THE DEODORANT BALM. Award winning, multi-use, natural deodorant. Plastic Free. Gender Free. Aluminium Free. 100% effective — 1 tube lasts up to 3 months. SC.02 AFTER THUNDER. 50ml

I bought this at the start of the the year and I feel like I've really put it through it's paces. I'm a performer (who sweats a lot!) and I've been touring a very active show to some wildly different climates; from the tiny cold Scottish isle of Mull to the south of France in 40 degree heat to very humid Singapore. 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!

Would highly recommend this product. After using sprays and roll on deodorant for years they didn’t always work that effectively. My daughter introduced me to this deodorant and I’ve never looked back. Very effective even at the end of a workout, a long day travelling or some on a hot day. The variety of scents are subtle and fresh smelling. They cause absolutely no skin irritation and l have sensitive skin. The tube itself is strong and sturdy. I would recommend a tube squeezer for ease of use and get the most out of this product. It causes no stains at all on clothing and so easy to apply. I love the fresh feeling at the end of a day. Although it’s more expensive than most deodorants on the market it’s worth it as it’s highly effective. When you do sweat a lot, your armpits can feel a little bit damp but there is no sweat smell at all.

I bought the orange fragrance and it reminds me a little of the rituals orange body cream only not as strong. It works very well though :) I've tried wild and fussy and both at the end of the day my underarms were wet and a slight odour :-( the only thing that stops it getting a 5 star is the lid is a littke fiddly and really shouldn't be needing to jab a pen into it to open. A design flaw really for something so expensive. Also once rubbed in it is quite powdery and did get a little on my black top but overall im just happy that finally I've found something that stops me sweating. I've also bought a 5ml sample of the columbia Road one which is tiny but smells very much of violets :) like the daisy twinkle perfume or a nice M&S handcream. Again the lid is a little fiddly. With the 5ml you break the nozzle then put it back in upside down.

Doesn’t work, you sweat right through, it then ends up like a wet paste that feels horrible. Product smells nice but not worth the money. My cheaper deodorant works better… thought I’d give this ago as everyone raved about it… don’t know why…

It lasts all day and has a pleasant scent. Unfortunately, it leaves white marks on clothing that are difficult to remove. Given the high price point, this is something they should really improve.

I've tried every deodorant/antiperspirant going, and never found one that worked completely. Some worked well but made me smell weird, whereas other made me smell lovely, but let me down. I cannot remember how I found out about this but it is soooo good. Pros: it is human, and planet friendly, residue free, doesn't harm your clothes, and can be used anywhere on the body, including the face, and underboob sweat is a thing of the past. That said, it is unisex, so you can share the same product. It smells lovely but not overpowering, (Onsen (purple tube) is my go-to), it also comes in fragrance free, it's easy to apply, it keeps you fresh and dry, and the tube last for a good 6-8 weeks depending on how often you reapply. A 'pea' size dollop is honestly all you need. There are no lasting, unpleasant side effects either that you can get from 'professional' products. Cons: It can make you a bit itchy but just wash off and use less next time, and you'll definitely need 'The Assistant' which is a tube 'key' because the tube is hard to squeeze using your hand. These keys are available anywhere tho, so not really a 'con'. I love it. Finish the tube and place in the recycling. What's not to love?! It might not be for all, and it could be called pricey, BUT, having something that actually works, is worth its weight in gold. I will definitely continue to buy this 🙂

I bought the orange smelling one and it’s fresh and pleasant, but also only a faint smell. The deodorant is fantastic - in the recent hot weather I was melting and sopping wet all over so I was very impressed that I no longer sweat under my arms or boobs. I would thoroughly recommend. Note to designers: I’m sure if you could create a face deodorant that didn’t mess with facial skin or make up it would also be a best seller. Actors must also experience that awful head sweats. Excellent quality

It’s not working and had bad smell and it’s hard to squeeze all I get oily stains everywhere

This stops my stink. I’m a middle aged woman, and since hitting my mid 40s I have developed BO that comes on strong. I went from using women’s deodorant to men’s natural-ish deodorant to men’s extra strength deodorant and by mid day I smell like an adolescent: like BO lightly veiled by synthetic fragrance. I have purchased drug store priced deodorant to Whole Foods priced deodorant and nothing last a full day for me. I’m not in a super hot place geographically, my job doesn’t require strenuous physical activity, so by rights man-strength deodorant should work. It doesn’t. I purchased AKT (white tube/thunderstorm scent) because I was influenced and ready to try something new for my issue. The ads kept popping up in my insta feed and I decided to try AKT fully expecting it to be disappointing. IT IS THE ONLY deodorant that had worked beyond 24 hours for me. I bought my full size tube over a month ago and I’m not even halfway done with it yet. It works so well! A little goes a long way too! I squeeze out a pea sized amount for each pit, rub it in with my fingers and I’m done for the day. Really. The whole day! Other reviews have said that the tube splits, the contents dry up, the smell is overpowering. None of these things have happened to me. It took some time to get used to the scent I chose, but it’s not a fake smelling scent that you find in typical deodorants. It’s intense when you first put it on, but mellows out. I have had less residue left behind on my clothing too. I have not seen yellow stains on my white shirts either. I apply it with my fingers (no applicator for me) and it works well on both smooth and hairy pits. I don’t feel dampness in my pits or sticky sliminess that would come from typical deodorants. I bought a tube key (a few bucks on amazon) to help roll the tube. My one and only gripe is that the screw on cap is tiny. If you have finger dexterity issues, this might be a challenge. In warmer weather there was an oily leak from the tube (less of a leak, more like seepage), but since the temps have cooled this isn’t an issue. Thank you for making a product that actually works for perimenopausal women.

It has a pleasant smell and stops unpleasant body odour, so you can confidently go out, even when it's hot (tested in the Provence in August).

Best deodorant ever that does not ruin clothes or leave stains. Also, healthier option.

Also. Produkt ist gut aber ehrlich gesagt so unbequem für nutzen.
