| Caveat | Says it is 75% through the B Corp process and hoped to submit by end of 2025, so the certification is still unearned; the 'chemical free' claim is scientifically meaningless. No independent certification. The only marks this brand carries are retailer standards, set by the shop that sells it rather than by a certifier. |
| Reports note | <p>Recyclable aluminium; no COAs</p> |
Why there is no score: Partial read. This verdict is provisional. Only part of the catalogue could be read and the certifications listed have not been checked against the certifiers own registers, so the evidence does not yet support a settled verdict. No score is published. Ingredient lists were obtained for 11 of 23 products, 48 percent of the catalogue. The other 12 products publish no ingredient list that could be read. A percentage drawn from part of a catalogue is not a figure for the range, so none is shown.
Catalogue 23 products, 11 with an ingredient list, 12 without.

Not yet independently verified. The certifications listed for this brand are as the brand states them. They have not yet been checked against the certifiers own registers, so they should be read as a claim rather than a confirmed fact.
We analysed 11 AKT London products, categorising every listed ingredient by function, origin (raw natural, naturally derived or synthetic) and safety concern. This is not the whole catalogue, so it is reported as a partial read. Percentages show the share of each formula that is natural or naturally derived.
Most common flags: Parfum (Fragrance), Limonene, Linalool, Pinene, Citral, Linalyl Acetate, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Pogostemon Cablin Oil, Camphor, Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil
Coverage: Partial read: ingredient lists were published for 11 of 23 products, 48 percent of the catalogue. No average is shown, because a figure drawn from part of a catalogue is not the figure for the range.
