Review (5/5): The Best Aluminum Free Deodorant-Prefer Native Unscented But Their Scented Works Great Too
I’ve been using Native unscented deodorant for a couple years, and it’s my favorite aluminum free deodorant. I’ve been trying a 3-pack of full size scented Native deodorant sticks in Peony & Jasmine Tea, Sweet Almond & Honey and Linen & Cotton varieties. The Peony is a citrusy floral scent, and the Linen one smells crisp and fresh. The Sweet Almond smells a little sweet like honey and has a light coconut scent. I especially like the Peony and Linen scents as they work best with my chemistry, but all three smell nice and none of the fragrance is too heavy. All three came with protective shields under the caps.
The unscented is still my favorite, but the scented varieties also work well for me and do seem to neutralize bacteria so my armpits don’t get stinky. While not an antiperspirant, I haven’t noticed my armpits getting wet even when the weather gets hotter. These scented deodorants have tapioca starch and sodium bicarbonate (just like the unscented) that I assume helps my pits stay feeling dry. My armpits don’t turn a weird color or feel irritated, and I haven’t noticed any white flakes on my clothes or any staining. The fragranced assortment smells good and is really effective for me. Definitely recommend. 5 stars.
