Summary

Native Coconut & Vanilla Moisturizing Conditioner scores 63/100 -- a drugstore-clean conditioner with a notably tidy ingredient list undermined by an undisclosed fragrance. Sulfate-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, cruelty-free. The conditioning system is clean: Cetyl Alcohol + Stearyl Alcohol (fatty alcohols -- NOT drying alcohols, EWG 1) provide slip; Behenamidopropyl Dimethylamine is a plant-derived cationic conditioner that is significantly cleaner than the petroleum-derived behentrimonium chloride used in most drugstore conditioners (EWG 1-3). Glutamic acid contributes pH buffering and trace conditioning. Caprylyl Glycol + 1,2-Hexanediol is a clean preservative-booster + humectant pair (EWG 1) that allows the formula to lean on Sodium Benzoate as its only traditional preservative. The score is held below 80 by a single hard demerit: undisclosed 'Fragrance', which can legally contain hundreds of un-itemized compounds including phthalates, IFRA-restricted allergens, and endocrine disruptors. Native is owned by Procter & Gamble (acquired 2017). No third-party lab testing.
