“The smell of the Native Pineapple Body Wash instantly transports you to a beautiful tropical island. I’ve never been a fan of non-bubbly soap, so I was ecstatic when I saw the beautiful suds foaming up in my loofah. I felt clean and refreshed with each use!

The Native Passion Fruit Lotion smelled as good as it sounds. Although the lotion had a silky texture, it felt slightly dry when applied. I have to add oil on top of the lotion to moisturize my sensitive skin. All in all, it’s a pretty great lotion— especially if you love a sweet scent!”

“The Native x Jarritos Mandarin Body Wash left my skin incredibly smooth and soft. It’s a rich combination of a bold, tropical scent with a smooth, hydrating formula. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to add a splash of fun and fragrance to their shower routine!

Now, let’s get into the Passion Fruit Lotion. Whew!! Passion Fruit is one of my favorite flavors and scents, so I automatically knew I would be head over heels for this scent! It is a tropical fragrance that captures the fruit’s sweet, tangy essence— light yet citrusy and invigorating. It applied smoothly and I enjoyed its hydrating texture.

In all honesty, I am more of a spray-on deodorant kind of girl, but the Pineapple Deodorant adds the perfect touch when pairing it with the other products! If you want to strut around leaving behind the sweet scents of the islands, grab yourself some body products from the Native x Jarritos collection!”

“The new Pineapple Body Wash by Native had me eager to lather while singing the Piña Colada song! When the stream of water hit my skin, the sweet scent of succulent pineapples serenaded my nostrils. I felt like I was basking in a tropical wonderland of fresh fruits and happiness. It left my skin smelling delicious and feeling supple. I highly recommend it for tropical lovers. A little goes a very long way. Trust me—you need this in your life!”

Mo Dozier Sharpe, Editorial Contributor

“I’ve tried Native x Jarritos Passion Fruit Deodorant and Lotion, and they are fantastic! The scent is vibrant and refreshing. I loved that the consistency of both products was light yet effective. These are now staples in my self-care routine.”
