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.

I'm 5 days into this, and already I'm a fan. Is it cumbersome and weird to apply deodorant with your fingers and rub it in? Yep. But it's a small price to pay for a truly effective one. I've tried what feels like every deodorant under the sun that's been on the "top lists", and literally every one of them resulted in not only sweat but I would have to reapply multiple times or it would irritate my skin (I have the world's most sensitive skin). This stuff does it all for me, so far. I'm not sweating when idle, I don't stink, there's no weird residue or skin reaction, and from what I can tell zero staining. Will update this again after I've been using it longer if things change.

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.
