Native Men's Sea Salt & Cedar Deodorant
At a glance
Summary
Native Men's Sea Salt & Cedar scores 58/100 -- the cleanest of the regular Native line. The base uses magnesium oxide instead of baking soda (gentler), and the structural wax is rice bran wax + tribehenin (both plant-derived) instead of petroleum ozokerite. Bonus ingredients: bisabolol (chamomile-derived anti-inflammatory), ginger root extract (antioxidant), and piroctone olamine (low-tox antimicrobial). Shea butter, coconut oil, and real ginger round out the skin-supportive ingredients. The only meaningful demerit is Native's synthetic (phthalate-free) fragrance rather than real essential oils. Owned by Procter & Gamble since 2017.
