AKT, THE DEODORANT BALM. Award winning, multi-use, natural deodorant. Plastic Free. Gender Free. Aluminium Free. 100% effective — 1 tube lasts up to 3 months. SC.05 COLUMBIA ROAD. 50ml

I've tried every deodorant/antiperspirant going, and never found one that worked completely. Some worked well but made me smell weird, whereas other made me smell lovely, but let me down. I cannot remember how I found out about this but it is soooo good.Pros: it is human, and planet friendly, residue free, doesn't harm your clothes, and can be used anywhere on the body, including the face, and underboob sweat is a thing of the past. That said, it is unisex, so you can share the same product.It smells lovely but not overpowering, (Onsen (purple tube) is my go-to), it also comes in fragrance free, it's easy to apply, it keeps you fresh and dry, and the tube last for a good 6-8 weeks depending on how often you reapply. A 'pea' size dollop is honestly all you need. There are no lasting, unpleasant side effects either that you can get from 'professional' products.Cons: It can make you a bit itchy but just wash off and use less next time, and you'll definitely need 'The Assistant' which is a tube 'key' because the tube is hard to squeeze using your hand. These keys are available anywhere tho, so not really a 'con'.I love it. Finish the tube and place in the recycling. What's not to love?! It might not be for all, and it could be called pricey, BUT, having something that actually works, is worth its weight in gold. I will definitely continue to buy this 🙂

I bought this at the start of the the year and I feel like I've really put it through it's paces. I'm a performer (who sweats a lot!) and I've been touring a very active show to some wildly different climates; from the tiny cold Scottish isle of Mull to the south of France in 40 degree heat to very humid Singapore.Of all the natural deodorants I've tried, this it the best at deodorising - of course it doesn't stop the sweat, but it stops me smelling awful, even after many hours of sweating with heat and after running around on stage. I LOVE the smell - I have the purple Onsen one. It's quite strong, but I love this. I'd much prefer to smell of this than BO! And it's not like the fragrance is overbearing after it's applied. You only really need to use a small amount, and it lasts for most of the day. I think the tube itself will last quite a while - I got it in January, and I'm perhaps half way through in July? Oh, and it hasn't left any marks on my clothes.The only thing I've noticed is that extreme temperatures can have an effect on the thickness of the paste. When I was in Scotland, it was snowing outside and fairly cold inside, but not freezing. The paste became very hard to squeeze out! Not impossible, but difficult. Then, in very hot climates, at about 40 degrees Celsius, it becomes very thin and a bit watery, so you need to take care squeezing it out, as it'll flow out very quickly. However, I really haven't minded this at all. Perhaps in order to stay consistent in all temperatures, you'd need to add chemicals - then it wouldn't be a natural deodorant!Overall, it's the most expensive deodorant I've ever bought, but as a sweaty performer, it's a great investment. It's the best of the natural deodorants and I love the strong smell. Packaging looks great too. comes in a nice box. I would even say this would be a great gift for a performer!

It is the best natural deodorant I’ve tried so far but still isn’t quite as good as a regular one and VERY expensive so won’t be buying again. It does leave marks on clothing but they come off easily. Texture and smell are nice. The key to wind tube should be free imo and the tube is quite tough to squeeze without.

So there are lots of things I really like about this product. The scent is divine, and I appreciate that there is no gendering of scents (mostly because I don’t like most products aimed at women since I don’t want to smell like an engineered vanilla pod). I like the effectiveness of the products and I really like that this dries down so unlike most natural products there isn’t a constant film of oil. I find it very effective, and I don’t mind applying with my fingers. The packaging is a nightmare though. I do appreciate the move to make it as eco friendly as possible, but a tube is just not fit for purpose. If you roll it over at the top (without the key thingy that is sold separately) then the tube tears and there’s oil leaking out. If it must be used with the key roller then that should be 100% transparent before purchase. I suspect it might not leak using the key because it would prevent stress points. I understand the aim is to make fully recyclable packaging (on board) but that only works if the packaging is fit for purpose and this is not. The top on the tube is too small to stand it on end, which would help with the seepage issue. I could put it in a plastic bag to prevent the spillage spoiling my furniture but then that defeats the purpose of the plastic free packaging. I also understand why selling the key roller packaged with each tube is not desirable (cost, waste etc) but if the key is the key to joy it needs to be clear. I like the scent (if this was a fragrance I’d be all over it), I love the eco friendly objectives, I like the performance of the product and the overall experience. Please do something with the packaging so I can be a firm fan.

I am delighted with this deodorant. It is delicately fragranced, is an excellent deodorant and my skin feels lovely for having used it. It washes off easily in the shower, I haven’t felt the need to scrub to remove it and I will definitely buy again and try the other fragrances. I do feel it is a little expensive but as it works so well I don’t mind paying the price for it hence the 4 star value for money rating.

I’ve searched for years — YEARS — to find the right deodorant for me. I used to really like the one from Kiehls but it only comes in aluminum-laden antiperspirant (the aluminum stains white shirts grrrr). I like Native okay but their fragrances all smell a little cheap. I’ve tried lots of the mid-upper tier deodorants available on Amazon, but either they don’t work, they irritate my skin, or their fragrances just aren’t good (side note: why do all of the Each & Every deodorants smell like food?). Enter AKT which smells divine, works for two days if I need it to, and lasts forever (ends up being cheaper than Native). I’m using the After Thunder scent which smells so good it’s got me trusting AKT enough to try another scent next time. I only wish they made more nice-smelling stuff, like hand creams, moisturizers etc. YMMV but if you can get used to applying deodorant with your fingers this is the one.

Seriously works so well! Saw Lucydavisfit using it for a marathon so gave it a try.No smell if you get sweaty like other natural deodorants, I will forever be using this now.

Lovely scents, and prevents BO all day. I recommend the product 100%However, the cap is tiny, and you need to pierce the seal with a pen the first time you use it. The ink from the pen gets on the deodorant and the deodorant gets on the pen. No bueno.I just wiped away the mess so it’s not a deal breaker for me but there’s room for improvement.

I bought the 50ml tube of the SC.02 After Thunder, which smells wonderful. It works for me in terms of performance and scent. The deodorant leaves a residue (on the inside of the shirt) similar to baby powder, more visible when wearing dark clothing. However, any traces can be easily removed with a gentle cycle in the washing machine. The main annoyance comes when you start using the product. The tube is sealed in aluminum and the cap is not designed to pierce the opening. So, you have to find your tool to do so. In my opinion, it’s a design flaw that could be easily fixed. Overall, I am happy with the product and giving it 3 stars.

The media could not be loaded. I can’t put this deodorant over enough. I was not paid to do this, I didn’t receive anything from AKT in anyway, other than the ability to purchase this product at full price.For YEARS I’ve ruined several of my black t-shirts with other deodorants as they would leave an almost impossible residue on the underarms of all my shirts. Not any more. Not only does this product not leave any residue, it works, keeps me dry, easy to apply, and the amount that’s in the tube will last me for a good month if not more. While I didn’t get the applicator attachment, I’ll not only be purchasing that next but also every scent they offer. If you’re like me and you’ve always tried “natural” deodorants only to find they don’t work, the wait is over. THIS. This is the deodorant for you.
