AKT The Deodorant Balm SC.01 Orange Grove
A natural deodorant balm from London that goes on as a cream and sets to a dry, invisible powder. AKT's Deo-Barrier Complex, a blend of plant and mineral powders including diatomaceous earth and arrowroot, rests on the skin to absorb moisture and neutralise odour, without aluminium salts and without blocking pores. It was tested on stage in London's West End, where a deodorant either works under hot lights or it doesn't.
Why we chose it: it is the first natural deodorant we have found that people who actually sweat keep using. Aluminium-free, vegan, plastic-free, and the scents are composed like fine fragrance rather than like bathroom products.
SC.01 Orange Grove opens with sliced orange and sweet mandarin, moves into neroli blossom and a bitter negroni, and settles on Italian cypress and petitgrain. A Mediterranean morning, all day.
50 ml. One tube lasts 6–8 weeks of daily use.
