Most Helpful Positive Review I'm happily impressed I have been on a journey with natural deodorants. I'm always looking for something aluminum free and baking soda free which is often hard to find a product that has my requirements met and actually performs well. I was hesitant about this purchase but an Ulta worker actually overheard I wasn't sure which of the deodorants I brought up to the register I was taking home because I was mostly going of of my own requirements and the reviews + comments. She took a glance at my selection and declared none of them were worthy and told me about this one. I actually had thought about picking up this deodorant but as I said the reviews kinda kept me hesitant. She sounded so sure about it I put my hesitation away and purchased it. Long story short this is the first natural,aluminum free,baking soda free deodorant that has actually worked for me personally! I went a whole day without needed to re-apply and it did a great job of hiding that social anxiety sweat I get while out with a friend! The smell is a nice clean scent that doesn't bother this picky fragrance snob and THE PERFORMANCE! I can't be more satisfied with it. Although I have left it 4 stars because room for improvement. The texture.. is a bit creamy but I can conform to using a bit of finger play if it comes with the the rest of the pros list.
Most Helpful Critical Review You could make this in your kitchen. Your expectations will determine if you like this or not. I was hoping for a stick deodorant that could be applied straight from the stick without having to be rubbed into the skin with your hands. This is not that. You could (and I have) make this in your kitchen with a few simple ingredients and some essential oils. I got it on sale so I'm not going to complain but no way I'd pay full price for something so messy. It's a PASTE. You swipe it once or twice under your arm then have to rub it into your skin. It feels like it has a considerable amount of baking soda in it so I think it will work well (just used it today). I've been using natural deodorant for years and the best so far is Lavanila, especially if using it straight from the stick to the skin is important for you. For the money though, this formula isn't worth the mess. Just a sidenote, ANY natural deodorant formula with baking soda is likely to cause irritation to those not used to using it every day. Baking soda is abrasive after all. I'd recommend getting a natural recipe from Google and making small amount gradually increasing the baking soda if you're serious about switching to all natural. Then if you want to you'll be able to use the commercial/natural formulations no problem. IMO though formulas without any baking soda don't work nearly as well and make the transition from antiperspirants more difficult. It's still definitely worth getting off the aluminum products though! Once you make it through the detox phase you'll never go back!!!

Finally found a nonaluminum product that actually works all day including working out
No thanks 2
Kay from Loveland, CO
I'm not a fan of the smell, which is a huge bummer because I love lavender and tea tree scents. I didn't like the consistency. It didn't last as long as expected. The price is ridiculous for the product. Essentially you're paying for the pretty packaging. I'll probably go back to using Native.
Just ok 4
Kmik from Kansas City
This deodorant is just ok. I can find others for a cheaper price. I still had to reapply
Shocked at it's effectiveness! 5
Sarah D. from Dallas, TX
I'd almost given up on finding a natural deodorant that not only smells good (or doesn't smell much at all) but actually works! Nothing has held a candle to this extra strength Milk & Honey deodorant.
I have a couple tubes from another brand that are fairly effective at controlling odor for a while but I'm liking their available fragrance combo options less and less nowadays. I have so many half full tubes of various other natural deodorant brands I've tried & abandoned, as they were NOT working and I stunk within an hour. It's odd, as back in the day, when I used deoderant & antipersperant, my pitt odor wasn't problematic. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I already have and adore a jar of bath salts and a body lotion from Milk & Honey, so when I found they also carried deodorants, I was excited! I did a ton of research before landing on this extra strength version, and have so far been thrilled with how effective it is. No negative skin reactions either. My (very patient) boyfriend was inundated with me saying "omg, smell my pitts!" for the first couple days I applied it, as there was no odor, just a very light hint of a fragrance. So happy with this purchase!
THE BEST 5
marye from Omaha
This is by far the best natural deodorant on the market. I love the smell, and it keeps me fresh for SO long. Like more than 24 hours…. I will probably never go back.

