We track AKT THE DEODORANT BALM. Award winning, multi-use, natural alongside 29 other bath & body products, comparing it on rating, how many people have rated it and what it currently costs. According to the listing: AKT was created by two performers from London's West End when no other deodorant was making the cut under hot lights, 8 shows a week. AWARD WINNING: AKT is the winner of Marie Claire's "BEST SUSTAINABLE DEODORANT", Harper's Bazaar's "BEST DEODORANT", and Stylist's "BEST PLASTIC FREE PRODUCT OF 2023" awards. Those are the seller's own claims rather than our testing, so treat them as a starting point. On Amazon it holds 3.9 out of 5 from 1,300 ratings.

How it compares in Bath & Body
Across the 30 rated bath & body products we track, the typical score is 4.6 out of 5. This one sits at 3.9, which is in the bottom quarter of the category. That does not make it a bad buy, but there are better-rated alternatives on the same shelf, so it needs another reason to earn your money.
It carries 1,300 ratings against a category median of 5,179. That is a thin base by the standards of this category, so treat the score as provisional: a handful of extra reviews can still move it either way.
On price it sits in the upper third of a category running from £1.00 to £21.00, where the midpoint is about £6.50. Paying above the category norm needs a reason beyond the rating, because the score alone does not justify the gap here.
