As I navigate peri-menopause, one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced has been the biological changes that left me smelling less than fresh after a long day — especially following late-night rehearsals or performances. As a professional opera singer in NYC, I used to carry multiple natural deodorants in my bag, trying to mask the hormonal funkiness that came with this stage of life.
When I received my first deodorant balm from AKT, I decided to test it overnight. Normally, I would wake up sweaty and smelling off after battling night sweats, and my partner would tease me about it in the morning. But after using AKT, I woke up dry and smelling good. That gave me the confidence to try it during a performance.
After a two-hour opera performance — followed by an evening of hugging attendees while wearing a sweat-soaked costume — I realized something amazing: not a single moment of funk, no embarrassment, and no fear of being close to people. AKT kept me dry, fresh, and confident.
I’m an instant fan.
