Agent Nateur: Holi Locks Hair Fall Serum & Holy Rose Deodorant
I recently discovered Agent Nateur after tuning into an episode of the Culture Apothecary podcast featuring the brand’s founder, Jena Covello. Her story resonated with me instantly, and I couldn’t wait to try some of her products. I picked up the holi(locks) strengthening, detangling, anti-hair fall serum (which I’ll just call the holi hair oil for simplicity) and the iconic holi(stick) deodorant. Spoiler alert: I’m already obsessed! Here’s my take on these two gems, plus a little dive into the founder’s inspiring journey and how it ties into my own life with endometriosis.
Holi Hair Oil: A Game-Changer for My Fine, Sensitive Hair
Let’s start with the holi(locks) hair oil. I have fine, sensitive hair that’s been through the wringer lately—hormonal changes have led to a ton of fallout, and finding the right products has been a struggle. Most hair masks are either too heavy, leaving my hair greasy and weighed down, or they don’t hydrate enough, resulting in breakage and frizz. I’ve been on a mission to find something that strikes the perfect balance, and this hair oil might just be it.
The first time I used it, I was blown away. It’s a pre-wash treatment (not a styling oil), so I massaged it into my scalp and hair, left it on overnight, and washed it out the next morning. The results? My hair felt incredibly soft, with noticeably less frizz—right from that very first use. It didn’t weigh my hair down at all, which is a huge win for my fine strands. The formula includes all natural ingredients like jojoba oil, amla fruit, passionfruit flower, and green tea, and excludes toxins like frangrance, parabens, and sulfates. I’ve only been using it for a short while, so I’ll keep you posted on the regrowth progress over the next few months—fingers crossed! For now, I’m loving how it’s transforming the texture and feel of my hair without any heaviness or breakage.
Holi(Stick) Deodorant: Clean, Effective, and Travel-Friendly
Next up is the holi(stick) deodorant—the OG product that put Agent Nateur on the map. I’ve been on a quest for a clean deodorant that actually works, and this one delivers. The ingredients are some of the purest I’ve seen: coconut oil, avocado butter, and essential oils like jasmine and sandalwood (depending on the version you choose), with no aluminum or harsh chemicals. It’s free of toxins, which is a big deal for me (more on that later), and the scent is subtle—not overpowering like some natural deodorants can be.
I put it to the test during a busy week of work travel and some heavy lifting days, and it held up beautifully. No funky smells, no need to reapply midday—it just worked. Knowing it was formulated by Jena Covello after her endometriosis diagnosis makes it even more special to me. She created it out of necessity, and it’s clear she poured her heart into making it both effective and safe.
The Founder’s Story: A Personal Connection
Speaking of Jena, her story is what initially drew me to Agent Nateur. I heard her on the Culture Apothecary podcast, where she opened up about her journey with endometriosis and adenomyosis. Diagnosed at 23, she endured years of pain, multiple surgeries, and a shift in perspective that led her to ditch toxins and embrace natural healing. That’s when she started formulating products in her kitchen, beginning with the holi(stick) deodorant. As someone who also lives with endometriosis, I felt an instant connection to her mission. She built this brand out of a need to live cleaner and reduce the toxic load that can make endo so much worse—and I’m all about that.
Endometriosis and Toxins: Why Clean Products Matter
For those who might not know, endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain, inflammation, and sometimes infertility. It’s a complex condition influenced by hormones, and while the exact causes aren’t fully understood, research suggests that environmental toxins can play a big role in worsening symptoms. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals—like aluminum in traditional deodorants, parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances—can mimic or interfere with estrogen, potentially fueling endometriosis growth and inflammation.
Living with endo means I’m extra cautious about what I put on and in my body. Toxins can increase the “estrogen dominance” that’s often linked to endo, making symptoms like pelvic pain, fatigue, and hormonal imbalances more intense. Switching to clean beauty products, like Agent Nateur’s, isn’t just a luxury for me—it’s a necessity. Knowing that the holi(locks) hair oil and holi(stick) deodorant are free of GMOs, chemicals, and harmful additives gives me peace of mind while still delivering amazing results.
Final Thoughts
I’m so glad I stumbled across Agent Nateur thanks to that podcast episode. The holi(locks) hair oil has already worked wonders for my fine, fallout-prone hair, and I’m excited to see if it helps with regrowth over time. The holi(stick) deodorant is a clean, reliable staple that’s perfect for my busy days. Plus, supporting a brand founded by someone who gets the endo struggle feels empowering.
If you’re curious about clean beauty or just want products that perform without the toxic baggage, I can’t recommend Agent Nateur enough. Have you tried any of their stuff? Let me know your thoughts—or if you’ve got any endo-friendly product recs, I’m all ears!
Stay tuned for an update on my hair growth journey with the holi(locks) oil. Here’s to feeling good inside and out!
