HOW TO AKT
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
How do I apply the balm deodorant?
Unscrew the cap and pierce the seal, we recommend using a pen. Squeeze a pea-sized amount on your finger or The Applicator and massage the balm into your underarms like a moisturiser. It absorbs instantly. But don’t stop there – feet, forehead, chest – apply anywhere you need effective protection!
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.
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.
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.
Pretty happy overall, and much prefer the format vs messy wet roll ons that get all over my shirts.
Love my starter kit it's so beautiful! I came across this product via Lorraine show when So is Haria presented some products to manage sweat. It has changed my life! I use it on my face under my moisturizer and don't sweat on my face as much and feel fresh all day. Fantastic üòç
I purchased the Starter set and this stuff is amazing! Works all day long and can go out in complete confidence! My 10 year old also wears this before heading off to school and is super happy with the results! 10/10 100% recommend!
Was a little sceptical at first, as I don’t like buying online. Although the product is excellent, does as the blurb says and I would, and have recommended it to friends and family.
Can’t believe its as good as strong deodorant would be, if not better!!
