For the last ten years, yes ten years, I've struggled to find a working deodorant. I have sensitive skin, especially under my arm pits. Conventional deodorants usually left my armpits looking like they had chemical burns on them. So I switched to natural, organic deodorants found in health food stores. Almost the same issues and on top of it they left me smelling funky. I tried the crystal deodorants, homemade, and even no deodorant. None of these issues helped and to make matters more difficult, any lack of deodorant lead to an over production of bacteria in my pits giving me "The Philly Funk"- an unpleasant and embarrassing fungal infection on armpit hair (I also can't shave my armpit hair because of how sensitive my skin is). So yeah, basically a smelly, uncomfortable mess.
On a whim a concerned family member, who was also not enjoying my smell!!, came across Native deodorant last year. She bought me the three trial pack and for close to a year now, after over a decade of feeling self-conscious and always worried about my scent/ being itchy or straight up in pain I have found a solution. I've been using Native for a year now and I can't believe the difference. I feel comfortable not just in how this deodorant makes me feel, but also glad to know I didn't have to resort to some chemical laden prescription solution. Native's sensitive unscented is the perfect solution for anyone in search of a deodorant not only more closely aligned with what your body's chemistry needs, but also a better health and beauty product for the environment.

This is a really nice soap . It's not drying at all . I have tried pretty much all the scents that it comes in and I love them all . Other soaps leave my skin dry with a weird residue but not this one . This one leaves my skin feeling super clean and fresh and lightly scented. It doesn't work on my face . I only use it in the shower to clean my body . It lathers very richly and creamy and has a great price tag what more can you ask... -

From the first day that I tried this hairspray, I was very impressed with how well it had managed to transform my birdy hair. It dried so quickly that I didn’t even have to pat down my stray hair while it was ‘wet’ because it had already done that for me. The best part was that I didn’t have hard hairsprayed hair, nor did I have any white residue from the hairspray. As for the shine, it was nothing like the L’Oréal hair ads with Disney Princess glossy hair. Hair simply looks natural with a slight shine. I don’t mind this since I wouldn’t want to look like I used a whole can of hairspray on my hair (if you know what I mean). -

Packaged in a tube with a sponge-tipped wand applicator, the first thing we noticed is that it’s a bit messy if you’re not anticipating the texture. This is a true powder in a tube, so if you pull the wand out too quickly, you’ll wind up with powder all over the place. It’s best to slowly take the wand out straight, without angling it in any way, to ensure this doesn’t happen.
Though this starts as a powder, it remarkably transforms into a creamy texture when it contacts lips, and glides across them with ease (no chalky or dry feeling at all). The color quality is bold from the first swipe, it has a matte finish as claimed, and it wears well for about three to four hours (less if you’re eating or drinking something) before fading to an attractive stain.

Growing up, I never paid attention to the shampoo I used. (Literally, I'd use anything as long as it smelled good.) That changed the first time I dyed my hair a couple years ago. I never realized how harsh and terrible brand-I-shall-not-name was until it stripped all the color out of my hair. That's when my hair colorist (and my mom!) recommended something sulfate-free, and I fell in love with this L'Oréal Ever Pure shampoo.
It's super cheap, I can easily pick it up at the drugstore whenever I run out, and it comes in a variety of formulations depending on your hair type. (Same goes for the conditioner.) I got my hair colored again while using the shampoo and the dye actually lasted.
