HOW TO AKT

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

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 tube lasts 6 weeks on average 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.

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.

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!

How do I apply the balm deodorant?

Pierce the seal with The Assistant or a pen. 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 1~2 months.

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.

AKT 🏆

Every now and again you catch a whiff of that stinging BO smell and you find yourself wondering who the heck smells bad, because its me! The real test was my husband, it didn't matter how many times he would apply his deodorant, he was pungent by mid-day. We've both been using AKT now for almost a year and its made such a difference! His parents both commented on how wonderful he smelled and even switched themselves. I no longer have to hold my breath to wash his shirts. And when I hug him after a long day I know his BO wont be a problem. Just amazing products!

Best Deodorant ever!

I have tried nearly every brand of natural deodorant & this is by far the best one! It isn’t greasy, doesn’t leave stains on my clothes, works for over 24 hrs & the scents are perfect. Thank you thank you thank you for making a product that doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin! 🙌🏼✨🙏🏼

The unicorn I've been searching for!

I've been eyeing this deo foreverrrr because I've cycled my way through nearly every non-toxic, sustainably packaged deodorant there is looking for my unicorn. I think this has finally nailed everything I was hoping for! The packaging is wonderful, the product works AMAZING, and the scent is sooo good and complex. I've used it for a few weeks and was coming off a rash from a different natural deo, and it cleared right up within a few days of switching to this. So far it has lasted me on long busy days and kept we fresh all the way through without having to reapply. Something unexpected and appreciated is the scent profile- other deos tend to be flat and aggressively smell like one singular thing, however this scent feels layered and complex. Overall I have been extremely pleased with this deodorant (I'm super picky), and can't wait to try some of the other scents!

Discovery Set

I wanted the set so I could try the new scent! Santal Nomad is a bit masculine for me, but still fabulous. Now I know I’ll keep love love loving the Lavender!!

This works!!

Never did I ever think I could switch from my aluminum deodorant, even though I wanted to. I had tried other non-traditional deodorants and all fell a little short. I tried just wearing AKT overnight. I was amazed. I tried again on a low-stakes day where I could monitor the effectiveness. This was it!! I threw away my aluminum deodorant and this is what I recommend to friends looking to switch. The orange scent is my favorite. It’s also nice to have it on a subscription.

BEST natural deodorant for my teen girl!

I had no luck finding something that could withstand 4 hour dance rehearsals for my daughter. AKT is the bomb! Now she dances with confidence — no sweat! Wait, yes sweat… just no stink!!!

I love it been using for a week arms feel better

I have never used a balm under my arms until now. I have now replaced my old deodorant. I like like it does not leave a residue, it is good for sensitive skin, the scent last all day. I can use it anywhere on my body,I have used other balms on face and arms and legs. I feel pampered now.

This one is my favorite scent so far

I love this one and it fits my natural scent sooooooo well !

Hello Sara,

Thanks for reaching out and I’m really sorry your tube’s not performing as it should.

What you’re seeing is called syneresis — a completely natural process where the balm’s ingredients can separate slightly, especially after changes in temperature. It’s totally safe and doesn’t affect the efficacy of the formula, but we know it’s not ideal.

We’ve taken steps to help, like strengthening our tubes and adding a silicone disc inside the cap to create a better seal. There are also a few things you can do to help prevent leaks:
Wipe the cap and thread regularly — leftover product here can stop the cap sealing properly.

Screw the cap on tight after each use.

Store in a cool, dry place to keep things stable.
When wiping the cap, you might notice grey marks on the tissue — that’s just a bit of aluminium dust and it’s completely safe. Our aluminium caps are a sustainable alternative to plastic — and we’re actually the only brand using them this way. Rest assured, every part of our packaging goes through rigorous testing to meet EU safety standards (some of the strictest in the world), so you’re in safe hands.

If you’re able to share the batch code (you’ll find it on the crimped end of the tube), that would be a huge help behind the scenes.

And to say thanks for bearing with us, here’s 15% off your next order: TE0NZP (valid on single products and subscriptions, not bundles or sets).

Thanks again for your support — and for sticking with us as we try to do things better.

Take care,

Super Impressed

After having radiation treatment for breast cancer, my under arm was so extremely sore that I couldn’t use a traditional deodorant. It hurt so bad. I searched for a clean cream deodorant and found AKT, London and am forever grateful.

Oh Hello! Menopausal woman honest review!

As a 62-year-old in menopause, I can attest that AKT deodorant is a total lifesaver. I tried a few other brands, but AKT is by far the best. It keeps my armpits dry even in humid, subtropical NYC, and the fragrances are soft enough to last without interfering with my regular perfume.

