WHAT IS SODIUM BICARBONATE?

Commonly found in mineral springs, sodium bicarbonate, or 'bicarb' in the UK and 'baking soda' in America, is celebrated for its natural cleansing properties, making it ideal for eco-friendly skincare solutions.

WHY AKT CHOOSES SODIUM BICARBONATE FOR DEODORANT BALMS?

Thanks to its antibacterial and pH neutralising properties, sodium bicarbonate is excellent at neutralising the acidity of sweat, thereby eliminating odour-causing bacteria. This makes it a cornerstone in formulations designed to reduce underarm odour naturally, ensuring our deodorants are not only effective but also gentle on sensitive skin.

THE TREND OF 'BAKING SODA FREE' DEODORANTS

Some brands promote 'baking soda free' products as a marketing strategy, suggesting that sodium bicarbonate might be abrasive or harmful. However, at AKT, our clinically tested deodorant balm proves that it’s a safe choice even for sensitive skin, unlike some chemical deodorants.

SENSITIVE SKIN AND FRAGRANCE ALLERGIES

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, ideal for those seeking vegan and cruelty-free skincare options.
