My Kids and I Can’t Stop Fighting Over Who Gets to Use Native’s New Candy Shop Collection

Ever since becoming a mom, I have tried dozens of aluminum-free deodorants. Among the steady rotation of my favorites includes Native Deodorant, specifically the coconut and vanilla scent. It's a staple in my medicine cabinet, so when the brand launched the new Candy Shop Collection, I jumped at the chance to try it. Little did I know it would wreak havoc in my house… in the best way possible.

My boys, ages 10 and 7, are reluctant to take baths or showers lately. Maybe it's a boy thing — perhaps it's just them, I don't really know. But what I do know is that things were starting to smell. When I introduced Native's Gummy Bear scented body wash, their interest was piqued thanks to their love of candy and the colorful gummy bear image on the front of the bottle.

Native Gummy Wears Body Wash

"Zesty meets gummy-licious in this fruity fragrance that’s as sweet as our squishable friends."

Review: "As a gummy bear fanatic, I love this stuff. It smells like childhood and yummy. The only sad thing happening here is that there is no body lotion yet."

Native Strawberry & Vanilla Taffy Bodywash

"This irresistible blend of creamy vanilla with strawberry, caramel, and summery coconut is a boardwalk favorite."

Review: "These 100000% smell like Scooby Snacks and I'm all for it."

Native Sweet Cinnamon Hearts Body Wash

"A nostalgic blend of nutty spices with a candy coating, this cinnamon scented fragrance feels like home."

Review: "Smells like RED VELVET CAKE if you ask me, one of my favorites out of the candy line."

Native Sour Berry Belts

"A citrusy twist on mixed berries, this sweet and sour fragrance packs a tarty punch."

Review: "MY FIANCÉE SMELLS LIKE CANDY I LITERALLY CANNOT EAT AND I LOVE IT."
