Native Sensitive Deodorant tackles a common issue with natural deodorants—skin irritation from baking soda—by replacing it with tapioca starch, which absorbs moisture effectively without upsetting the skin’s pH balance. The formula also includes shea butter and coconut oil to keep underarms nourished while neutralizing odor-causing bacteria. Available in both scented and unscented options, it provides reliable protection for sensitive skin that may react to traditional formulas. Reviews consistently highlight its performance during everyday activities, though some users note reapplication may be necessary after intense exercise or in very hot conditions.
The stick glides on smoothly without dragging, and its clean, minimal ingredient list appeals to health-conscious consumers. While priced above typical drugstore deodorants, many find the investment worthwhile for its gentle yet effective performance. A subscription option helps reduce per-unit cost and ensures consistent delivery. Those transitioning from antiperspirants may experience an adjustment period, but most users report effective odor control once their body acclimates to the natural formula.
