Product Overview

Looking for genuine Red Alum, known locally as Phitkari Surkh or Fitkari Surkh? Our red alum is a naturally occurring mineral crystal, distinguished by its reddish-pink hue, which comes from trace iron content within the alum structure.

About Phitkari Surkh (Red Alum)

Alum (Phitkari) is a naturally occurring mineral compound that has been used for centuries across the region for its astringent properties. While white alum is more commonly known for everyday use like aftershave application and water purification, Red Alum (Surkh Phitkari) — with its natural reddish tint from mineral impurities, primarily iron — has traditionally held a distinct place in Unani medicine, where it has been used as an ingredient in topical formulations and traditional remedies prepared by hakims.

Red alum is also traditionally used in some household and personal care practices, including as a natural astringent for topical application, though its primary traditional recognition remains within Unani herbal-mineral formulation practice.

Traditional & Practical Uses

• Unani Formulations – Used by traditional hakims as an ingredient in topical preparations
• Topical Astringent – Traditionally applied in small amounts for its natural astringent, tightening properties
• Household Use – Used in some traditional water-clarifying practices
• Traditional Skincare – Featured in some traditional topical skin-care routines, typically diluted or ground into powder form

Important Safety Note

Red Alum is a natural mineral and should be used in the traditional, well-established manner. For topical use, it is recommended to use in small, diluted amounts and to perform a patch test before wider application, as individual skin sensitivity varies. It is not intended for internal consumption unless specifically prepared and directed by a qualified hakim or healthcare provider. Avoid use on broken or irritated skin, and keep away from eyes. Not recommended for use on children without professional guidance. Please consult a qualified practitioner for formulation-specific use. This listing is for the sale of raw mineral material only and does not constitute medical advice.

How It’s Packed

Each batch of Red Alum is:

• Sourced from trusted mineral suppliers
• Checked for natural color, crystal quality, and purity
• Packed in moisture-resistant, sealed packaging
• Stored in a dry environment to prevent clumping or degradation

Suggested Use

For topical or traditional use, Red Alum is typically ground into a fine powder and used in small quantities as directed by traditional practice or a qualified practitioner. Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed, to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect the crystal’s texture over time.
