This question concerns your deodorant stone. I only recently became aware that it contains aluminum. Your website contains the statement "Other Ingredients: Aluminum Sulfate*. Please explain.
Topically applied naturally occurring aluminum crystals are minimally absorbed, typically less than 0.015%.1 The form found in the stones (aluminum sulfate, or "alum salt") is considered less likely to cause skin problems than the forms of aluminum found in commercial deodorants/antiperspirants (aluminum chloride, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex etc.) and have lower absorption potential, two reasons why the stones have become popular.
