Styptic pencil without aluminium ?

[Externet]

Hi. 

As am taking blood  thinner medicine and often get skin cuts; I would like to know if there is one styptic pencil preferably made without aluminium.  Do you know ?

Have you tried a couple of splashes of cold water, along with a little tissue paper? I take 81 mg of aspirin/day and don't have to do more than cold water, but I realize something like Warfarin may require something stronger. 

Witch Hazel has an astringent property to tighten the skin without alum, but it's liquid and that can interfere with clotting. 

If you're taking a prescription blood thinner, perhaps you could ask your doctor's office what to do about shaving/paper cuts. They may have better info on the introduction of aluminum through an open wound as well.
