AKT, THE DEODORANT BALM. Award winning, multi-use, natural deodorant. Plastic Free. Gender Free. Aluminium Free. 100% effective — 1 tube lasts up to 2 months. SC.03 THE ONSEN. 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!

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.

The pros: deodorant smells very nice, nice ingredients and it is easy to find on Amazon. However, it is massively overpriced. Firstly, it is a pain to have to squeeze it with a metal stick because it is otherwise impossibly thick, it doesn't have a lid so you cannot close it or travel with it because it oozes out, so very difficult to use. Secondly, and more importantly it will wear out after a couple of hours and the stench it will leave in your pits will be the worst you have ever smelled in your life. You will still sweat and perspire... it doesn't actually work, sadly.

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!

Ok.. so, initially I would have given this 5 stars. It smelled nice. It lasted a while and I was happy. Then came near the end of the tube. It was dry chalky and hard to get out. I ended up cutting open the tube to find loads of product. Sadly all moisture had gone and what was left was a dry almost gritty paste. I thought maybe a one off. So I bought a second tube in a different fragrance. Same thing again, hard to get out, loads of wastage and unpleasant texture. I won't be buying again.

Excellent product keeps you fresh even during heatwaves. Subtle scent which means I can cover it with my own cologne and it does not clash. Gentle to skin even good for keeping groin and 4skin fresh.

I've been using AKT for some time now (over a year), but this is the first I have bought through Amazon. I have tried 4 scents and all have been good but quite subtle. It's effective at removing/masking odour, and does seem to reduce wetness slightly. It doesn't mark clothing either. Maybe it's something to do with this particular scent (the purple one), or it's not been stored in the right conditions, or the 'recipe' has been changed since I last bought, but the texture of this one is not correct. It's very gritty and sandy - some of the gritty bits do 'rub-in' after some extra massaging, but not all of them. It even leaves bits (like sand) in the bed after wearing all day! It's expensive and does work well, but this latest purchase is not as good as the previous ones.

I kept seeing ads for AKT deodorant, and after reading reviews, I was a little skeptical, but also intrigued. So I got a sampler pack, and decided that I liked this one so much I'd buy the big tube. Then my husband tried it, and now it's all we both use! First the scent: I don't usually use anything scented, so it was an adjustment to start using this. It is a very unique scent, and you are either going to love it or hate it. I love it! (Some of their other scents are nice, and some are a big thumbs down.) Second, the application - you squeeze a pea-sized blob on your finger, and then split that in half and rub it under your arms with your fingers and hands. Some people may not like doing that, but it doesn't bother me at all, so I'd say thumbs up on the ease of application, and I like that I'm not paying for a big plastic applicator that's going into a landfill. Some have complained that the texture is a little gritty, but again, it's a matter of taste, and it doesn't bother me at all - some of the scents are grittier, or thicker and harder to squeeze out of the tube - I highly recommend, if you end up using this, that you spring for the nice key they offer that makes it easy to squeeze every bit out of the tube. Now the most important part. IT WORKS! I go through phases where sometimes I hardly have any underarm odor at all, and then suddenly it's pretty bad for a while. This deodorant prevents B.O. and keeps it away. Working from home, and at the advice of a dermatologist because of dry skin, I sometimes don't need to shower every single day, and AKT lasts - I can go two days without reapplying without worrying. So even though it seems a little pricey, one tube lasts two of us a looooong time, so in the end it's way cheaper than most other brands! I love that there is no aluminum in the ingredients, too. Many deodorants burn my sensitive skin, but this hasn't bothered me at all. Bottom line: Works great, smells great, price (in the long run) is great.

Discovered this brand in England. Was told how it was created by people in the London Theater district and used by performers in London and New York... and by popular celebrities while on stage. And let me tell you a group of us tried this during a crowded extremely hot summer celebration and each one of us didn't stink or sweat profusely... if at all! Soooo glad I could get this on Amazon. Bought all the different scents! Love them and am giving them to friends and family to try... have only had happy responses from each person 😊

i can’t….the smell is awful smell like everything but lavender 🤢

AKT Deodorant Balm in SC. 03 The Onsen is one of the most effective natural deodorants I’ve ever used—just a tiny amount keeps odor at bay all day, even beyond underarms. The scent is fresh and clean, and the balm texture melts beautifully into the skin without residue. It's truly a luxe, high-performing product that delivers on its promises—but the aluminum tube is frustrating to use, and the tiny cap is too easy to lose, making it feel like the packaging didn’t live up to the premium inside.

I love this deodorant. I’m making my way through all the scents. Most of them smell a little more masculine than I’d like, but I still prefer it over any other brand. I’ve never tried a natural deodorant this effective. You need only the tiniest amount. I will say that you really need The Assistant to get it out of the tube properly. The first tube I ever owned I didn’t have it and the tube ended up splitting and it was very hard to get out. And if you really wanna go all out, get the gua sha applicator and turn it into a whole spa experience. I actually look forward to putting my deodorant on in the morning this way! Does it all seem rather expensive? Yes! Does one tube last seemingly forever? Yes! Is it all worth it? Absolutely.
