Does it really work?

Will AKT stop me 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

How do I open The Deodorant Balm?

How often should I apply AKT and how long does a tube last?

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 customi

Why does The Deodorant Balm feel grainy?

We noticed that the consistency of our newest formula can become grainy in colder weather. This is caused by "winterisation" of some oils and butters in our formula, like Shea Butter. We are working hard backstage to get our next batch even smoother
