Of all the natural deodorants I've tried, this it the best at deodorising - of course it doesn't stop the sweat, but it stops me smelling awful, even after many hours of sweating with heat and after running around on stage. I LOVE the smell - I have the purple Onsen one. It's quite strong, but I love this. I'd much prefer to smell of this than BO! And it's not like the fragrance is overbearing after it's applied. You only really need to use a small amount, and it lasts for most of the day. I think the tube itself will last quite a while - I got it in January, and I'm perhaps half way through in July? Oh, and it hasn't left any marks on my clothes.
The only thing I've noticed is that extreme temperatures can have an effect on the thickness of the paste. When I was in Scotland, it was snowing outside and fairly cold inside, but not freezing. The paste became very hard to squeeze out! Not impossible, but difficult. Then, in very hot climates, at about 40 degrees Celsius, it becomes very thin and a bit watery, so you need to take care squeezing it out, as it'll flow out very quickly. However, I really haven't minded this at all. Perhaps in order to stay consistent in all temperatures, you'd need to add chemicals - then it wouldn't be a natural deodorant!
Overall, it's the most expensive deodorant I've ever bought, but as a sweaty performer, it's a great investment. It's the best of the natural deodorants and I love the strong smell. Packaging looks great too. comes in a nice box. I would even say this would be a great gift for a performer!
This is the only natural deodorant I've found that actually lasts all day and stays smelling really nice.
It smells expensive and luxurious.
It doesn't leave white marks unless I've put way too much on, and any marks they do easily wash out unlike other natural deodorants I've used that have stained my clothes.
It feels really nice on my skin and doesn't dry out my armpits.
Also feel like the tube is lasting a long time.
Cons:
When it's cold the tube is a little hard to squeeze without the tool you can buy as an extra.
I've got used to using my hands to rub it on, but I do have to wash my hands after putting it on every time.
It's a little expensive but honestly I'm really happy to have finally found a deodorant that works for me so happy to pay the price
This product didn't work for me, and it has taken over a week for the armpit I trialled this on to be odor-free with alum. This is obviously very annoying as someone who runs every day and gyms 6+ times a week!
I'm sure if you just want a deodorant to cover up smells and no antiperspirant at all, this might work okay as it does smell great, but for the active person, it sadly just doesn't hold up.
I also got this delivered in winter, and it had popped because it was so cold and solid! Not ideal really, but I did get a refund from Amazon. [It took 6hrs to be soft enough to use after that!]
I'm going back to alum crystal 🔮

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.

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**

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.
