  • Native Limited Edition Jarritos Collab 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner Full & Thick Watermelon The smell is unbelievably juicy! So much that it makes my mouth water. I am loving this collab! In the midst of winter it’s like a poolside summer fiesta in my shower. I personally would only use this on very short hair. Because it’s Sulfate Free, longer hair may feel more tangled and dry and it may not have enough of that conditioning moisture you need. A short cut or pixie cut would be perfect.

  • I love Native. I was leery at first, but ordered some of their new scents during the holidays & during sales. They sent me the wrong order & I purchased so much, I didn’t even realize. But they did & corrected it immediately. The next bottle that arrived was whipped around in the shipping so it had leaked. When I was asked how my order replacement was, I let them know. They immediately replaced it. So definitely great customer service & friendly I might add. As far as the scents- I wish that they were edible. They smell fantastic! I love them all. And with clean ingredients- no sores on my scalp! Finally! I have heard a lot of negative on Native. I love it!

  • Effective and Pleasantly Scented I’ve been using Native deodorant for a few weeks, and I’m really impressed! It glides on smoothly and keeps me feeling fresh throughout the day without any harsh chemicals. The scents are delightful and not overpowering, with Coconut & Vanilla being my favorite. It’s a great natural option that actually works!

  • I’ve been using Native’s deodorant and body wash for a while now, and I have to say, I’m a fan. The deodorant actually works, which is saying something for an aluminum-free product. I don’t feel sticky, it smells amazing (I’m obsessed with the Coconut & Vanilla scent), and it doesn’t irritate my skin like some natural products tend to do. The body wash is a winner too—it lathers beautifully and leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped. If I had to nitpick, the price is a bit on the higher side compared to some mainstream brands, but I feel good knowing I’m using clean ingredients. Also, I wish they offered refill options or less packaging to make it even more eco-friendly. A big shoutout to Native’s transparency about their ingredients—it’s refreshing to know exactly what’s going on my skin. Their customer service is also great. I had an issue with a delayed shipment, and they resolved it super quickly with a kind follow-up. Would I recommend Native? Absolutely, especially if you’re looking for effective, skin-friendly products with clean ingredients. Just keep an eye out for those sales to stock up!

  • Omg every time I go shopping I always buy this deodorant! The smell OH GOD it’s just delicious and it doesn’t get white and you sweat and doesn’t make you smell bad at all. I always have the travel size in my purse ALWAYSSSS. PERFECT BRAND

  • Native deodorant is doing its job very good, and it’s aluminum free. It does cost noticeably more than generic brands, but hopefully doesn’t lead to cancer as a purchase bonus. The body wash smells good, and healthier than average. Edit to add: it has ozokerite, which is potential carcinogen if not refined properly. It still better than generic brands, but worse than a few others ingredientwise.

  • The deodorant does not work, and to make matters worse, it not only rubs off on clothing easily but is really hard to get off once it does.

  • I tried Native Deodorant and it’s okay, but not mind-blowing. It works well for a while, but I found myself needing to reapply during the day. The scents are nice, but it didn’t keep me as fresh as I’d hoped. Solid, but not my favorite.

  • I really wanted to like Native — the scents are great, the branding is clean, and the idea of a natural deodorant is appealing. But unfortunately, it didn’t work for me. After a few days of use, I ended up with painful armpit irritation that felt like chemical burns. It turns out I’m not alone; it seems some people react to the baking soda or other ingredients in the formula. If you have sensitive skin, proceed with caution — this might not be the gentle option it’s marketed to be.

  • I have tried so many natural deodorants and I was hoping to find one that easy to grab instead of ordering online all the time so it sucked that this didn't work at all. No protection and really a waste of money.

  • Native makes effective, gentle deodorant that is great for everyday use. I like the scent options and ability to find their products in most stores. It applies well and doesn't seem to stain my shirts. It does not keep me from sweating, but helps keep the odor to a minimum.

  • I love the native deodorant! I have been using it for many years and its definitely a staple in my household.

  • After trying countless deodorants—natural and conventional—this is the only one I keep coming back to. I have a sensitive skin condition that often reacts badly to most products, but Native has been an absolute lifesaver. The scents are beautiful and subtle, never overpowering, but strong enough to last. I’ll never forget being on a packed, sweaty train and suddenly catching a whiff of something tropical… only to realize it was me wearing the vanilla coconut scent! While it may seem a bit pricey, the gentle, effective formula makes it more than worth it—especially for anyone with sensitive skin who still wants reliable protection.

  • Native deodorant has become my go-to for a natural, effective solution to staying fresh all day. What sets Native apart is their commitment to clean, simple ingredients that promote healthy skin without the harsh chemicals found in many conventional deodorants.

  • I've been using natural deodorant for my whole adult life and this stuff is just useless. I usually make my own mix, but I will try other brands every once in a while to see what's developed. This one wore off in like an hour and it's not worth the money.

  • This deodorant smells good and is also gentle on my skin. It lasts all day as well.

  • I try to use more natural deodorant so I appreciate the Native products. It glides under my arm smoothly, does not leave residues and no skin irritation. The green tea black current smells amazing and it helps me to smell good all day. My only concern is that they seem to use artificial fragrances in their products even though they promote they are a natural brand. There are other more natural options that are cheaper than Native so I may not buy Native as often.

  • Tried to love native, but for me I need an antiperspirant and deodorant in one that really works well. I appreciate what they are trying to and maybe it works well for others who sweat less than I, but I needed to switch to something much stronger!
