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.

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

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)

AKT is simply the best

"I have been using AKT deodorant exclusively for over one year now and it’s simply the best. While Halcyon Summers is not my absolute favorite of the bunch I do love it for summer."

— Aleksandra M. (5/5)

Smells+great+!

"The+deodorant+left+me+stinky+in+the+armpits,+but+this+can+be+an+all+over+deodorant,+and+that’s+how+it+works+for+me. +"

— Jody R. (4/5)

New favorite deodorant

"Finally, an all natural deodorant that works for me - even through a 90 min hot yoga class."

— Molly D. (5/5)

Lovely smell

"Such a pretty sophisticated smell for spring/summer but I find the Orange Grove scent to work better with my body chemistry. Love that I can but the small travel/sample sizes so I can figure out which scent works best for me"

— Jordan S. (4/5)

AKT deodorant balm

"I seriously love this stuff!! It’s super light and seriously works! Stayed fresh while doing 7 hours of yoga teacher training!"

— Sydney S. (5/5)

Exactly as advertised

"I've been a natural deo user for years. No matter how good the smell from whichever you choose they all eventually lose their deo strength by the end of the day and i stink. but this one omg its true what they say- you'll still sweat but u WONT STINK by the end of the day. its crazy how well it works. im a nervous sweater and through it all when i get home i give the pits a whiff and still smells non-offensive. will def be purchsing again. it is expensive tho i must say. but we'll see how long it lasts, maybe itll justify the price"

— J R. (5/5)

Love!

"Been using this for over a year now and it’s a very effective deodorant and I like that I can pop into my local credo and grab it!"

— Jodene J. (5/5)

The only natural deodorant that

"The only natural deodorant that doesn't make me smell like rancid BO at the end of the day. Unfortunately it does cause terrible yellowing under the arms of white shirts, so I avoid that."

— Lori C. (4/5)

Great scent, but I prefer clearer deodorants

"If you like cream deodorants, this is fantastic. It smells great and works well. However, I prefer a lighter, clearer solution."

— Rebecca M. (4/5)
