AKT Deodorant Balm 1.7 Fl Oz, Natural Deodorant for Men and Women, Award-Winning, Multi-use, Cream Deo Without Aluminum, Sc.03 The Onsen, Plastic Free, All Genders

Works well for me and the scent is lovely. It is not an antiperspirant and will not stop you from sweating — though I find that I actually sweat way less when I use natural options. It just makes it so your sweat doesn’t stink. This one feels less heavy/occlusive compared to some other natural deodorants which I appreciate. I use a cheap little silicone spatula to apply it so I don’t have to use my fingers (marketed for applying diaper cream). Works like a charm.

Use a twist key or you'll struggle to get the product out of the aluminum tube. I use David's toothpaste, and that comes with a twist key so I just use that and it fits just fine. This product would be five stars from everyone of they included one. NO other deodorant has ever worked for more than a few hours for me. This is probably the most effective deodorant I have ever used. The scent is pretty strong, but luckily I like the smell. Choose wisely.

This is literally the best deodorant I’ve ever used. I got the unscented to try first and am stoked to try the scented versions. The lack of a thousand stars is purely for the packaging, which I’ll get to in a moment.I live in Texas and this stuff not only keeps me from physically sweating, there’s not even the faintest whisper of odor at the end of the day. I’ve tested it out in scenarios that my other deodorants would always fail, and it still succeeds. I always thoroughly wash my underarms before applying deodorant, and sometimes even use an AHA toner wipe prior to applying deodorant… and my other deodorants would still inevitably fail on some days or when wearing certain clothing.But this stuff, this I’ve applied to my armpits the next morning without showering or prepping (which is unheard of for me), just a schmear and out the door. And I’m still golden at the end of the day.I’ve worn it with the perma-stink tight shirt (you know the one: it’s fresh and thoroughly clean washed with enzyme cleaner, but it gets “activated” after it comes in contact with your body heat for a few hours), and I still smell fresh at the end of the day. I wore this while moving into a new home: nada. I was sweating a bit, but *zero* odor. My armpits were fresh. It’s wild.For reference: I typically use Necessaire roll-on (unscented or eucalyptus) or Kosas (all 3 versions). I liked both brands but they both made me physically sweat more, like profusely, more than if I wasn’t wearing deodorant (even if I allowed them to dry fully before getting dressed), and sometimes towards the end of the evening I’d have a little funk. Prior to that when Lume came out, I was all about it, but after they discontinued the jasmine scent that worked for my body, all of the other fragrances did not mix kindly with my body. And it was a potentently, unpleasant situation.I’ve tried them all as they say, the drugstore brands (dove, etc), natural brands (Tom’s, Native, etc), the boutique brands like (bumble & bee), the more luxe brands (Necessaire, Salt + Stone, etc), the subscription ones like Myro. Many homemade recipes, etc. Buy AKT is just a truly stellar formula.Minus stars for the packaging: the packaging in theory is perfect (all metal tube 🙌🏼 which is part of the reason for my purchase), however it’s super faulty. I used it three days in a row just fine, but on each subsequent day it became more difficult to squeeze anything out, until ultimately *nothing* came out. At least not from the mouth piece - it exploded out of the seam. Trying to contact the seller for a replacement. Hopefully it’s a fluke and not the norm, because this tuff is dreamy.

My favorite deodorant on the planet. The amount of people I’ve gotten to switch to this is insane. I’m a very active woman and it’s shocking how well this works. After a 5 mile hike and running around all day in a SoCal summer I still wind up smelling amazing. I particularly love this scent. I’ve tried the lavender but it’s not for me. This smells of cedar and all things fresh..mmm divine.

This goes on like regular lotion and is hands down the best natural deodorant! No stains, no stinky arm pits and lasts ALL day for me. I can be sweating, working outside and still feel clean, comfortable and confident. It was a struggle finding a product that was natural that would mask my b.o. I bought all brands and it was horrible, my sister can contest to that; stinky!! This is my second purchase and I have no complaints other than the packaging. Towards the end of the tube I had to cut it open to get about a week’s worth of product still trapped inside. I did buy the key to help squeeze the tube but it still doesn’t give you that remaining bit without having to cut the tube. The tube is made with a material that is sharp when cut so it was a bit difficult at the end to get all the product.Bought the Amber Violet Tonka Bean. 5 Star if not for having to cut the tube.

I was not able to find an ingredient list for this product in the Amazon listing so I went to the product website.Pros:1.Smells good2. Deodorizes all day (not 24 hours)Cons:1. The packaging is good in theory, but horrible in practice. Immediately upon folding over with the key, a tiny tear occured right near the crimp. There is now a leak at the very bottom of the tube. The material used for the tube is too delicate for this application.2. Main deoderizng ingredient is baking soda, which causes it to be gritty and irritating and gives it that "homemade" deodorant smell.3. Does not prevent perspiration at all. I immediately and consistently sweat right through this product.4. The diatomaceous earth used to help prevent moisture only causes more grit and irritation. One use for DE is as an insecticide because it has microscopic sharp edges that penetrate an insect's exoskeleton and cause the insect to dehydrate and die. The DE itself has little to do with the actual dehydration. It is a naturally occurring event related to disrupting the moisture barrier and allowing moisture to escape. The same sharp edges that can cut through keratin don't seem ideal to be rubbed into skin, especially the delicate areas that this product is made for.Conclusion:This product felt very abrasive during application. It left delicate areas irritated and uncomfortable. The seller uses a dramatic origin story to hype sell an inferior product. The product did not perform as promised. I am very disappointed. Returned.
