I have sensitive skin, are your products suitable?Updated 10 months ago

We are a natural deodorant brand, but if you have sensitive skin, we highly recommend checking the ingredients on each of our product pages for any known allergens.

Did you know we do have our sensitive, fragrance-free version of our Deodorant Balm called SC.00 No Notes.

All of our fragranced offerings contain essential oils. Although the levels are well within regulated limits, some people may be sensitive to our fragrance blend, particularly on underarm skin, which is one of the most delicate areas on the body. Skin reactions are often triggered by allergens in fragrances, many of which derive from essential oils. Despite their natural origin, these can be potent allergens. AKT deodorants meet IFRA standards for fragrance safety, making them ideal for those seeking vegan and cruelty-free skincare options. Everyone's skin is different, and although we have thousands of happy customers, a small percentage may find our formula too sensitive for their skin.

It’s worth noting that on rare occasions, some customers may be sensitive to sodium bicarbonate, which is in our formulation. It's a terrific ingredient for deodorising, and although we use it at extremely low levels without compromising its effectiveness, some customers may be sensitive to it. We have written a blog on debunking the myths about sodium bicarbonate, which you can read more about here.

Sometimes underarm skin can become irritated for various reasons. If any customers do notice a reaction, we recommend stopping the use of the product until the skin has healed.
