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.
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.

Usage
Pierce the seal (we recommend using 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.
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.
