Summary

Native Cucumber & Mint Classic scores 54/100. Strong base: real coconut oil, shea butter, magnesium hydroxide, Lactobacillus acidophilus probiotic, and real spearmint essential oil. Three demerits hold it back: ozokerite (petroleum-derived wax), sodium bicarbonate (baking soda -- the #1 underarm irritant in natural deos, causes rash in many users), and the 'fragrance' is Native's synthetic phthalate-free blend, not pure essential oils. Owned by Procter & Gamble since 2017. The Whole Body version of this same scent scores higher because it drops the baking soda.
