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.
