Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars5* All Natural Deodorant! Delivers on every level
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2022
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.

3.0 out of 5 starsUnusable container
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2022
I’m sure this could be an incredible push stick deodorant but the paper container makes it impractical. It appears that by it sitting in the container long term the paper absorbs most of the product’s moisture and prevents it from being pushed upward without great force. When you do finally manage to get it out it makes an absolute mess because there’s not enough oils left in it to allow it to remain pliable, it’s basically dried out sodium bicarbonate by the time you receive it which doesn’t do much. I had to take out the deodorant from both sticks and add Vitamin E oil to them and put them in a dark glass jar and use them as a “rub in” deodorant. Beyond the frustrating packaging, they do work really, really well at keeping smell at bay and making me feel super fresh all day. I want to support this seller and their brand but until the packaging can be addressed I think I’ll stick with the brands that come in glass jars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2022

I've had problems with deodorants for many years. Recently these reactions have been prolonged, intense and painful. I moved onto aluminium free and alcohol free options, but the issue didn't resolve. I was attracted to this deodorant because of its natural ingredients, in the hope that I would be able to find something to use that would not feel like salt being added to sandpaper every morning. The packaging is lovely. The deodorant itself is solid and the cardboard tube is stiff; you push it up from underneath gently but firmly. Initially it feels difficult to apply, but I found leaving the deodorant on the skin for ten seconds before moving it helped to spread it evenly and more easily. A little bit goes a long way and it takes just a little longer to dry, but dries nicely. I was unsure about the scent at first; it's not at all synthetic like all the deodorants I've used before, it was quite earthy. However I now really like it, and other products feel artificial and chemical; it makes me want to use even more natural products as a result because I can see how fake the majority of scented products are. The issue I was worried about most was whether it would last all day. For some reason I doubted its ability to work all day, but it does! It's very effective and I feel confident when wearing it that it won't stop working even after a busy day. I will certainly be ordering again and highly recommend. Keep an open mind when your deodorant first arrives because it takes some adjusting when going from synthetic deodorants to natural ones. It's worth it though because synthetic deodorants contain some dubious ingredients which are being directly applied to a delicate part of the body, to skin that is especially porous. Since using this my skin has improved - it's not healed but it is certainly less aggravated and the deodorant doesn't sting when I put it on.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic find.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2022

Discoverd this deodorant by chance and am delighted with it. A buttery texture without being oily so it goes on easily, I didn't find the need to warm it up with my fingers before application as suggested by the company owner. For me the scent is a crucial element and many natural products I've tried in the past often miss the mark being either a little too floral or weak for my taste. The product is non gender specific so will suit anybody and due to its composition will undoubtedly produce different notes on different skins, the earthy ceadarwood is cut with a fresh hit of ylang ylang which is just subtle enough to produce an intriguing herbal fresh zing without being overtly feminine. That's not to say it's distinctly for men it's a superb fragrance that will smell fab on anyone. Longevity wise it appears to last too I applied a small quantity about eight hours ago and it is still detectable. Super impressed and looking to try other products by the company. Great customer's service too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Idea but...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2022

I take my hat off to the good people at the Ilex Wood Store. Not only is this a British-made product but it is totally plastic free and completely recyclable. It is effective and I also think it smells very good.

However, it's a messy little fella! The stick distributes around the cardboard packaging because the silo it sits in provides such a tight fit that when you retract it a residue is left. When you reach for it in the morning you get this on your hands. After a while it looks a right mess.

It also leaves lots of residue on the pits of your shirts and tops. Since I've been using it I've had to pre-wash all the garments I've worn with it, prior to putting them in the washing machine, such is the extent of the soiling though this does come out. I've never experienced this with any (roll-on) deodorant before. I should add that I do not sweat much habitually and this is based on my experience of normal day-to-day activity, not physical exercise and exertion. Be warned, if you wear white shirts this residue appears as a dirty yellow stain with just one application.

I would also add that it is not the most pleasant deodorant to apply. It's a 'dry' stick and feels like running sandpaper over the skin.

It's a nice idea but I'm afraid I'm not going to be coming back for more until it cleans up its (little) act!

That’s what my lovely wife said to me today…

I gave my wife an Ilex Wood gift set for Christmas and she loved everything about it, the quality, the eco-friendliness, the scent, the story of Ilex Wood.

So on noticing the new deodorant, I had to buy it for her and…

Big brownie points for me!

She loves it - and again the quality, the scent, everything is brilliant.

Thank you Ilex …from us both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent completey natural deodrant
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2022

If you're looking for real natural ingredient deodrant then look no further. I looked at many larger brands before this one but despite them claiming to be natural, they still had chemicals or water added which can cause irritation on sensitive skin.
I think this product could be an acquired taste scent-wise but it's so effective. Other natural deodrants are sticky and leave residue or stain clothing but this does none of those things, doesn't feel like you're wearing any at all.
I notice when this warms up the scent becomes stronger which is good and it does mask any unwanted BO.
This also comes in a cardboard tube which makes it even more sustainable and I haven't had any issues with this method despite reviews mentioning this being difficult... Just be gentle and it's fine

5.0 out of 5 stars An unusual underarm/body design stick.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 May 2022
Verified Purchase
I bought this because of the Ylang-ylang content. (Not sure about the Cedarwood as I use it to keep moths away!)
1. I bought it because my usual deo is just getting to a silly price.
2. Ingredients were intriguing.
3. I wanted to support this girl with her business...too many corporates out there!
4. I like the biodegradable packaging although it was a fiddle & was annoying to start.
5. The stick was a little flaky/messy to start with but I've learned to slow down & apply it more gently.
I think its still a tad too expensive but I am aware how much natural Ingredients cost, marketing etc etc.....Good luck & best wishes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great long-lasting scent - and natural too!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2022
Verified Purchase
I have always used natural deodorants, usually of the 'crystal stick' variety, but I decided to try out this new product for a change... and I'm glad I did!

Unlike other brands, I haven't yet gone 'nose blind' with this one - I can still smell the beautifully blended Ylang Ylang and Cedarwood oil throughout the day.

The product is not 'sticky' or 'oily' and is applied easily (if you heed the hints that accompany the product).

I am sensitive to many 'under arm' products, but so far, I have has no irritation from this product whatsoever.

I will definately be ordering this product again - would like to try other scent combinations too...

Don't know yet how long the 'stick' lasts, but after a week, it hasn't gone down noticeably, so I expect quite a few week's use out of this.

Very satisfied customer - keep up the good work!

4.0 out of 5 stars better than expected but developed a rash after a week of use
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 June 2022

I’ve tried a few different natural deodorant products but usually end up smelling like BO with a hint of fragrance. I wore this for the first time today and took my dog on a hot and sunny 90 minute walk. To my surprise I still had a pleasant smelling armpit! It’s an excellent product with really nice packaging and has a lovely long-lasting but not overpowering scent. Unfortunately after a week or so of use I developed a stinging red rash in my armpit. It’s such a disappointment as the deodorant really works for me. It’s a bit of trial and error but I will have to stop using this one sadly.
