Abstract: A liquid crystal deodorant is produced by dissolving a powdered crystalline double sulfate of aluminum (alum) in a saturated solution of water, or a combination of water and alcohol, preferably denatured ethanol. The deodorant then is applied in any suitable fashion to provide odor control, particularly for underarm and foot odor control purposes.

Abstract: A package for dispensing solid products, such as solid crystal deodorant, includes a first hollow main body portion having a uniform cross section throughout its length. Both ends of the package are open; and a slide member is located within the main body portion. The bottom end of the main body portion of the package has an inwardly turned flange to prevent the movement of the slide member outwardly from the main body portion through the bottom end. The solid crystal deodorant is mounted on the slide member, and is configured to freely move from the bottom end of the main body portion outwardly through the upper end. Drain holes are placed through the slide member to permit fluid, such as water, to pass downwardly from the sides of the crystal deodorant and out through the holes when the package is stored in an upright position. A chamber in the slide member is filled with a sponge-like material for receiving fluid which passes from the crystal deodorant through the holes in the slide member.
