Scent description
Scent description
SC.01 ORANGE GROVE
PETITGRAIN, MANDARIN, NEROLI
Midday sun beats heavily on the grove. Sweet aromas burst from the freshly peeled orange. Neroli blossom dances, alive on the breeze. Another negroni over ice – it’s summer after all.
SC.02 AFTER THUNDER
CEDAR, EUCALYPTUS, ORANGE
A walk through the woods after a thunderstorm. Damp cedar. Fresh leaves. Citrus rays of morning light slice through the canopy. Take a deep breath. Day begins again.
SC.03 THE ONSEN
VETIVER, LAVANDIN, YUZU
Steam dances over the hot spring, steeped in soft Japanese citrus. Cold, earthy air rushes into the lungs. Morning sun bathes the cedar mountains in a lavender light. Mind clear and calm. Breathe.
SC.04 HALCYON SUMMERS
MINT, POMELO, TOMATO VINE
A lazy walk back to the villa, along cobbled streets, past tomato vines and proud citrus trees. Under the dusk sky, locals smoke cigars and drink mint tea. The sea air greets your sun-kissed skin like an old friend. Here’s to endless summers.
SC.05 COLUMBIA ROAD
AMBER, VIOLET, TONKA
Early Sunday morning. Lemon sunlight peeks sleepily over the terraces of the bustling flower market. Street sellers call; their stalls a riot of violet and amber blooms. The scent of freshly cut stems and good coffee. With a smile you melt into the crowd.

LET’S SET THE SCENE
CREATED ONSTAGE
ADORED OFFSTAGE
AKT (pronounced "act") was founded when we met performing 8 shows a week in London's West End.
Our products are tested for their efficacy on dancers — not animals, and like us are... BORN TO PERFORM.
THE FOUNDER STORY
We said goodbye to single-use plastics, and the hunt for an effective eco friendly option began. Cruelty free, aluminium free deodorant did exist in the natural beauty aisle, but we couldn’t find a single one that actually worked.
So we made AKT. After three years of meticulous concocting, testing, and trialing on fellow performers, we’re thrilled to have developed a natural deodorant that’s everything we had been searching for — and more.
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
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. Each mini generally lasts 5 to 7 days with recommended daily application.
Will it stop me from sweating?
Our formulation contains no aluminium chlorohydrate so will not block your sweat ducts. However our formula contains Deo-Barrier Complex to absorb your natural perspiration to keep you feeling dry and fresh all day. If you are new to natural deodorant, transitioning from conventional antiperspirants can sometimes lead to an initial increase in sweating. This is perfectly normal. This adjustment period can vary from a few days to a few weeks.
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. Sweating is a natural bodily function that helps cool us down.
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 for any known allergens. We also have a fragrance-free version of our Deodorant Balm called SC.00 No Notes. For any order or product questions, contact iqtf3585@outlook.com.
How do I apply the mini balm deodorants?
Break off the nozzle and use it as a plug to reseal. Squeeze a pea-sized amount on your finger or The Applicator and massage onto clean skin – underarms, forehead, chest – anywhere you need effective, all day protection.

Controls this major sweater’s stink!!
I may be female, but I sweat like a guy, AKT does a fantastic job at controlling my stink and I even sweat less under my arms! I prefer deodorants with no aluminum, but had trouble finding one that don’t irritate my skin until I found AKT! One tube lasts a long time!
