History of Osma Laboratories

For more than 50 years, Osma Laboratories has utilized the ancient wisdom and knowledge of alum production and still adheres to traditional methods to keep its minerals pure.

The benefits of the alum stone have been known for centuries and have been used for medicinal purposes since the 19th century. Alum has a blood-stopping effect and is therefore often used to stop small wounds that bleed after shaving.

Alum stone also has the ability to reduce inflammation, which means a closer shave and less irritated skin for you. It is soothing to the skin after shaving and reduces the risk of redness. This natural mineral has been used by barbers after shaving for many years. Osma Alum Stone is known worldwide to effectively relieve post-shave problems.
