Why StyptiQ

The styptic pencil, evolved.

Pencils crack. Sticks roll away. Powder is faster, lasts longer, and works on cuts a pencil can't reach.

Under 10 seconds

Tap a pinch of powder onto a fresh cut. Pressure for five seconds. Done.

One clean ingredient

100% pharmaceutical-grade potassium alum. No fragrances. No fillers. Nothing else.

Lasts forever

A 2 oz tin runs the average barber 4–6 months and the home shaver about a year.

Travel-ready tin

Slim aluminum tin fits in a Dopp kit, a tackle box, a glove compartment.

Made in the USA

Common questions

The short answers.

How is this different from a styptic pencil?+
Same active ingredient (potassium alum), different form factor. Powder works on cuts a pencil can't reach, doesn't crack, doesn't need water to activate, and one tin lasts 5–10× as long as a pencil.
Does it sting?+
A little — same mild sting as any styptic. It's brief (1–2 seconds) and goes away the moment the bleeding stops.
Is it safe?+
Yes — for minor shaving nicks and cuts. 100% potassium alum is a natural mineral salt that's been used in shaving for over a century. For external use only; deep cuts need medical attention.
How long does a tin last?+
A 2 oz tin lasts a long time. For a home shaver, roughly a year. For a working barber, several months of heavy use.
