The Ilex Wood Natural Deodorant - 2.4fl oz. Handmade, Aluminum Salt Free, Plastic Free, Cruelty and Alcohol Free, Vegan, Eco Friendly Cardboard Tube – Ylang Ylang & Cedarwood (Sweet & Woody)

I was looking for something without lavender, aluminum-free, and handmade, and this deodorant really stood out to me. It might not have a "strong" scent like most people are used to like, but that’s the beauty of using essential oils: the products don’t contain artificial fragrances. In terms of effectiveness, it works surprisingly well, but of course, don’t expect it to last for three days straight, since it’s a natural product. I stay fresh throughout the day and I take a shower every day. I also love how gentle it feels on my skin; it’s very smooth and non-irritating. If the deodorant doesn’t seem to last all day for you, it might be worth checking in on your digestion generally, body odor shouldn’t be that strong if everything’s balanced internally. The deodorant does its job, and that’s what really matters. I hope they come out with more versions, since I’m trying to avoid lavender altogether. Would I buy it again? Yes, definitely.

Excellent product. Works great for over 24 hours. I love the smell, texture, and that it has all natural ingredients. I have sensitive skin and I have been using this product for over a week and have not have any irritation to my skin. Will buy it again for sure

Expensive for the amount and length it lasts, unfortunately. It doesn't last long, feels tacky. Smells wonderful while it lasts.

I currently see a Rheumatologist for some health issues I've been experiencing recently. A question that I was asked surprised me, but it was, "Do you get itchy?" Long story short, I did struggle with an itchy scalp, armpits, and ears. The recommendation was to replace my cleansing items (shampoo, deodorant, feminine wash, etc.) with items that contain Tea Tree Oil. Since using this deodorant, my armpits do not itch ever! I am so pleasantly surprised how drastic of a change this product made for me. The smell is nice and clean, but not overly strong so you aren't getting whiffs of yourself all day. (good or bad? you decide) It was delivered not long after I'd ordered it, which is nice since I live in a very rural area. The packaging is unique, made from paper products (like cardboard) and it is a push up from the bottom type of dispenser instead of turning a dial. My only thing is that I don't have sweaty pits, nor do I suffer from very bad body odor. So, if that is something you struggle with, it may not fight off odor as well as you'd need.

Great stuff! This is my second order!

This went on clumpy, with bits nearly the size of peas hanging from under arm hair. I smoothed things out with a Kleenex, but my lasting impression was to not use it anymore. It did not sting and does not seem to have much odor. Since I do not really over exert, I cannot say about how well it hides body odor.

Smells great and blocks body odor really well. I sweat every day at work and other natural deodorants dont work as well as this one. Only flaw is i wish it came with more in the tube

The one pro about this is the scent. Smells really good. There are several cons, though: it’s way more small than what you’d expect, almost travel size. You push it up from the bottom when applying, but it’s so soft that just a few swipes and a significant amount is gone. It also leaves a lot of gritty bits behind that are annoying. For the price, not worth it at all. I really wanted to like this, but it’s just a disappointment.

This is the second purchase of this deodorant stick for me. First one I bought was for my son who had experienced an underarm rash after using a spray deodorant. I loved the smell so much, I bought a second one for me. So far, I love the product: when you put it on, it takes a few seconds to dry or absorb but I've noticed it lasts all day and feels comfortable to wear. My son loved it too but, as some others have reported, found it to be insufficient for a prolonged work shift where he might sweat more due to activity. He found it does wear off after about 6 hours and he was unconfident to wear it for more active occasions. In summary, I suppose it depends on the person but if underarm sweating and odour is a problem for some this may not be sufficiently potent enough whereas for someone like me who isn't an excessive perspirer, I find it effective, gentle and smells wonderful.

Sehr guter Duft und vorallem gefällt mir, das die Verarbeitung und Material deutlich besser ist als bei anderen Herstellern.

Fantástico! Llevo un tiempo en perimenopausia y los desodorantes de siempre ya no duraban no medio día porque enseguida sentía que olía mal (quien este en mi situación lo entenderá). No tenía mucha confianza en este porque pensaba que algo natural no me quitaría el mal olor, pero qué equivocada estaba! Me encanta, es duradero, no mancha, no lleva productos tóxicos ni aluminio. No volveré a comprar los de antes. Muy satisfecha.

Best natural deodorant I’ve ever used.

Sent très bon, efficace et agréable à appliquer sur la peau.je recommande.
