Deodorant
All of our products are free of parabens (a chemical preservative used in cosmetics and personal care). We recommend using deodorants and soaps within 18 months of receiving. For Body Wash we recommend using within 12 months.
Our ingredients allow our deodorant to withstand temperatures up to 90 degrees fahrenheit. We know that summer temperatures can go well past that so if you are concerned about the texture of your deodorant please feel free to reach out to us!
There are no rules to when you should apply your deodorant. If you are new to Native, we recommend applying to clean, towel dried pits. This makes after a shower - or bubble bath - ideal timing.
Our deodorant is known for its effective odor protection. We use ingredients, like baking soda, to neutralize odor causing bacteria so you don’t need to worry about any unpleasant smells by the end of the day.
It can take your body up to two weeks in order to adjust to Native. That being said, most people are able to make the switch instantly and successfully!
After using Native for two weeks, your armpits will be purged of the aluminum and chemicals that were left over from your old deodorant.
Since Native deodorant is made with natural ingredients your armpits will feel smoother and odors will be neutralized.
Yes! If other natural deodorants have irritated you in the past, we recommend you try our baking soda free sensitive option, labeled “Sensitive Deodorant”.
We’re awesome! Say more? OK.
Our products actually work. Our products are thoughtfully formulated and use only the highest quality ingredients. Our products were made for our customers. If a product is working you let us know, and if it’s not working let us know that too! That way we can get to work and fix it.
An example: Native’s classic deodorant used to contain beeswax. You let us know that vegan ingredients were really important to you, so we created a new formula, tested it with some of our customers to make sure that it worked as well or better than the previous formula, and brought that new formula to market. You made our vegan formula happen.
That customer centric mentality has earned us over 15,000 5 star reviews from happy customers who use and love Native.
Plastic Free
Our Plastic Free Deodorant is our same aluminum free, paraben free, phthalate free, talc free, sulfate free, vegan deodorant formula, just in new 0% plastic packaging! Our packaging for Plastic Free is 100% paperboard and 100% plastic free.
The application of our Plastic Free Deodorant is a little different than our classic deodorant. These directions below should help!
1. Use a finger to slightly push up the deodorant from the bottom.
2. Keep your finger in place inside the tube and apply under the arms.
3. When you are done tap the deodorant twice for it to slide back into the tube.
We're so glad you asked!
Plastic Free deodorant was inspired by and made for you. We heard from so many of our customers that they were looking to reduce their consumption of plastic.
Did you know switching Native Plastic Free from our classic deodorant will help reduce plastic waste by up to 169 tons each year!
Our packaging is 100% paperboard and printed with soy based inks. It's also available in our most popular scents.
Native Plastic Free Deodorant is also a proud partner of 1% for the Planet. Which means we are committing to donate 1% of Plastic Free revenue to nonprofits focused on environmental stewardship.
1% for the Planet is a global movement inspiring businesses and individuals to support environmental solutions.
They support over 4,000 nonprofits that focus on: climate, food, land, pollution, water, and wildlife.
Environmental giving makes up only 3% of U.S. philanthropy. Native is proud to partner with 1% for the Planet and commit 1% of Plastic Free deodorant revenue to environmental nonprofits.
Hair
On top of the wonderful scents, Native’s hair care products are thoughtfully made with clean ingredients. Native’s hair care products are free of sulfated surfactants, parabens, silicone, and dye, and are vegan and cruelty-free.
Yes, Native’s shampoo and conditioner are safe to use on color-treated hair. As with all new hair care products, it is a good idea to test out the products on a small section of your hair to ensure you like the experience & styled look.
We haven’t had any child or baby volunteer testers for our hair care products, so we recommend you consult with your pediatrician just to be safe!
Also something to note, Native’s shampoos and conditioners are not tear free!
No, we don’t recommend this because the pH of animal skin is different from human skin - fun fact!
And we’ve only tested our hair care products on human volunteers!
