YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

How do I apply the balm deodorant?

Unscrew the cap and pierce the seal, we recommend using a pen. Squeeze a pea-sized amount on your finger or The Applicator and massage the balm into your underarms like a moisturiser. It absorbs instantly. But don’t stop there – feet, forehead, chest – apply anywhere you need effective protection!

How long does a tube last & how often should I apply?

Our starting recommendation is a pea-size amount to each underarm once a day. Preferably on freshly showered skin. 1 50ml tube lasts 6 weeks on average, 5ml tubes 5-7 days, and is delivered every 6 weeks with our subscription offering. If you need more or less you can customise how frequently you’d like it delivered in your account. Easy.

What is a natural deodorant?

Natural deodorants, like AKT’s The Deodorant Balm, use sweat absorbing powders like arrowroot and diatomaceous earth, which sit on top of the skin to absorb sweat and neutralise odours with essential oils, rather than blocking your pores with aluminium or harsh chemicals. Antiperspirants use aluminium salts to block sweat glands. While this may sound useful, sweating is a natural bodily function that helps cool us down — the cooler you are, the less you’ll sweat. Yes, we know, you don’t want to sweat too much, but a little bit is okay!

Will it stop me from sweating?

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. If haven't used a natural deodorant before, we'd recommend you take a read of our How to Make the Switch blog to get you clued up on the transition period. If you are new to natural deodorant, transitioning from conventional antiperspirants to natural deodorants can sometimes lead to an initial increase in sweating. This is perfectly normal and indicates your body's natural detoxification process. As your body adjusts to our natural formula, you'll likely notice a decrease in sweating again. This adjustment period can vary from a few days to a few weeks after making the switch.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, we are a natural deodorant brand, but if you have sensitive skin, we highly recommend checking the ingredients on each of our product pages for any known allergens. We also have a fragrance-free version of our Deodorant Balm called SC.00 No Notes.

All of our fragranced offerings contain essential oils. Although the levels are well within regulated limits, some people may be sensitive to our fragrance blend, particularly on underarm skin, which is one of the most delicate areas on the body. Skin reactions are often triggered by allergens in fragrances, many of which derive from essential oils. Despite their natural origin, these can be potent allergens. AKT deodorants meet IFRA standards for fragrance safety, making them ideal for those seeking vegan and cruelty-free skincare options. Everyone's skin is different, and although we have thousands of happy customers, a small percentage may find our formula too sensitive for their skin.

It’s worth noting that on rare occasions, some customers may be sensitive to sodium bicarbonate, which is in our formulation. It's a terrific ingredient for deodorising, and although we use it at extremely low levels without compromising its effectiveness, some customers may be sensitive to it. We have written a blog on debunking the myths about sodium bicarbonate, which you can read more about here. Sometimes underarm skin can become irritated for various reasons. If any customers do notice a reaction, we recommend stopping the use of the product until the skin has healed.

HOW TO AKT

Pierce the seal with The Assistant. 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. 1 tube lasts 6-8 weeks.

  • Created and tested on dancers, not animals – to withstand 8 shows a week under hot stage lights. protection doesn’t get better than this.

AKT finally a natural deodorant that works

I've been searching for a natural deodorant that actually works all day without reapplying, and I'm so glad I found AKT. It keeps me feeling fresh clean and smelling great all day through tough days in office and after work gym and no bad BO smell without any irritation. It's a natural deodorant so any perspiration is minimal for me but clothes are not stained a little goes a long way and fragrance is nice. If you want something that's aluminium free, quality and plastic free it really is the best deodorant I've ever used. The assistant is a must to have and using the applicator tool is a nice touch. Highly recommend!

The Best deodorant balm !

I am very fussy about deodorant and for a long time been testing out non toxic and metal free ones. Some did the job but left marks on all my clothes. While others left me smelling by the end of the day. AKY balm is fantastic it rubs on no marks and keeps me fresh till the next day ! I love this balm and now have my son on it at uni who also loves it. I have introduced it to my younger daughter who is starting to need to use a deodorant and the fact it’s metal and toxin free is everything! Highly recommend AKT I was a little doubtful and sat on the fence for far too long ! Get it you won’t be disappointed!

Excellent product. Lasts for a very long time because you only need to apply it once daily to smell great all day long even after a heavy workout. Highly recommend this brand!🫰🏼

Honestly love this deodorant

Santal Nomad Ltd Edition

Mmm yummy scent, perfect for autumn and winter. Spicy and woody with a sweet warmth.
AKT is my saviour after years of smelly pits no deodorant could conquer. It really bloody works! 💪 Bonus is I've not yet found a scent I don't like. I like my products to smell like an expensive spa but don't usually have the budget. I'm never giving up AKT though, it's a new standard which I'm not prepared to drop!
My favourite is the no1 Orange Grove but honestly, I want them all! Just had to try this Santal Nomad limited edition as it sounded right up my street. Was not disappointed, thank you AKT for being my dream product ✨️ 💖

I’m an AKT convert!…

I was previously using another well-known natural deodorant brand, but over time I found it was leaving marks on my clothes. Since switching to AKT, that’s no longer a problem — but even better, it works about 10x better and smells AMAZING!

I actually started with the sample pack and honestly loved every single scent, which made choosing one pretty difficult :).

Safe to say, I’m an AKT convert for life!

Still there, even after the longest dancing days.

I teach ballet for a living, on my feet all day, most days in a leotard. Deodorant either works or it doesn’t, and most things I’ve tried don’t hold up past the first two hours of class.

This does. A full day of teaching, several classes back to back, and no wear-off, no marks on the fabric. Other natural deodorants I’ve tried tend to cake onto clothes. This one goes on smoothly and leaves no trace. No toxins is a huge green flag for me.

I’ve tried my way through all the scents ( the mini pack is good for this) and there isn’t one I don’t like. Lots of deos I find cloying, this is subtle. That suits me.
I’ve got it on subscription now, and the subscription is flexible, so you can pause it if you have too much stockpiled. Though I also like to gift it. All those who have tried it are now converts.

Finally - an aluminium-free deodorant that works!

I’ve tried all sorts of low-chemical deodorants over the years, and the London Underground wasn’t the best place to find that they didn’t work!

Finally, I’m delighted to have discovered AKT. These lovely deodorant balms have subtle aromatherapy-inspired fragrances and, most importantly, they actually work! At last, a natural deodorant I can rely on to keep me feeling fresh and fragrant all day.

Finally, the Holy Grail of Natural Deodorants!

I’ve been looking for a natural deodorant for years. I tried absolutely everything with no luck until I found the Deodorant Balm SC.00. It worked perfectly from the very first application, and it didn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. It’s highly effective, gentle, and a real pleasure to wear. I'm completely sold!

Born to Perform

I love the deodorant balms .. I’m a professional musician … I’ve been on tour most of this year & these products are all I use… I need nothing more . I’ve turned my boys onto them (23& 21) right at the age where that demographic use those nasty sprays & they drown themselves in scent !

Silky smooth

Portable, discreet, lovely fragrances, silky smooth texture and kind to delicate skin, but strong enough to last all day. Just perfect!
