Summary

Native Shea Butter & Almond Scent Body Wash scores 63/100 -- a drugstore-clean body wash with a solid coconut-derived surfactant base undermined by an undisclosed fragrance. Sulfate-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, cruelty-free. Primary cleanser is Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (EWG 1-3, one of the gentlest non-sulfate surfactants on the market) with mild plant-derived secondary surfactants. The score was previously 94 under the older scoring schema and has been re-evaluated under the current doctrine where listed 'Fragrance' is an automatic harmful flag -- US labeling law allows manufacturers to hide hundreds of un-itemized compounds behind a single 'Fragrance' word, including phthalates, IFRA-restricted allergens, and endocrine disruptors. Owned by Procter & Gamble (acquired 2017). No third-party lab testing.

Key ingredients 5

Shea Butter
Very Good

Triterpene-rich plant butter with documented anti-inflammatory and barrier-restoring activity (Lin 2018). The most evidence-backed natural emollient; concentration in a rinse-off wash is modest but contributes some lipid-replenishment.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
Good

Coconut-derived isethionate surfactant; one of the gentlest non-sulfate cleansers available. EWG 1-3. Foams well without stripping the skin barrier.

Fragrance (Parfum)
Very Bad

Undisclosed fragrance blend. US labeling law allows manufacturers to hide hundreds of un-itemized compounds behind a single 'Fragrance' word, including phthalates (plasticizers/endocrine disruptors), IFRA-restricted allergens, and synthetic musks. The 'Almond Scent' name does not require any actual almond extract to be present.
