Why we stand behind it
IN REHEARSAL FOR 16 YEARS
Inspired by the years AKT's founders spent crafting their technique and conditioning their bodies in ballet class, The Body Conditioning Balm delivers performance like no other moisturizer on the market. Fortified with cutting edge ingredients like GATULINE IN-TENSE MB**, clinically proven to firm and tighten skin by stimulating fibroblast cell activity to produce collagen deep within the extra-cellular matrix.
**GATULINE IN-TENSE MB is the registered trademark of personal care ingredient developers, Gattefossé. (No, not the Broadway choreographer).
Key ingredients
GATULINE IN-TENSE MB: Clinically proven to help boost collagen production within the deep layers of the skin, visibly firming and smoothing skin.
SHEA BUTTER: Intensely moisturizes, leaving skin soft and supple with long-lasting hydration.
LACTIC ACID: Exfoliates gently, promoting cell turnover for brighter, more even-toned skin.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Fragrance
SC.05 EXT. COLUMBIA ROAD Early Sunday morning. Lemon sunlight peeks sleepily over the terraces of the bustling flower market. Street sellers call; their stalls a riot of violet and amber blooms. The scent of freshly cut stems and good coffee. With a smile you melt into the crowd. AT FIRST Zesty lemon, cut stems, cold skies AND THEN Iris, violet leaf, warm hands on a coffee cup FINALLY Amber, tonka bean. A perfect Sunday

In 2015, Ed Currie and Andy Coxon met performing in a show in London’s West End - the “British Broadway”. Their grueling schedule was intensely physical; eight shows a week, dancing under hot lights, a dressing room five flights away from the stage — and no lift. That’s not to mention the rehearsals, classes, and training during the day.
Mainstream deodorants just weren’t cutting it.
Antiperspirants stained their clothes, didn’t stop the sweat, and made them smell like teenage boys. Natural deodorants left them smelling like B.O after only a few hours. So they decided to create one themselves.
The Deodorant Balm is packaged in aluminum tubes (including the cap!) ideal for their durability, portability, and recyclability.
AKT is designed with efficacy, strong environmental ethics, and premium fragrances at its forefront. Tried, tested and approved by London's West End performers, The Deodorant Balm is a premium, natural deodorant that is truly... BORN TO PERFORM.
