Native vs. Lume Showdown: Tested Odor Control vs. Surprising Natural Goodness

The quest for odor control often pits fragrance and performance against naturality and gentle care. Enter the stage: Native and Lume, two contenders vying for the title of best natural freshness solution. Let's peel back the layers on their distinct approaches.

Lume makes no bones about its mission: 24-hour odor control, targeted at the roots of body odor. Their Acidified Body Wash, with options like Peony Rose, uses a pH-balanced, OB/GYN-developed formula designed specifically for odor defense, promising lasting freshness without harsh sulfates or parabens. It’s about battles won, scent-wise.

Then there's Native, presenting a different kind of front. Devoid of sulfates, parabens, and dyes, their formulations aim for a gentler touch while leveraging the power of naturally derived ingredients. The Ocean & Timber scent, a blend of eucalyptus and fir, suggests a fresh, outdoorsy vigor, while Coconut & Vanilla promises a warm, inviting sweetness. For Native, odor control might be part of the equation, but the focus often lies broader – on overall skin health and hydration, showcased in their wider range addressing everything from eczema to athlete's foot with ingredients like tea tree.
