Review title is Multi-certified, coarse alum for general use but not what you might expect for a powder [SEP] Herbs Botanica Alum Powder offers a multi-certified, coarse alum that is good for general use but not what you might expect for a powder.<br /><br />PROS<br />• Appropriate for multiple uses<br />• USDA Organic, vegan, and other certifications<br />• Bag includes recipes for use<br />• Double-packaged with a bag of the alum inside of a paper, resealable bag<br />• Decent value of level of quality<br /><br />CONS<br />• Often, alum is ground to a fine powder. At least half of this alum, however, is like what you would expect of coarse sea salt—not a powder, as described. Get out the mortar and pestle, and you shouldn’t have any trouble making a fine powder for deodorant mixtures, dying, and other common uses. This downside is not significant enough for me to strip away a star, but buyers should be aware of the coarser-than-usual alum.
