Review (3/5): Product failed but that might be user error not a faulty product
This review is for "Herbs Botanica Alum Powder Alumbre Potassium Alum Fitkari Fatkari For Skin." It asks for a star rating for "flavor" but the packaging specifically says you aren't supposed to consume this product orally so I have no idea how good it tastes.
Okay, I got this specifically to grow crystals. You can make crystals with alum powder! I tried three different times and it didn't work any time I tried. Is it the alum powder's fault? My fault? The weather? I have no idea. That's the trouble with reviewing a product like this - if it doesn't work, is it the product's fault or is it user error - did I measure something wrong, does it just not work well when it's cold out? I have no idea.
So I decided to give it 3 stars - average. Because it does appear to be alum powder, but it being inside a plastic bag instead of another plastic bag seemed stupid and wasteful, and it didn't work for my purposes but as I said I don't know if that was my fault or the product's fault. For the price I think it's worth taking a risk on this, maybe you'll have better luck.
