Heritage & History
Moiz Ali founded Native in San Francisco in 2015 with a single product: an aluminum-free deodorant formulated to actually work. The natural deodorant category had existed for years before Native arrived, but most products in the space had a reputation for inconsistent odor protection that made consumers skeptical of switching from conventional antiperspirants. Ali approached the formulation challenge seriously, developing a baking soda and coconut oil-based formula in a limited number of carefully chosen scents — with Coconut & Vanilla becoming the brand's signature — that provided effective odor control without the aluminum compounds used in antiperspirants.
Native built its early following through direct-to-consumer sales, accumulating reviews and word-of-mouth that gave potential customers confidence in the product's efficacy before they tried it. The brand's clean ingredient list — no aluminum, no parabens, no sulfates, no phthalates — resonated with consumers who had grown skeptical of long synthetic ingredient lists in personal care products. In 2017, Procter & Gamble acquired Native for approximately 100 million dollars, recognizing the brand's rapid growth and the cultural shift toward clean personal care. P&G has maintained Native's made-in-USA production and clean formulation standards since the acquisition.
Made in the USA
Native deodorants are manufactured in the United States, a commitment the brand has maintained through its growth from a San Francisco startup to a nationally distributed brand under Procter & Gamble. The US manufacturing facilities produce Native's full deodorant line — including the classic stick format, mini travel sizes, and the brand's baking soda-free sensitive formula — using the same core ingredients that Moiz Ali specified when he developed the original formula in 2015.
The manufacturing process for natural deodorant presents different challenges than conventional antiperspirant production, as the plant-derived ingredients — coconut oil, shea butter, baking soda, and natural fragrances — require temperature-controlled blending and filling to maintain consistency across batches. Native's US production facilities handle these requirements while enabling the brand to maintain close oversight of ingredient sourcing. The Coconut & Vanilla scent, which became Native's best-seller and helped define the aesthetic of the modern natural deodorant category, is formulated with natural fragrance components and produced domestically, keeping the scent profile consistent with the formula that drove the brand's original success.
