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.

Our Full Review

Key Lime & Sugar is summer in deodorant form - bright, zesty, and utterly mood-lifting.

The Scent Experience

The lime note is sharp and authentic - capturing the distinctive tang of key limes rather than generic citrus. Coconut adds tropical creaminess. Vanilla provides the “sugar” element - sweet, warm, and grounding. Together, they’re uncannily reminiscent of key lime pie.

Performance

Citrus scents typically don’t last as long as woody ones. The bright lime is most prominent in the first few hours, mellowing into the sweeter base. Reapplication may be needed for active days.

Final Thoughts

If you love citrus and want your deodorant to bring a smile, Key Lime & Sugar delivers at Native’s excellent price.
