In the world of natural skincare, few products carry the heritage and proven effectiveness of Bloc Hyalin by Féret Parfumeur. First created in France in the 19th century, this unique crystal stone has been treasured for generations as a natural deodorant, aftershave treatment, and skincare essential. Unlike synthetic alternatives, Bloc Hyalin is composed of pure mineral salts, offering a clean, simple, and effective ritual that reflects Féret Parfumeur’s long-standing commitment to French apothecary tradition.

Whether you are discovering it for the first time or revisiting a product your grandparents may have used, Bloc Hyalin stands as a testament to how natural solutions can withstand the test of time.

The History of Bloc Hyalin

Founded in 1878, Féret Parfumeur quickly earned a reputation for creating trustworthy products that married elegance with efficacy. Among their earliest innovations was Bloc Hyalin, a natural alum stone carved into a smooth, crystal-like block.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, alum blocks became staples in barbershops and households across Europe. They were prized for their ability to tighten pores, soothe skin after shaving, and neutralize body odors without perfumes or chemicals. Féret Parfumeur preserved this legacy by crafting their Bloc Hyalin from 100% natural potassium alum, mined and refined according to traditional methods.

Today, while many modern deodorants are filled with additives and artificial fragrances, Féret Parfumeur continues to offer Bloc Hyalin in its purest form, unchanged for over 145 years.

What Makes Bloc Hyalin Unique

Not all alum stones are created equal. Féret Parfumeur’s Bloc Hyalin stands apart because:

• 100% Natural : Composed of pure potassium alum with no additives or artificial fragrances.
• Multi-Purpose : Functions as a natural deodorant, aftershave treatment, skin purifier, and even as a remedy for minor cuts.
• Eco-Friendly : A single block can last for months (sometimes even years), making it a sustainable alternative to disposable deodorant sticks or sprays.
• Heritage Quality : Produced by one of France’s oldest family-run apothecary houses, ensuring authenticity and craftsmanship.

For customers seeking products that are both luxurious and practical, Bloc Hyalin is a small investment with long-lasting results.

How to Use Bloc Hyalin

As a Natural Deodorant

1. Lightly moisten the stone with water.
2. Apply directly to clean skin under the arms.
3. Allow to dry before dressing.
   The mineral salts form an invisible layer that neutralizes odor-causing bacteria, keeping you fresh all day without blocking pores.

As an Aftershave Treatment

1. After shaving, wet the stone and glide it gently across the shaved area.
2. The alum helps to close pores, reduce redness, and stop minor bleeding from nicks.
3. Leave on for a cooling, soothing finish.

For Minor Cuts or Skin Irritations

• Gently rub the damp stone over the affected area. Its antiseptic qualities help disinfect and speed recovery.

For Oily Skin Care

• Use as a natural toner: dampen and apply to the T-zone to help tighten pores and reduce excess oil.

Benefits of Using Bloc Hyalin

• Fragrance-Free: Perfect for sensitive skin and for layering with your favorite niche fragrances from Oak Manor Fragrances.
• Hypoallergenic: Minimal risk of irritation since it contains no perfumes or synthetic preservatives.
• Long-Lasting Value: A single Bloc Hyalin outperforms dozens of traditional deodorant sticks.
• Travel-Friendly: Compact and solid—ideal for those who prefer to travel light.
