A deodorant stick in the plainest sense: you twist it up, you swipe it on, and it goes to work with baking soda and magnesium hydroxide instead of aluminum salts. Surf & Sea Moss is Native's salt-air scent — cool and green, closer to a morning at the water than to a cologne counter. Coconut oil and shea butter keep the glide soft rather than chalky, so it doesn't drag on the way on. And this one is a goodbye: Native has retired the scent, so what is here is what is left.
Why Choose Native Surf & Sea Moss Deodorant?
- No aluminum salts, and it says so on the pack: the label reads aluminum free and paraben free, and the ingredient list backs it — odour is handled by sodium bicarbonate and magnesium hydroxide instead.
- A scent you can't buy from Native any more: Surf & Sea Moss has been dropped from their line-up, so this is stock rather than a re-order.
- Softer than a chalk stick: coconut oil and shea butter sit in the formula alongside tapioca starch, which is the difference between a glide and a scrape.
- Made in the United States: Native states that all of their manufacturing facilities are in the US, and the stick is distributed from San Francisco.
- Vegan and cruelty-free: the pack is marked cruelty free, and none of the ingredients are animal-derived — no beeswax in the list.

How to Use
Pro-Tip: a couple of swipes on clean, dry skin is plenty — this is a baking soda formula, so go lightly the first few days if your skin is new to it.
