My morning routine has essentially been the same since middle school: Deodorant for the pits, a mist of my favorite perfume, and I'm out the door. So when I first came across Native's Whole Body Deodorant Spray, my initial reaction was: "Seriously? Do I even need that?"
Then I started thinking about how (cough cough) smelly my feet can get on a sweltering day, and how embarrassed I'd get when I'd catch someone watching me sniff my pits. So, with a degree of curiosity (and a healthy amount of skepticism), I gave Native's Whole Body Deodorant Spray a try. Here's what I found:
1. It actually lasts the ENTIRE day
I tried to go aluminum-free once, and it was a dumpster fire. Nothing worked, and every "fresh" scent option turned sour in approximately 1 hour or less.
I'd accepted my fate long ago: I was either going to smell, or I was going to use aluminum deodorant.
Let me tell you—Native's Whole Body Deodorant Spray actually lasts the whole day. And thank goodness for that, because nothing should interfere with hot girl summer. Hot sleeper? Native keeps you smelling fresh all. night. long. Going straight from a workout to the office? You won't have to stop and reapply, even though it's a natural deodorant. It's so powerful.
Plus, the Lilac & White Tea scent smells more refreshing than any baby-esque "powder scent" I've tried. Native also combats smells on your thighs, your feet, your underboobs, your crotch–anywhere that can get a little...you know... foul. Yes, us girls can have it all–natural and effective.
2. It doesn't leave stains, and it's quick to dry
Real talk: most natural deodorants have left yellow stains on all my clothes. Native dries in one second (it's not sticky) and I'm so happy doesn't leave ANY stains or white marks.
Another reason I was wary about trying a whole-body deodorant: most other deodorants I’ve tried felt sticky and took a bit to dry. They’ve also always left white marks on my clothes.
I’m very happy to report that Native Whole Body Deodorant Spray has not let me down here! It’s genuinely fast-drying and, no matter where I spray it, it doesn’t leave any residue on my clothes. I can get dressed right away, which is especially helpful if I’m in a rush.
3. It’s a great value (and can be found at nativecos.com!)
Native's Whole Body Deodorant Spray is $14 for a 3.5 oz can—and that amount equates to more product than a deodorant stick. If you buy directly from Native’s site, you can even save 14% when you subscribe—plus you’ll get free shipping on orders over $10.
For me, this is a small price to pay for something that's a little better for me (aka: no aluminum) that actually works.
If ordering online isn't convenient enough for you, you can also likely grab Native products from your favorite local retailer.
4. It’s super gentle on my sensitive skin
If you, like me, have sensitive skin, you know it can react to pretty much anything. Luckily, that hasn’t been my experience with Native's Whole Body Deodorant Spray. I’m able to use it in my most sensitive areas without any irritation.
Because Native's Whole Body Deodorant Spray is made without aluminum, parabens, baking soda, or talc, it’s friendly to most skin types—and, best of all, effective.
It’s also vegan and cruelty-free, which I love!
Native Whole Body Deodorant Spray is officially a part of my everyday routine
Honestly, the thought of going back to the days of underarm stains and pesky body odors is unfathomable to me. Native has shown me that odor control isn’t just about the underarms, it's about feeling fresh (and therefore confident) from head to toe.
Despite my early reservations, Native’s Whole Body Deodorant Spray has quickly earned its place in my daily regimen. You should definitely give Native’s Whole Body Deodorant Spray a shot!
