Top Questions
We've tested our formula on over 1000 professional dancers and athletes. Because we've only received positive feedback, we fully believe this is the best deodorant on the market.
Antiperspirant contains Aluminium Chlorohydrate, which blocks your sweat ducts to stop you sweating. This ingredient has come under a lot of fire recently with supposed links to Cancer and Alzheimers disease. The aluminium in antiperspirant is what causes that white/yellow stain on your clothing also. Deodorant eliminates odours associated with sweat and absorbs natural perspiration to keep you feeling dry.
Our formulation contains no aluminium chlorohydrate so will not block your sweat ducts to stop you sweating. However our formula contains Deo-Barrier Complex™️ to absorb your natural perspiration to keep you feeling dry and fresh all day.
We are one of the only companies in the world using aluminium caps over plastic caps for our tubes. This means that you'll need to pierce the seal of the tube yourself. We recommend using a pen.

In our factory in the UK
While we have done everything we can to formulate with as little sodium bicarbonate as possible, very few may experience a reaction to this ingredient. If this occurs please discontinue using the product and let us know at customer@aktlondon.com.
However, we do have good news. We are launching a sensitive version of our Deodorant Balm later this year. If you'd like to be on the waiting list for this product, please sign up here.
Applicator
Please watch our video here.
Our Applicators are made from the finest, premium brass. Brass will naturally oxidise over time, especially when in contact with moisture. You may experience oxidation spots appearing on your applicator. This is normal and will not affect your experience.
You can easily clean your applicator in seconds using household items such as bicarb and lemon juice, or our favourite... tomato ketchup (sexy)! Apply to a cloth and rub all over. Then rinse it off. Brand new.