POWERFUL product but POWERFUL smell 4
Natural Deodorant Seeker from Minnesota
This product WORKS. Like really stays on for even more than 24 hours. I've tried lots of natural deodorants since switching over and this one is the only one that has kept me from sweating constantly and getting smelly. However, I'm giving it four stars rather than five due to the strong scent - the tea tree is powerful and overbearing, and the rough application. If the scent was better, I'd give it five because a rough application tends to go hand in hand with working natural deodorants (at least in my experience). So far this works the best but smartpits works just enough to last the day and smells great. Fix the smell and maybe soften the product up a little, and I'll stop my search for finding the next best thing because this could be it. *if you don't mind the tea tree smell, then this is for you!
Super Cakey, No Thanks 2
jP from California
I love the scent and the packaging but OMG, the texture is all over the place. It stains your clothing and it's super crumbly when you apply it. I was hoping for better but I guess I'll have to go back to Kopari.
Smells bad 1
Zeke from Virginia
spicy smell doesn't smell fresh, stinks
no smell but will sweat 3
olie23 from Miami
other deodorants have left body odor, this one I think is pretty good. my only complaint is that I will sweat like crazy in humid weather. like seriously drenched in sweat. so I guess if you live in a dry climate this is for you!
Stinks! 2
LisaPizza from So Cal
The fragrance is over the top. I need an anti-perspirant, not something to mask the smell.
The winner 5
Alyshalove from Brooklyn, NY
I have purchased 55 natural deodorants and this is by far the best! It stays on all day and I do not have to worry about bringing it in my purse for a second application! I can wear this confidently. The smell is delightful but not overpowering. I look forward to putting this on instead of it being an after thought! Will buy again. Trying not to buy 5 and be a hoarder!
Love it 5
Heather from PA
I've tried several different natural deodorants and this is the only one I dare to wear to the gym. Generally keeps me dry and stink-free! The scent is nice too! I will purchase again and again!
Love it! Very deodorizing with tea tree 5
LadyinLA from Los Angeles, CA
Saw this during the 21 days sale, and gave it a try. First of all, it is a stick, not a roll on. Like Megababe or LaVanila, it is a fragrant, white stick. I could not make this at home. I love that it is all natural and I think the antibacterial properties of the tea tree makes it last longer. The fragrance is lovely, and it works great. I'm adding it to my regular rotation. Love it!
Wow!!!! 5
CStuart from Hiram, Georgia
Love it!. I have been using natural deodorant for a couple of years and this one is by far the best. 24hrs later and I still smell fresh.
Obsessed 5
Manda from Fresno, CA
I bought this on a whim during Ulta's 21 days of beauty. I've been on the hunt for a good deodorant. Not really sure why, but in the last year I've noticed I seem to perspire a great deal under my arms. I've tried every extra strength deodorant you could think of, and nothing seemed to work. This stuff is AMAZING and I am so obsessed with it! I've only been using it for about a week, but I'm definitely hooked and have been telling all my friends about it! The smell is meh, you're either going to love it or hate it, I don't mind it. The texture is kind of odd, like a paste almost? But you'll get used to it. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and will likely be buying more of it.
Really works 5
Yamileth from Las Vegas NV
I have a teenager , you know she turning in to a lady !!! Some of US had the bad stages of having sweating armpits and that really smell like onions if you know you know !! Was buying so many deodorants for her and ni thing was working ! But this one Works !!!! You can't smell nuthing on her I love it !!
Not For Me 2
Sinclair from NY
I really wanted to love this but I don't. I'm not crazy about the scent and due to the consistency, I have to use my fingers to spread the product around my armpits which isn't ideal. In terms of staying power, not really noticing any "extra strength". I feel bad because I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to get a clinical strength deodorant.
Best natural deodorant 5
Piperkat from Arlington, VA
I use this straight from the stick and do *not* have to rub it in- I use just like any other deodorant. It is not messy for me. It smells fresh and clean all day (unlike LaVanilla) and does not stain my clothes (like other brands). I've been using this brand for the past year without issue.
You could make this in your kitchen. 3

Best natural deodorant! 5
SweatyBetty from Washington, DC
I've tried various natural deodorants over the past 6 years and this one is the best. It works better than any others I've tried, including more expensive brands, and doesn't stain the underarms of my clothing or undergarments (others left a waxy oil stain). Also, because it's in a stick form, it's easier to apply and not messy, unlike Cream deodorants in jars and tubes that require you to use your fingers.
Best natural deodorant for me 5
Court from Euless, TX
I have tried about 10 natural deodorants over the past 5 years or so and this is my favorite. I am so glad to see that Ulta is carrying this product so I do not have to drive to the Milk & Honey store or pay for their shipping. Other natural deodorants make my arm pits extra sweaty, smelly, may clog the pores and cause bumps or a rash, but this one has not for me. I have tried the other scents from Milk & Honey but the extra strength with the baking soda is the only one that helps fight the sweat and odor on my body.
My favorite non-toxic deodorant! 5
Clarissa from California
I notice a lot of reviews mentioning sensitivity and rashes from this product. That's unfortunate because I've tried so many natural, non-toxic deodorants before this one, and none of them worked for me. They failed to keep me dry. But, worse than that, they made my sweat smell worse! Then I tried the extra strength by Milk + Honey, and that was it for me. I finally found a natural deodorant that works! I still sweat sometimes, but it keeps me smelling fresh. And really that's the most important thing about using deodorant. I also really love the scent of lavender and tea tree.
NEVER AGAIN 1
Monkies10 from Staten Island, ny
After 8 days of use I, like many people broke out in a horrific rash. I ended up having to go to urgent care and get antibiotics. Not only did I develop huge welts on my underarms, but all of the skin also peeled away leaving my underarms completely raw and unbearable. I was unable to wear a bra for over a week
Okay 3
paisleyisabella from Iowa
I loved this product for the first 2 weeks i used this, then i started developing a rash. Did a great job at maintaining my sweating and odor control considering i didn't have much to begin with. It just got irritating on my skin :(
