Verdan, a leading supplier of natural potassium alum and a premier contract manufacturer of crystal deodorant, announced that it has partnered with DKSH for worldwide distribution of the raw material, Kalunite potassium alum.
Kalunite is micronized potassium alum powder, and is used in health and beauty product formulations to provide natural odor prevention. Just recently, Kalunite was validated and approved by Ecocert to be used as a raw material in the formulation of cosmetics certified according to the Natural and Organic Ecocert standards.

“The new partnership for distribution will allow Verdan to expand its supply network of natural potassium alum to companies around the globe,” said Verdan founder Francis Verdan. “Furthermore, the first class service and support provided by DKSH proves critical in meeting global demand for an increasing natural product market.”
The recent validation of Kalunite potassium alum as a natural raw material allows customers to formulate natural cosmetics and personal care products with an approved active deodorant ingredient. Furthermore, Verdan’s natural potassium alum has been declared a 24 hour effective active deodorant ingredient by the Dermscan Group via clinical tests, making it an equally effective alternative to chemically derived ingredients.
Additionally, the micronized state of Kalunite allows for a variety of formulations, including use in aerosol and spray products. Verdan formulates MineralProtect, the patented natural deodorant spray, with Kalunite, and the result is a 100% natural, totally invisible, 24 hour effective deodorant.
“DKSH sees a bright future in the newly established strategic partnership, and aims to distribute Kalunite potassium alum in new territories and help grow Verdan’s business in new markets as the leading global provider of Market Expansion Services,” said the DKSH Personal Care and Cosmetic Team.
