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.

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

Good Base, Irritating Scent

"The texture of this product is nice, not too gritty or oily like a lot of natural deodorants end up being. It didn't help prevent sweating, but I expected as much. HOWEVER, I immediately got a migraine and itchy feeling after putting it on. I know I can be more sensitive to fragrance, so I only dinged it two stars. But if you're expecting this to be a natural smelling product, I'd skip. Smells like a synthetic fragranced product you'd pick up in Sephora."

— Maya (3/5)

Pleasantly surprised

"In my experience, the natural or rub on deodorants never impress me. They either smell a little off (not sure if it’s the ingredients that are added to help prevent the sweat/smell or just the same old generic scents people think a deodorant should smell like), they are uncomfortable (a lot I have tried almost seem to make me sweat MORE), don’t have smaller sizes for traveling or carrying in a purse, or are not easily accessible (online or in stores). This one was a winning combo for me! AKT and Credo was a match made in heaven. I was able to try a travel size since I’ve never used AKT and didn’t know how I would like it or the scent and Credo offered the travel size AND free shipping. (And I love that they carry items that are natural and healthier for you. ) I’m SO grateful to Credo for coming through for the win! And I LOVE the AKT deodorant. I got the SC.04 Halcyon Summers scent and it’s so lovely and unique. Will definitely be purchasing the larger size for home AND travel size to bring with me whenever needed. I am one happy customer."

— Erin B. (5/5)

Actually works

"I have tried a lot of different natural deodorants and so far this one is the most effective one I’ve used. I’m not a huge fan of this particular scent profile but it’s been very humid and hot and my pits have been dry all day! Only a small amount is needed and it really does turn to a powdery consistency as it melts into the skin. I will definitely purchase again!"

— Cat D. (4/5)

Something Changed

"I’m not sure if the formula changed or my body has changed with pregnancy but it’s no longer keeping up with keeping body odor away"

— Amanda S. (3/5)

changed my life

"I recently moved to New Orleans from Southern California. Wildly different climates. My name brand cougholdspicecough deodorant could not handle the heat, literally. My hg pulled me aside one day and said 'baby you stink put this on' and boom, life changed. I thought it was my hormones or something, nope, just trash deodorant. This stuff is the real deal. Got the sunblock stick too because I work outdoors and that shit is for real good. Take care of yourselves babes! No one else will MUAH"

— Alicia L. (5/5)
