YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
How long does a tube last & how often should I apply?
Well, of course it depends on how much you use, and the tube you’re squeezing it out from. Our starting recommendation is a pea-size amount to each underarm once a day. Preferably on freshly showered skin. This means our fabulous 50ml tube lasts 1-2 months on average and is delivered every 6 weeks with our subscription offering (we won’t hold you to it though, you can customise your subscription delivery in your account) And 5ml tubes available in The Discovery Set last an average of 5-7 days.
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.
How do I apply the balm deodorant?
If you’re using our standard 50ml tube, simply unscrew the cap and pierce the seal, (we recommend using a pen or The Assistant). If you’re using a 5ml tube from our Discovery Set, just break off the nozzle (you can use it as a plug to reseal once you’re done).
Then squeeze a pea-sized amount on your finger or The Applicator and massage the balm into your underarms (or feet, underboobs, chest, forehead… wherever!) just like a moisturiser. It will absorb instantly, giving you effective, all day protection.
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!
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.
Let customers speak for us
from 15897 reviewsThe best little tool, helping me squeeze out all the product. I've bought it to use for other products too. Simply love it!
It is effective and have not noticed any side effects so far.
Gorgeous scents - each of the testers I received had me going oooh!
I have tried natural deodorant in the past with limited success. AKT has been great and is easy to apply and very effective.
I have been trialling different non-toxic deodorants for years across all
I love how this product stands out from the rest! It works perfectly all day with just a small amount of deodorant. The best part? It doesn’t leave any stains on my T-shirts!
Doesn't leave that white powder on clothes that never comes off and even when I'm sweating loads I can still smell the deodorant not like any of the others which disappear when you start sweating and for putting just a pea size on each arm pit
Is also quite tricky to squeeze out of the tube / get every last drop out of the metal
Been using AKT for a few years now both myself and my smelly teen son use this deodorant which works wonders on both of us. I love that the scents are so unisex so we both use the same one (not the same tube but scent)
Not many work that well or they make clothes smell not so nice. This is different thank fully.
Smells great. The consistency can vary from order to order - sometimes more solid and sometimes runnier (smells good either way).
So amazing keeps u smelling fresh under arms and
The only thing I’d say is that The Assistant tool doesn’t quite get out every last drop - maybe there’s a slightly different design that would be better?
Only tried one of the tubes so far but it smells great, and seems to actually work. Far better consistency than other natural deodorants. The tube seems to last a while too. Will be purchasing a full size tube next time.
I usually end up with the smell of a hard day's work in my armpits, and especially if I'm wearing man-made fibres, however I've had a few busy days since using AKT and have been pleasantly surprised by the efficiency and lack of any smell whatsoever! The product smells lovely - I was slightly concerned it would jar against my perfume but it isn't too strong, although it stays smelling good to the end of the day. Would highly recommend, I look forward to trying all the other scents.
The Discovery Set
These all smell incredible and pass the sniff test after a long day at work. So pleased to have taken the step to get akt! Will not be looking back.
Really impressed. No more stinky pits! Now I've tried out most of the scents, I'm ordering a full-size tube for every day. üòä
