Native
Native make aluminum-free deodorant sticks in a long list of scents, with a sensitive formula for skin that reacts and a plastic-free version of the classic stick.
The range extends past deodorant into shampoo, conditioner and body wash, and there is a recurring collaboration with Jarritos that puts soda flavours into deodorant.
More about Native
Classic, sensitive, or plastic-free?
Three decisions, and they are independent of the scent you pick.
| Version | Pick it if |
|---|---|
| Classic stick | The default. Widest scent choice |
| Sensitive | Natural deodorant has irritated you before — Aloe & Green Tea, Cotton & Lily |
| Plastic free | Same formula, paper-based tube. Currently the Charcoal scent |
| Mini | Travel size — Toasted Vanilla & Honey |
It is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant
Aluminum-free deodorant works on odour rather than on sweat. It is not intended to stop you perspiring, and it will not — that is the trade you are making by dropping the aluminum salts an antiperspirant relies on.
If you are coming off an antiperspirant, expect a couple of weeks of smelling more than usual before things settle, and reapply after exercise rather than expecting one morning application to last.
The Jarritos scents
Native run a collaboration with the Mexican soda brand, so there are deodorants in Mandarin, Pineapple, Passion Fruit and Watermelon. They are unapologetically sweet and they are the ones that sell out first — Pineapple is tagged a bestseller here.
Treat them as seasonal: collaboration runs are made once rather than restocked indefinitely.
The rest of the range
Beyond deodorant there is a Cucumber & Mint volumizing shampoo, an Almond & Shea Butter strengthening conditioner, and body wash — all in full-size bottles rather than bars, so this is the brand to look at if you want natural formulations without switching format.
