What is tawas?

Tawas is the tagalog term for alum, a chemically hydrated aluminum potassium sulfate that possesses a specific crystal shape. Tawas or alum (common English name) has a chemical formula KAl(SO4)2·12H2O.   It is non-toxic, has somewhat a sweet acidic taste that dissolves easily in water and reacts with acid. There are several types of tawas in the market like potassium alum, soda alum, ammonium alum and aluminum alum, but the more common is the potassium alum that most can buy in botika or health stores and from street vendors near churches in the Philippines.

Tawas or alum has varieties of uses. Tawas has industrial, cosmetic, culinary applications as well as some medicinal and health benefits.

Welcome Bran... gi search ra na nako.. there other uses of tawas pod like panglugod kadtong crystal gyud niya, kanang naa sa sudlanan powder na mana... makatanggal gyud ug buling hahaha... what i did, maghumol ko ug tawas powder sa tubig then kuha sponge tapos lugod.. pero dili daily kay basin manipis na ang panit... hahahaha

he he he, tinuod diay ang saying, "ask and it shall be given unto you..."

its a good antiseptic and astringent. because of the antiseptic abilities, it can inhibit odiferous bacteria , which normally colonize the axillary region (armpit), and thus, significantly inhibit body odor smell.

to answer mike's question: yes, alum can be used as an excellent, and more cost-effective form of deodorant.

the only thing to take into consideration is that chronic use can lead to irritation to the integumentary system (skin).

commercial deodorant has bad side effects. nothing to worry about tawas as far as i know.
