat and excrete waste, which has a strong odor. Wearing the same pair of shoes every day means that sweat builds up inside the shoes. This keeps the shoes moist, contributing to the production of excessive perspiration, bacterial growth and often, an unplesant smell. If your footwear is left unused for a few days, the smell usually goes away. But once you put the footwear again, the warmth returns and so does the bad smell.
What is deodorant allergy?
The most common symptoms that arise from deodorant allergies are a redness that spreads under the armpit along with the need to scratch. Both of these, if experienced, should warn you immediately of an allergy to your deodorant. Some deodorants will cause only slight rednes, and perhaps a minor itching sensations or a bit of dry skin, while others can cause full blown rash, complete with oozing blisters, and peeling skin. Neither of these symptoms of deodorant allergies are particularly harmful, but can become extremely painful if left untreated.
If you think you may be suffering from deodorant allergies, there are a few things that you should do. The first of which is to stop using that particular brand of deodorant immediately. If you have had the same reaction to several different brands of deodorant, you may be allergic to the aluminum contained in many underarm deodorant products. If an aluminum compound, such as aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium, which are very soluble, is used as an antiperspirant, that compound is readily absorbed. Once in the body, the aluminum portion of the molecule ionizes, forming free or radical aluminum (Al+++). This passes freely across cell membranes, and forms a physical plug, that when dissoved is selectively absorbed by the liver, kidney, brain, cartilage and bone marrow. It is this concentration of aluminum that has been the source of concern in the medical community and has prompted the research being done on ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE and BREAST CANCER victioms. Potassium alum molecules have a negative ionic charge, making it unable to pass through the cell wall. THEY ARE NOT ABSORBED. This is why Milcu Deodorant Powder is safe to use and will not cause high levels of ALUMINUM in your system. ALUM and ALUMINUM are two different substances, with distinct chemical signatures. They possess different chemical properties which create different chemical atributes. This information is provided to alleviate any concerns about the safety of our Milcu Deodorant Powder.

Milcu Deodorant Facts
What are Tawas crystals?
Tawas crystal, known by its scientific name as Potassium Alum (nothing to do with aluminum), is a colorless crystal formed from non toxic mineral salts in mother earth. It has been widedly used in Asia, Europe, and Mexico as a natural deodorant for the feet and underarms.
How does it work?
Alum’s antibacterial properties eliminates the bacteria that causes odor. On application, a little of the crystal dissolves and sits on your skin’s surface an invisible microscopic protective film, eliminating odor for 24 hours or until your next wash. The Alum’s molecular structure is too big to pass into the body. This means your pores are not blocked as with anti-perspirants. Instead your body continues to naturally detoxify by sweating but without the associated odor.
