This work deals with the use of alum in cosmetics, perfumes, corporal adorn-ment, and body care in the Iberian Peninsula during the Late Middle Ages. The issue is explored through the examination of several manuscripts (fifteenth and sixteenth centuries) from Spanish libraries, such as the National Library (Madrid) and the Columbine Library (Seville), which hold collections of recipes that explain the use of alum in skin care, teeth and gums, hair-dyeing and bad breath. These uses demonstrate that medieval society was aware of the bactericide, deodorant, astringent, and mordant properties of alum, as well as the importance granted to products related to body care and aesthetics. Ce texte traite de l’utilisation de l’alun dans les cosmétiques, les parfums, la beauté et les soins du la péninsule ibérique la Moyen Âge. La question est explorée à travers l’examen de plusieurs manuscrits des xv e et xvi e siècles de bibliothèques espagnoles, telles que la Bibliothèque nationale (Madrid) et la Bibliothèque colombine (Séville), qui détiennent des collections de recettes expliquant l’utilisation de l’alun dans les soins de la peau, des dents et des gencives, pour la teinture des cheveux et contre la mauvaise haleine. Ces usages démontrent que la société médiévale était consciente des propriétés bac-téricides, déodorantes, astringentes et mordantes de l’alun, ainsi que de l’impor-tance accordée aux produits liés aux soins corporels et à la beauté.
