Why we stand behind it

Tested and perfected on stage in London’s West End and on Broadway, AKT's revolutionary, aluminum-salts free formula transforms from a luxurious, skin-nourishing balm into a dry, invisible powder: actively protecting, deodorizing, and absorbing perspiration to keep you feeling dry and confident – without breaking character. Ever.

Aluminium metal (which is used in AKT packaging) is not the same as aluminum chlorohydrate, a salt commonly found in antiperspirants.
AKT states that their “aluminum metal does not disintegrate or dissolve into the formula and chemically react to turn into the salt- meaning, the packaging doesn't affect the product”

Key ingredients

DEO-BARRIER COMPLEX™: AKT’s proprietary blend of natural plant and mineral powders, which rest invisibly on the skin to absorb odors and natural perspiration – without blocking your sweat glands.

CALENDULA OIL: Calms and soothes irritated skin, known to help with reducing redness and inflammation caused by razor burn.

SHEA BUTTER: Highly moisturising to soften and smooth the skin. Beneficial for dry and damaged skin due to its high content of vitamins and fatty acids.

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.

Pierce the seal using The Assistant (sold separately) or a pen. Squeeze a small amount of The Deodorant Balm on your finger or The Applicator and massage onto freshly cleansed skin – underarms, forehead, feet or chest – anywhere you need effective, all day protection.

For the travel size: Break off the nozzle and use it as a plug to reseal. Squeeze a pea-sized amount on your finger or The Applicator and massage onto clean skin – underarms, forehead, chest – anywhere you need effective, all day protection.

Pro-tip

Use your fingers or The Applicator to massage into the skin to encourage lymphatic drainage and micro-circulation around your underarms, chest and neck.

AKT

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.

Reviews

New Fav Deodorant

"I've been using Corpus Naturals for years, but moved to a climate with a hot, humid summer and was looking for something different. This does the trick! I'm sensitive to any deodorants with baking soda, but understand this one has a low % and had no reaction when I sampled it. Keeps me dryer longer, and the onsen smell is so good. I thought I wouldn't like the application as I've always used stick, but now I think of it as a lymphatic massage and enjoy the self-application. Highly recommend!"

— Allison R. (5/5)

"The smell is delicious! It works in everyday life - errands and chores. Unfortunately I have not had a chance to test it at the gym yet. But for daily wear it's a 10."

— Susie (5/5)

Smells great !

"Great natural deo that works and smells lovely. It is lightly scented, easy to apply and great for sensitive skin. Really recommend."

— Eleanor N. (5/5)

Smells delicious and works great!

"Love this product, have used it for over a year and it's the best I've come across. It can take a little bit of time for your skin to get used to the mandelic acid but I'm glad I stuck with it :)"

— Brooke M. (5/5)

Best aluminum free deodorant I

"Best aluminum free deodorant I have tried, and I have tried a lot!"

— Zina P. (5/5)

My all time favorite

"The only brand that has me still smelling the scent by the end of the day. Took a minute to get used to the application style, but I have stocked up and dont plan to switch back."

— Bryce (5/5)

Surprisingly effective

"I love the scent- super fresh (I’d love this scent in a body lotion). And it’s the longest lasting of any clean deodorants I’ve tried. Highly recommend!"

— Jolie G. (5/5)

Strong smell

"I really liked the 01 scent, which was out of stock. This one is much stronger and I’m a bit disappointed."

— Kate G. (3/5)

Smells great

"Smells amazing! Really liked this product at first, but my body got used to this product too quickly and it lost its effectiveness"

— Val (3/5)

Works really well

"I have tried so many natural deodorants that have failed. This has been the best to date. Some minor complaints about the packaging. Even with the tool you lose a lot of product at the end. I have cut it open but it’s sharp and hard to access. It can be hard to control how much comes out when you roll the tool. Also it’s really messy and hard to remove from your fingers after applying. That said the scents are great and it works better than the majority of others on the market."

— Cara P. (4/5)