Yes, they can! Based upon feedback from our human volunteers, we recommend Almond & Shea Butter (Strengthening) or Coconut & Vanilla (Moisturizing).
No, they do not.
No, they do not.
Though the product is not specifically formulated for sensitive scalps, we feel confident that those with sensitive scalps can use and enjoy these products!
If you’re worried, we recommend that you try out a small amount of the product on the under-side of your hair first to see if you have any adverse reaction.
Our hair care products are made without dyes, sulfates, parabens, microbeads, and Polyethylene, but are not currently biodegradable. This is something we are working on!
Sunscreen
The FDA regulates sunscreen as an over-the-counter drug. Isn’t that interesting? If you want to get nerdy about it: Currently 16 UV filters are listed as approved actives, 14 are organic filters commonly referred to as chemical filters, and 2 are inorganic filters commonly referred to as physical or mineral filters. A mineral sunscreen includes one or both of those two inorganic filters, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
All UV actives absorb UV rays, but mineral UV actives like Zinc oxide also scatter (reflect) UV rays. This means that mineral UV actives protect you in two ways, like a jacket that is both thick and wind breaking. You’re literally shining, as you should!
No application trade-offs! The Native mineral sunscreen is easier to rub in and does not leave that annoying white cast/residue on any skin tone. Many mineral sunscreens are thick, tacky, and very difficult to rub in.
Craftsmanship: a water-based blend of hand selected Zinc Oxide active, moisturizers, stabilizers, and Native fragrances. This formula direction ensures our product blends in across all skin tones.
Our face sunscreen was designed to be invisible under make-up & volunteer-testing helped confirm that. We also added a moisturizer, avocado oil, intended to condition your beautiful skin without any negatives. Finally, we packaged it in a unique tube & pump for easy, mess-free use (only 2-3 pumps needed at a time.)
Yes, our sunscreens were designed and tested to be suitable on sensitive skin.
Native recommends using water resistant sunscreen when swimming or sweating. We are in the process of ensuring that our sunscreens deliver water resistance up to 80 minutes.
We recommend 2-3 pumps of sunscreen for the face. For most adults we recommend about 1 ounce - or enough to fill a shot glass - to fully cover your body. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every two hours.
Sunscreens are a unique product. Let’s dive into the fun legalities: In the U.S. this product is regulated as an OTC drug. We followed the specific U.S. FDA guidelines to choose our UV active, SPF testing, and labeling requirements.
In other countries sunscreens can be regulated differently, have different testing guidelines, and different lists of approved sunscreen actives to choose from. We do not currently have plans to expand our sunscreens outside of the U.S. - sorry international friends!
Deodorant & Body Spray
Both products offer all-day odor protection for underarms. We know some deodorant users prefer a spray form to a traditional stick, so we’re excited to provide a new way to enjoy Native’s amazing scents!
We recommend 2 seconds per armpit, but it’s okay to adjust to fit preference.
Spray 6 inches or less from the body for optimal results.
We are limited to ground shipping only due to restrictions on shipping aerosol spray cans via air.
The product goes on skin clear, and it is not expected to leave stains on clothing.
We often see users choosing Native sensitive deodorant sticks if they have a perceived baking soda sensitivity. Similarly, Native sprays do not contain baking soda. However, the product does contain ethanol, which can sometimes cause short-term irritation for consumers who have just shaved. Do not use on broken skin. If rash or irritation develops discontinue use. Avoid spraying in eyes.
Native Deodorant & Body Sprays use nitrogen as a propellant. The great thing about nitrogen, a natural ozone-friendly propellant, is that it comes from the air! No hydrofluorocarbons here.
Native’s promise of clean, simple, effective all day odor protection, that you can also spray all over! We made it so you can use it as both an effective underarm deodorant and a body spray for those of us who love to smell good everywhere. We also didn’t forget to make this clean; it’s aluminum free - as all our deodorants are - and it’s made with a natural propellant (nitrogen) instead of liquid chemical propellants like isobutane or hydrofluorocarbon.
