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.05 Columbia Road opens with zesty lemon, cut stems and cold skies, moves into iris, violet leaf and warm hands around a coffee cup, and settles on amber and tonka bean. A perfect Sunday at the flower market.

50 ml. One tube lasts 6–8 weeks of daily use.

Aluminium-salt free: deodorises and absorbs perspiration without blocking pores

Balm-to-powder texture: goes on like a moisturiser, dries invisible, no white marks, no stains on clothes

Skin-conditioning base of shea butter, calendula and vitamin E

Vegan and cruelty-free, made in the UK
Plastic-free aluminium tube, fully recyclable; one 50 ml tube lasts 6–8 weeks

Break off the nozzle tip and keep it as a plug to reseal the tube.

Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto a fingertip (or AKT's The Applicator) and massage into clean, dry underarms until the balm turns to powder. Once a day is usually enough; reapply after sport if you like. Also works on feet, chest and the small of the back.

Not an antiperspirant: it lets you sweat, it just takes care of the odour and the moisture. The formula contains sodium bicarbonate and essential oils, so patch test first if your skin is reactive.

Key ingredients: Deo-Barrier Complex (diatomaceous earth, arrowroot, non-nano zinc oxide, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium oxide), shea butter, calendula, vitamin E.
