Native Eucalyptus & Mint Deodorant
Summary
Native Eucalyptus & Mint Classic scores 54/100. Same Classic Native base (caprylic/capric triglyceride, magnesium hydroxide, coconut oil, shea butter, Lactobacillus probiotic) + real Eucalyptus Globulus leaf oil for the cooling scent. Three demerits: ozokerite (petroleum-derived wax), sodium bicarbonate (baking soda underarm irritant), and Native's synthetic phthalate-free fragrance blend layered on top of the eucalyptus oil. Owned by Procter & Gamble since 2017.
