Reviews mention

  • Refined, memorable fragrances

  • Smooth, glide-on application
  • Accessible, diverse scent range
  • Inconsistent odor longevity
  • Occasional white residue transfer
  • Gritty, sticky deodorant texture
  • Noticeable shirt staining risk

Native earns mixed-to-positive reviews: its deodorants and body washes smell exceptional and many users say they work for everyday wear, while others report short wear time, residue, and staining. Reviews praise clean-feeling formulas, sensitive-skin options, and standout scents like Coconut & Vanilla, Eucalyptus & Mint, and Citrus & Herbal Musk, but note inconsistent odor control in heat/workouts, occasional rashes or grit, and cardboard-packaging ergonomics.

  • The products have a nice variety of scents, but the shampoo and conditioner options haven’t really worked great for me. My favorite product is the Shea Butter Body Wash, which smells great (not artificial) and moisturizes well.

  • I bought this product when we were on vacation in Hawaii and it was amazing. I love the smell of the coconut and vanilla and how well it hydrated my skin. My whole family was loving it, and it was great on everyone’s skin from babies to adults.

  • I’ve been using Native’s Lilac & White Tea spray deodorant and really enjoy how light and fresh it feels. The scent is soft and clean without being overpowering, which makes it easy to wear every day. I also like that it goes on evenly and doesn’t leave a heavy or sticky feeling. It’s been a nice addition to my daily routine and something I’d reach for again.

  • I have used native for years before they were even bought. I originally started shopping with native because I was looking for a cleaner aluminum free alternative to deodorant, and they were what was accessible to me in my town. It started off nice other than if you use too much product or sweat it tends to clump up and leave a sticky residue on your clothes so that was my first turn off, but I kept going back because it didn’t have aluminum in the smells or fantastic. As the price has increased in the formula has decreased I have stopped using, but this is my last stick in the scent Sweet peach and nectar is fantastic.

  • I’ve tried a few products from Native and overall it’s one of those brands that feels very clean, simple, and easy to trust for daily body care. The whole concept is focused on minimal ingredients and more natural formulas, which I really like.

  • This is my favorite deodorant. I used to use another natural one that turned my clothes all yellow and this one never leaves a color. Only sometimes it gets a bit h chunky if I put to much but in general I love it. I use the vanilla coconut one and I love the smell and it doesn’t give a strange smell when mixed with body odor like others do.

  • I'm always looking for more natural products and skincare and Native sunscreen delivers! I love that it's mineral sunscreen without toxic chemical ingredients. Not only it's natural but also very effective and SPF 30 protects my skin from sunburns. It's perfect for sensitive skin since it's unscented. I didn't experience any irritation or bad reaction. It doesn't leave white cast or marks on my clothes.

  • I was actually hesitant to purchase this brand because it was all over the internet in a way that seemed inauthentic. I bought a small stick from Target travel section since it was small and cheap to give it a shot. I'm pleasantly surprised — it smells great and has long staying power. Would repurchase.

  • Native does it again! This bodywash scent featuring vanilla & sandalwood gives me cozy, relaxing and almost holiday vibes. It transforms my evening shower into spa-like pampering experience. The formula is thick, it lathers and rinses well without stripping off my skin. It's very important to me that it has clean ingredients and no harsh chemicals.

  • I currently use a deodorant full of chemicals because i just sweat so much. I wanted to try a more natural deodorant. In comes Native. I loved the scent so much it blended well with my earthy perfume. This is definitely a gender netural scent which i can appreciate. The white stains on my clothes is REAL i cannot wear this with tank tops only tshirts or logn sleeves. The performance: It did not hold up for me as someone who sweats a lot. I really wanted this to work but I would have to reapply every other hour and it wouldn't even mask the sweat smell.

  • Switching to a natural deodorant from classic antiperspirants is definitely something that takes adjustment. Once I'd gotten through that period, I did appreciate the fragrances offered by Native as well as the consistent quality of the products. I think it works really well for cooler or less active days. I do feel more comfortable with an antiperspirant in the summer and while exercising. I'm a big fan of the non plastic option though!

  • I really like this deodorant, the fact that it's natural and doesn't make me sweat is amazing. Most natural deodorants don't actually work. I love the light smell this has and will always repurchase this product now because I love it so much. 10/10

  • I really didn’t like this product. I thought it would be a good idea to buy it as it seemed it would be good for sensitive skin. However, this product made my armpits break out in rashes. It was so bad that almost my entire armpit was covered in rashes. I’m not saying it can’t work for others, but it most certainly did not work for me.

  • Loved the way this smelled and how soft it left my body! However I do wish it did a better job of making feel clean vs smelling good.

  • A deodorant stick is basically a quick daily essential to keep body odor under control and help you stay fresh through the day. It’s easy to apply, not messy, and usually lasts longer than spray deodorants. Some feel really smooth and comfortable on the skin, while others can feel a bit heavy or fade faster depending on the brand. The scent also varies—some are subtle and clean, others are stronger and more noticeable. Overall, it’s a simple, no-fuss product that works best when you find one that suits your skin and comfort level.

  • Meu Deus que produto incrível e maravilhoso, eu realmente estou muito satisfeito com este produto, minha pele está incrível e com uma textura sedosa e leve, sem dúvidas foi minha melhor comprar, estou amando ele 😻

  • Ohhhhhh, how I love the smell of this body wash! My whole bathroom and bedroom smell amazing for an hour after my shower. My skin is dry and cracks easily in winter. This body wash didn't irritate my skin and left it soft.

  • I have the Native hand soap in the unscented version. I find that it is not better than the Dove unscented sensitive skin body soap and I therefore would not purchase it again. I don't think it is the best product.

  • I have used their deodorant and it is pretty good for a natural deodorant. I switched to a natural deodorant a couple years ago and have tested many different formulas now. Native is one of the best of the formulas that I have tested. On a very hot day, it is not going to work as well as a deodorant with aluminum, but for the most part it does do the job.The cucumber mint is my favorite scent, but I like the coconut vanilla as well. The mini size is great to throw in a purse for reapplication, especially on a hot day when it is very much needed!

  • This is an aluminum and baking soda free deodorant. It's also a sensitive deodorant. The scent is piece of cake. I did not like this deodorant. I didn't like the smell. . It had a sweet scent and it was very strong and I smelled it everytime I raised my arms. It also made my armpits sticky.
