The Ilex WoodSpiced Patchouli Woody 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

This is the first natural-ingredient deodorant I've found that actually works, after 12 years of using various natural products. It actually leaves me not only odor-free and drier, but smelling good– I got the patchouli scent.The results last for 24 hours on a low-perspiration day, and at least 16 hours on a high-perspiration day, even through workouts and stress or detox perspiration. I'm still smelling good even after my workouts!I even notice it absorbs perspiration, going beyond just neutralising odor. So I'm left drier, without my sweat pores being blocked like how heavy metal-ladened 'antiperspirants' work– blocking your body's release of sweat is terrible for you and toxic! I'm so glad I've discovered halfway through life that it IS possible to be healthy And not stinky. What a God send!I only need to use a little., less than what the container recommends even. The tube lasted me about 4 months.It's a great compact size, and the round shape makes it easy to throw in your bag, even makeup bag, and to travel with.The consistency is smooth and comfortable, absorbs easily. Sometimes I just hold it to my underarms for 3 seconds before gliding it across my skin, to get the best application results. This softens it up with body heat so it glides on the best.I have sensitive skin – this stuff does Not irritate my skin or create clogged pores.I love that the packaging is also plastic free.I used to think £10-£12 for deodorant was too much but I was only stubbornly wasting my money on deodorants that didn't work just because I thought £7 was a more 'reasonable' price for something I put on my pits. Considering this stuff works for real and the tube lasts months, it turns out the price is reasonable after all!I hope that the company and people behind it are as lovely as the product, and I like to think I'm supporting a good company and people.

### Review: Ylang Ylang & Cedarwood Natural Deodorant StickIf you’re searching for a natural deodorant that truly delivers, look no further than the Ylang Ylang & Cedarwood Natural Deodorant Stick. This handcrafted gem stands out not only for its effectiveness but also for its delightful fragrance and thoughtful ingredients.#### FragranceThe combination of ylang ylang and cedarwood creates a beautifully balanced scent that is both calming and invigorating. The floral notes of ylang ylang blend seamlessly with the earthy, woody undertones of cedarwood, making it a perfect choice for both men and women. It’s subtle enough not to overpower, yet noticeable enough to provide a refreshing burst of aroma throughout the day.#### PerformanceOne of the standout features of this deodorant is its performance. Unlike many natural deodorants that require frequent reapplication, this one offers long-lasting protection against odour. I’ve found it effective even on warmer days, which is a testament to its quality. It goes on smoothly and doesn’t leave any sticky or greasy residue, which is a significant plus.#### IngredientsWhat sets this deodorant apart is its use of natural ingredients. Free from aluminium, parabens, and synthetic fragrances, it’s a healthier option for those looking to avoid harsh chemicals. The inclusion of ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil not only helps to nourish the skin but also provides a smooth application.#### PackagingThe eco-friendly packaging is another reason to love this product. The deodorant stick comes in a biodegradable paper tube, making it a sustainable choice for the environmentally conscious consumer. It’s heartening to see a product that’s as kind to the planet as it is to your body.#### Overall ImpressionsThe Ylang Ylang & Cedarwood Natural Deodorant Stick is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a natural, effective, and pleasantly scented deodorant. Its long-lasting performance, coupled with its commitment to natural ingredients and eco-friendly packaging, makes it a standout product in the crowded market of natural deodorants. Give it a try, and you might find yourself making the switch for good.

The media could not be loaded. I recently tried this deodorant and found it to be a great choice overall. Its biggest advantage is its eco-friendly packaging, which is completely free from steel and plastic—a feature I truly appreciate. The scent and texture are pleasant, though the fragrance doesn’t last very long, likely due to its natural formulation. While the packaging design itself didn’t appeal to me, the product performs well. A solid 4-star choice!

Purchased a fair few of these Cedarwood deo sticks now, and it’s become my go to fragrance of choice. Compared to all of the other natural deodorant companies, I’d say Holly’s Ilex Wood hits the nail on the head.This particular fragrance has a subtle but tasteful, woody cedar scent, that mingles with a sharper, clean top note of the Ylang Ylang. It lingers for a good amount of time, so two days later, if your being particularly unclean or it’s not convenient to bathe if your busy with work (or you just don’t smell that much anymore, because the deo has changed your armpit chemistry) you can still pick up the nice scent on your body, and your clothes clearly still smell of it. It lasts a lot longer than most if not all of the other ‘natural’ brands, plus there’s no allergic reaction, which is great for me, and one of the main reasons I buy it. Admittedly it’s not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for, and what I’m paying for is peace of mind knowing I won’t get a reaction, and peace of mind knowing it’s a sophisticated, long lasting smell which truly works.Keep up the good work Holly!
