This deodorant works wonders!! I have a very very sensitive skin and this deodorant has been such a great investment. Application is easy I usually use my fingers. The ingredients are clean! No chemical burn reaction and I ive in a very hot place so no smell. It lasts all day.

I have very sensitive skin but prefer deodorant with fragrance. As you might imagine, it’s nearly impossible to find that combination in a product. So many of them give me rashes or otherwise break me out. I’m thrilled to report that this product does NONE of those things. It keeps me fresh for a full day and night, and it smells great. Grown up but still current.
Bad news- if you have any kind of hand/wrist weakness or mobility issues, this product is really not for you. The packaging was clearly designed with aesthetics in mind. Form over function. The deodorant is THICK (great thing for your underarms!) but trying to get it out of the tube is a nightmare. The tap is hysterically small and fiddly to put on.
Overall- I’m rooting this brand. I really want to love them. But damned if this package wasn’t a real pain in the a**

I’ve tried many different types of natural deodorant – Native, Schmidt’s (made my armpits breakout), Lume, etc. – and none worked long-term, especially during workouts or being outside in the Texas heat. I’d have to often reapply. Enter in AKT’s deodorant. This is my second tube and it actually works, short term and long term. And, it smells absolutely divine. It can be a little oily, but honestly, the benefits of how it lasts a long time (around 2 months for me, only needing to apply 1x a day) and actually works… I look behind the maybe few times where I find it a little (and I mean a little) oily. I highly recommend it.

AKT has done it!
It has created the most twee, precious, and overpriced deodorant known to man. lol
Now that we have artisanal deodorant that uses the vocab of fine perfumery to create a ‘scent journey’ for the discerning buyer, you wouldn’t be wrong to fear that artisanal toothpaste might not be far behind. (Fifty bucks a tube, anyone? Surely some hedgefund-fueled startup is gleefully eyeing your personal hygiene budget, ripe for the picking.)
AKT deo is quite effective at controlling odor and applies easily, even if the texture is a bit gritty. In terms of daily use, there are some downsides, though. The packaging seems like a cruel joke at the expense of the consumer. The shiny gold Assistant — a piece of metal to help you roll the tube and dispense the deo — is absurd. Having to pay extra just to properly use your $30 tube of deodorant makes me want to laugh and vomit simultaneously.
Anyone would be better off buying a generic rolling device; there are even tube twisters designed to act as a base and hold the tube upright, and they cost less than The Assistant (which is oversized and garishly shiny, a weird contrast to the subdued and tasteful industrial design of the deo tube itself).
The cap for the tube is an abject failure of product design: it does not always thread properly onto the tube, and it is so small that it will be a chore to manipulate for anybody with arthritis or carpal tunnel issues. It is easy to lose and, worst of all, not large enough to stand the tube upright on it. (If AKT can somehow convince people to shell out good money for a widget to wind the tube, surely it would find some takers for an upgraded bespoke cap with better functionality? lol)
Columbia Road scent smells very nice… and, while I haven’t tested the deo’s longevity claims yet, I’m impressed by its initial performance. I guess I will learn to live with the annoying cap and the laughable Assistant, both of which make me feel like a jackwagon every time I use the product.
Welcome to end-stage capitalism, folks. It smells fine.

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 good
2. 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.
