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.01 ORANGE GROVE. 50ml

I love this deodorant- will be the third time i purchase it! Love it so much it smells super good but not too strong. And It also lasts a really long time. I party with this I go to the gym with this on and while it’s natural to sweat a little it works really well. Does leave a few white marks but not major. Only need to apply a little bit for it to work and applies great. I will say the one I bought this time around is quite oily like the oil leaks out from it which is a bit odd to me… but still works great!

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!

This deodorant worked really well when I I was in Thailand and it was 36 degrees and I was sweating so much. I didn’t smell at all. However it will stain your clothes, I wear black clothes and would always have white stains on my armpits. I’d have to be really careful if I was putting clothes on after I put the deodorant on as it will stain your clothes (washes out- just annoying if you wanted to wear that top on the day and it’s got these white smears on it). But I will be repurchasing as I didn’t smell and I sweat loads and I hate it.

Before AKT I battled sweaty and smelly armpits for my entire adult life. Honestly I don’t even think about it any more. This is truly the best deodorant ever - and I’ve tried a lot of them!! As a sweaty girl, I’ve really struggled to find any deodorants that will keep both the smell and sweat away. AKT isn’t even advertised as antiperspirant but I get NO sweat marks using this at all - which no other deodorant has succeeded at. Not Mitchum, not the Dove 92hr one, not even men’s deodorant has worked but AKT is amazing. I used to use the Orange one but have moved onto the Dark purple one (can’t remember the name sorry) and I prefer this scent personally. It has never stained my clothes although you do get the typical white residue on your clothes if you aren’t careful putting them on. Not as bad as the spray-on ones though. It lasts me pretty much all day - the only time I’d top up is if I was going to work out in the evenings or going out somewhere but it really does last all day! If I could throw one idea into the ring it would be that I do wish they had something in the range which was more of a floral fruity sweet smell as that is a preference for me, however the one I use now makes my underarms smell like lavender which I’m definitely not complaining about. I highly recommend getting the little golden key thing to help you get it out of the tube - this makes using it tonnes easier and I can see a few people have complained about it being difficult to get out of the tube. This is one piece of Facebook marketing that I’m very glad I gave into - I won’t be going back to regular deodorants after this!

Smelt ok but did not reduce sweating at all.

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 suffer with hyperhydrosis, have done since being a teen (now late 30s) and have always struggled finding something that works. I settled with a 96hr antiperspirant but after a few years this is no longer working, and I'm at the age where I'm conscious of the aluminium. I was sweating and smelling by 9.30 in the morning and having to reapply multiple times. I've tried deodorants before but they've just never cut it. Having read the reviews I figured I had nothing to lose by trying this, and I'm so glad I did. I'm a week in and have not smelled of b/o once, despite being at work, dancing around the house with the kids, and lugging a toddle around who decided he didn't want to walk anymore on the school run. I have still sweat but nowhere near as much as I thought I would, and actually less than with the antiperspirant. It's been minimal. The first couple of days when I felt myself getting a little damp I was a bit paranoid so reapplied, but once I found the confidence I realised I really didn't have to. Yes it's a little grainy looking but it doesn't feel grainy, they're soft lumps that easily rub away into your skin. I also bought a key from here to help turn it, not the Akt brand, just a generic one for £4 and it really helps. Hopefully it will last a while then I will try another scent. Edit: it's expensive but has lasted me 8 weeks and that's applying twice in the early days until i built up the confidence to realise i really didn't need it as i didnt smell. I'm just about to try another scent. As it got hotter I tried a refillable antiperspirant (sold as the first of its kind) as well as my original antiperspirant and on both occasions I was sweaty but also started smelling, something I haven't once noticed whilst using AKT. I also feel like I was somehow sweating less with the balm than with the antiperspirant but I have no idea how that would work. Anyway, if you're unsure then it's worth a try.

It's brilliant. I've used the orange Grove scent, Colombia road and after thunder (more masculine scent). The orange one is almost as beautiful as Colombia road. This is better than Wild, this doesn't leave me needing to wash my pits and reapply in the same day. If you are switching from an anti perspiration to any natural deodorant, your pits will detox for a couple of weeks. As I was already on natural deodorant for over a year, I had no sweaty problems switching to AKT. It is only a deodorant and not an anti perspiration. It is great at being a deodorant. In super hot climate your pits will sweat but this will keep them free of B.O. Influencers who are promoting it as a foundation base are taking people for a ride though!

It’s not working and had bad smell and it’s hard to squeeze all I get oily stains everywhere

Buon profumo persistente per tutto l’arco della giornata e effetto deodorante particolarmente efficace su ogni parte del corpo.

Best deodorant ever. It's a bit expensive but worth the price. I'm allergic to aluminum so I can't use deodorants that keep the stink away. I've tried lume and native (I like both but they don't last long on me) This works better than anything else I've tried. I've tried a few (but not all) of their scents. Scent 01, 04, and 05. #5 (the light purple) had been my favorite so far. It's a soft subtle scent, perfect for women. Orange is a nice scent too but a bit more masculine and the green one is my least favorite so far. It's a nice scent but definitely more masculine smelling. My only small issue with the product is it leaks oil even when it's closed tightly and when you get to the end of the tube the deodorant is no longer soft, like it is in the beginning, so it becomes difficult to squeeze out. It's still worth it to me. I will never not buy this product. From one stinky person to another....Get it. You won't regret it.

Top Deo! Funktioniert bei mir seit Jahren perfekt. Nur eine erbsengroße Menge täglich.

I have had a lot of issues with deodorant either staining clothing or not working well throughout my day, this stuff is great! Smells amazing, it’s lightweight, and keeps things smelling fresh all day. I will be buying again.