I don’t usually subscribe to beauty products, but I am already on my 10th tube. I recommend starting with the starter pack to see which scent works best with your body chemistry. I switch up the 3 fragrances that work best, currently on an Orange Grove streak.

Small caveat, removing the metal seal is annoying, it needs a lip. Or better yet I would love to see a refillable jar.

This stuff works!

Dallas just set a record for the most September days above 100 degrees, AND I STILL SMELL FANTASTIC. This deodorant is legit. And unlike everything else I’ve tried, the scent is actually sophisticated and appealing. So many other brands end up smelling sickly sweet or like wet dog after a while, but AKT has my pits smelling elegant even the next day. Quality product. Well worth every penny. I even smelled good after a sweaty day of uncovering dinosaur tracks with the paleo society.

My new favorite deodorant

A friend recently introduced me to this stuff and I’m obsessed. The scent is very elevated and I love when I lift my arm and catch a whiff of the sweet citrusy smell! It’s really nice. I also love that it comes in a tube and with the attachment you really will get every last bit out of it. For the price and quality I’m really impressed.

As a professional stuntwoman I LOVE this deodorant

I work in a high stress and highly active environment in the movie industry. When I worked on SINNERS we were shooting long hours and in the New Orleans heat of late June. This deodorant was put to the test every single day and didn't fail me, even when the wardrobe dept wasn't able to fully wash the garments due to continuity. I will always rep this product on set to my fellow stunt performers to stay dry and fresh through all our falls, fights, and flips.

The Deodorant Balm SC.03

This is my third order and I don’t know how I lived without this product! Once you pass through remembering what sweat feels like- which is a quick, time limited experience- you’ll wonder how you walked around with choking pores. I’ve never used a natural deodorant product that worked before AKT. I’m introducing all my friends and hearing the same response. Lovely smells and a most effective product. A thousand stars to you. 🌟

The Only Clean Deodorant for Me!

As a cancer survivor, I am super picky about the products I put on my skin. I use CLEAN products only. AKT is the only deodorant I will use. In fact, it is the only clean deodorant that seems to work on me. And it works for two days! I ‘m in love with both the lavender and the orange blossom scents.

Best natural deodorant, never switching!

My hunt for a natural deodorant that actually works, started when I was a teenager. I tried all of them and eventually went back to antiperspirant because I was tired of the sting, constant reapplication, and honestly, the body odor that quickly became noticeable. Once I got pregnant, and knew I’d start breastfeeding, I started looking again. I read about Akt and based on their back story, I knew I had to try it. After getting the sample kit and finding my scent (After the Thunder) I haven’t used any other deodorant. It is truly the best and smells wonderful. The texture is fantastic when it goes on, it lasts on hot summer days in Colorado, and I’ve had no irritation from it. Huge fan and highly, highly recommend.

My GODDESS, it's good!

I am truly impressed. This product was truly designed with luxury in mind. I purchased this after learning:
1. It was created by fellow stage actors.
2. It one of the most effective deodorants on the market.
3. It came sustainably packaged (which made my heart soar).

Upon first opening the tube, I was greeted by the an intricately layered floral scent unlike anything I'd ever encountered. Amber, violet and tonka hit my senses in overlapping phases, creating a sensorial experience. The deodorant is a light, mattifying paste that spreads smoothly and goes far. After wearing it for 10+ hours in the humid, DC heat, I still smelled like I walked straight out of a boutique.

I've tried many, MANY deodorants over the years and this wins the Tony.

Works but at what cost

I genuinely enjoy the paste it really helps with smell but I apply with my hands and it gets a weird texture on my hands. Also it’s a little out of my budget :/

Works amazing but leaks

I love the actual product and It works amazing but It leaks oil. The worst part is as It leaks It dries out so i was about half way through the bottle and probably had It for about 4 months It got so dry from leaking oil It became so hard It ripped open the bottle and is completely dry. I would love if somehow this wouldn’t happen because It is my favorite deodorant

It’s all a big yes from me.

I purchased the discovery set solely because I couldn’t decide which scent I’d like the best and wanted to “discover” them all before I committed to a big tube. As it turns out, I wouldn’t have been wrong to go with any of the scents. They ALL smell heavenly, clean, and delicious. Doesn’t really help me decide what normal size I’ll purchase when I run out of these small tubes. The “After Thunder” is definitely high on the list though - I got this scent in the Body Wash Concentrate too. Technically this review is just supposed to be for the deodorant, but… the way I look forward to taking a shower just so I can wash my body is insane. I splurged and got the Konjac Sponge and boy am I glad I did. Showering feels luxurious now. I’m so in love with all these products and using them is lowkey one of my favorite parts of my day/self care. I’ve been getting ads for Akt for a while now and finally decided to just go for it. I don’t know that I’ll ever go back to stick deodorant now (or any other body wash or lotion, to be honest).
