Formulation and availability note. Native reformulated its deodorant sticks in 2026 and now states that the stick is “free of aluminum, parabens, phthalates, ozokerite, and baking soda”. This review describes the earlier formulation and has not been rewritten against the new one. Native’s own FAQ says it currently ships only within the United States and that shipping to the UK and EU is paused, and we have found no UK stockist — so a UK buyer may receive either formulation, or may not be able to buy it at all. See Native’s 2026 reformulation for what we could and could not verify.
