Akt’s deodorants, created by founders Ed Currie and Andy Coxon, who needed relief from the sweltering heat from long performance days, come in a variety of sophisticated scents like The Onsen, a combination of lavandin, yuzu, and vetiver. The brand recently added an unscented version to the lineup, which features chic and 100 percent recyclable packaging that’s hard to resist.
Aluminum-free: Yes
Size: 1.7 oz.
An ELLE editor says: “No matter the heat, this natural deodorant keeps me fresh and dry all day long. I enjoy the scented versions, but they recently released an unscented version, which is great if you are fragrance averse. The tube lasts a long time, too! At least two to three months, and that’s using it every day, twice a day.” —Danielle James, digital beauty director
