Alcohol Free and Aluminium Free Deodorants: Why Natural Really is Better

Could there be villains lurking in your grooming kit? We get it, whether you’re on a date, at the gym, or presenting the latest sales figures to a boardroom full of frowns, no one wants eau de sweat sabotaging their performance. But resorting to deodorants containing aluminium and alcohol isn’t the only solution.

Let us tell you why these harsh ingredients should, in our opinion, be banished, and why our alcohol-free and aluminium-free natural deodorant is the hero your washbag has been waiting for. 

WHY CHOOSE AN ALCOHOL-FREE DEODORANT?

Many mainstream deodorants use alcohol to help the product dry out quickly and kill off bacteria to stop odours.

But our underarms are some of the most delicate areas of the body, and alcohol can be really harsh on sensitive or recently-shaved skin. For many it leaves their pits irritated, red, and dry – and can even cause blocked pores, discolouration, and rashes. The last thing we need is that kind of drama under our arms.

DOES ALCOHOL-FREE MEAN LESS EFFECTIVE?

Nope. Alcohol is by no means the only way to oust odour, and now that so many people are trying to avoid daubing their skin with it, there’s a whole host of alcohol-free deodorants to choose from.

Like a proud Mother Hen, we naturally think our award-winning AKT The Deodorant Balm is the best. Then again, it is hard to argue with 31,000+ 5 star reviews… More on how our ingenious balm works below.

WHY ALUMINIUM-FREE DEODORANT MATTERS

Aluminium chlorohydrate is a common active ingredient in lots of antiperspirants. It works by blocking your sweat glands to stop you from sweating at all. 

But bodies need to sweat – we don’t want to stop that. In fact, sweating is one of the body’s most magical and fascinating feats, helping to regulate our body temperature, get rid of toxins, and hydrate the skin. 

That’s why our deodorant balms help you feel dry all day long without resorting to aluminium. 

THE AKT DEODORANT SOLUTION

So, now to the main event. How does our award-winning aluminium-free and alcohol-free natural deodorant actually work?

In general, natural deodorants work by helping control the bacteria that cause bad odours with natural ingredients derived from minerals and plants. 

At AKT we’ve taken this a step further by creating the Deo-Barrier Complex™. This natural mixture cleanses the skin on contact and absorbs moisture to prevent bacteria from multiplying (which is usually the culprit for the dreaded BO pong). 

These gentle yet powerful powders sit on the skin like an invisible shield – completely undetected with absolutely no stains on your favourite white t-shirt.  Blended with natural oils, the powders form an antimicrobial moisturiser that stops smells and nourishes the skin. Bravo!

NURTURE HEALTHY SKIN

AKT works wonders on delicate underarm skin, but that’s not the only place you can use it. The Deodorant Balm is also for sweaty feet, foreheads, chests, upstairs, downstairs – wherever you need some anti-sweat support. 

Forget aerosols and synthetics, our nourishing, naturally derived ingredients like shea butter and calendula oil are gentle enough to use from top to toe.

Consider it your daily “AKT” of self-care!
