The Ilex WoodLavender and Lemon Natural Deodorant - 70ml. Natural Deo in Eco Friendly Cardboard Tube, Vegan, no Plastic, no Alcohol, no Toxins, no Aluminium Salts & Cruelty Free for Women & Men

Here is why I have rated this deodorant 5*SCENT - Cedarwood and Ylang-Ylang not too overpowering and is very pleasent.PRO's - No more scooping out a paste and getting it under the nails.No more strange looks in the gym changing room scooping paste out from a jar. The stick is easier to apply, less cumbersome and doesn't draw unwanted attention.I have used all natural deodorants for many years and most are scentless or the scent wears away quickly! This deodorant held up all day and beyond on a single application.USE - I followed the very thorough instructions provided. On first use, you must push up the stick, this took me a moment but with enough pressure I got it to the starting point...after this it has been very easy.I held the stick under the arm against the skin to warm it up to make application easier (as suggested). The natural oils do help to keep the skin nicely nourished and I had no drying out. If I found applying a little dry (my own impatience for not warming it up enough under the arm), then I would massage the residual in and this resolved the issue in seconds. I am human and I do not always apply the time needed when in a rush!I had never used a stick deodorant like this before and I spent the first few days working out on how best to apply. I now feel very confident in applying the product.(It really doesn't take long to sufficiently warm the stick up)DURABILITY- This is so important for any deodorant and I needed to put it through its paces to make sure it met the needs of what I was looking for.NON NATURAL DEODORANTS are full of ingredients that block pours to prevent odour. I cannot use these kinds of products that usually contain aluminium or alcohol as my glands become raised and painful. This is why I can only use products free of these ingredients.I applied the Ylang-Ylang and Cedarwood stick after a shower, went to the gym with a mix of cardio/weight training. It held up so well, I could not detect any odour and the scent was still holding out. I decided to test its durability further to see how long I could make it last before I could pick up any odour....yep! I am sorry if this sounds horrible but it is about value for money and the product being fit for purpose.I applied the deodorant in the morning after a shower, spent my day doing all the usual activities and had a training session that evening and went to bed. The next day I had an early morning cardio and gym session. The conclusion of my VALUE FOR MONEY/DURABILITY TEST, was it held up for 24 hours + and I still did not detect any odour.Now all our bodies are different but I have never used a natural product that has held up that well under the same conditions.I never usually leave many reviews for anything I buy. Yet I had made an effort to share my review as I do hope this will benefit anyone looking to purchase an all natural deodorant. Looking to understand the benefits of this product in particular. I hope even though for my own personal assessment for value and how well the product will work for me.I hope this review will help anyone who is looking to try this product, looking for a new deodorant or wanting to know more information from a customer. It is very well priced and extremely fantastic value and delivers on every level I needed it to.

I bought this for my wife after she sent me the link. Her and my teen daughter have been using it for a week now. They've asked me to review this and share how clean and fresh the scent is, lasts all day and not wet or greasy. My wife was looking for a natural / organic underarm deodorant without the harsh chemicals. Shes thrilled with this purchase and the essential oils in the product is an added bonus. Everything that you put on your skin goes directly into your bloodstream. I will continue to be a loyal customer. Brilliant product!

Very nice-smelling deodorant, and the product is well made and well packaged. The scent is mild and fresh. Much better than a bunch of chemicals packaged in plastic, which is what I used to buy. The cardboard tube is very strong and does the job well. This kind of solid deodorant stick also lasts for ages, so it's worth the price. Great to see a new breed of company offering better products than what we had in the past.

Really effective and good quality. This works really well for me, obviously everyone is different. I have been using ‘natural’ , aluminium free deodorants for many years so I’m used to the concept ( and the extra cost ) but I haven’t tried a solid ‘stick’ deodorant of any kind for probably over 20 years.I have used this every day for about 8 weeks and it’s almost run out. It has been very hot during a lot of that time and I can confirm I have not smelt sweaty at all. It’s important to note that this is not an anti-perspirant, you will still sweat. For me it was very effective in stopping unpleasant smells. I am menopausal so sweat is a problem (especially at night) but I have found this to last the full 24 hours on me . I can’t however vouch for how effective this is if you were to do any extreme exercise or if you are a younger person.*Make sure to hold it under the armpit for a couple of seconds to soften it up*I personally like the smell of Ylang Ylang and Cedarwood but I know not everyone does. I didn’t find the smell strong or weak , it was just right. I see there are other scents I may try them too.The push up packaging is a little difficult , increasingly towards the end of the product. I feel I may have to waste a couple of days worth of the stick because I can’t reach into the tube enough to apply sufficient pressure. This is the nature of the cardboard design , I’m not sure anything can be done but it may deter some. I think I’ve probably had my moneys worth.I’m just about to order again , I see that I can buy a pack of two for slightly cheaper so that will helpOh and of course it didn’t irritate my skin, feel particularly greasy or stain my clothes ( I don’t wear tight or fancy things however!)I’m buying this again today
