Review: Native Body Wash

A clean feeling for everyday living

From the minimalistic packaging to the wide variety of scents being offered, Native Cosmetics has received a lot of attention over the past year and has recently found its way into my daily routine. I decided to take advantage of these past few weeks to document my experience of this “all natural” product so I can let the people know if it’s worth a try.

While roaming the isles of Walmart I stumbled upon products from the viral TikTok brand, Native. This brand has been talked about on the social media platform for months now and is marketed as a natural product that is sulfate, paraben, dye and phthalate free. 

The first bottle I looked at was coconut and vanilla. This scent smelled almost edible. The coconut was exceptionally smooth and refreshing and its pairing with vanilla brings a type of warmth to the scent that reminds me of freshly baked cookies. Although this scent was not initially bought that day, I can say it has found its way into my daily routine. 

The scent I decided to begin my testing with was cucumber and mint. This body wash smells extremely fresh and clean; the cucumber brings a very fruity yet subtle aroma while the mint creates a refreshing scent that I believe activated some type of neurotransmitters because I felt extremely joyous and excited to use this later that day.

After setting the water temperature to my liking and preparing myself for the unknown, I grabbed my loofah to begin my journey. I first started by applying the soap to my scrubber, I noticed that the soap is thin and poured out the bottle very easily so I was sure to be careful and not pour too much.

I then began to lather the soap in the scrubber and paid close attention to how foamy it got. It was perfect, the bubbles the soap created didn’t feel too thick or thin and held that consistency when applied to my skin. 

After showering I felt like I had just stepped out of the spa. I smelled fresh and my skin felt rejuvenated. I saw no signs of irritation and didn’t feel like I was covered in chemicals. This was a game changer.

It’s been five weeks since I first began using Native products and I can admit I have become obsessed. I now own seven different scents of body wash and have each one dedicated to a different mood. I also own three Native shampoo and conditioner sets and two Native deodorants that I rotate in and out. I highly recommend Native body wash to anyone who wants to smell good, feel good and wants to know the products they use are good. This brand definitely deserves the attention they’ve been receiving.
