Reviews mention

  • Sophisticated, natural-leaning fragrances
  • Clean, cruelty-free formulations
  • Comfortable, smooth application
  • Non-stripping, lathery body washes
  • Inconsistent odor protection
  • White residue and staining
  • Gritty, sticky deodorant texture
  • Can cause underarm irritation

Native earns praise in reviews for clean ingredients, refined scents (Coconut & Vanilla, Eucalyptus & Mint, Lilac & White Tea) and comfortable, non-irritating wear for many, but effectiveness is inconsistent: several reviewers report odor breakthrough, frequent reapplication, staining, and texture issues. Reviews note body wash and haircare smell fresh and lather well, while deodorant can underperform in heat or workouts and sometimes causes rashes or gritty residue.

  • Okay, so to start off I had bought two of these thinking they’d serve me for like half a year. Slowly my right armpit began to develop a bump which was itchy. This only began happening with Native deodorant and when I switched to Dr. Teals, stopped. I had to get a prescription from my doctor to get rid of it. Although the deodorant itself did work, it caused me health issues and it’s just not worth it.

  • I love that Native offers aluminum free deodorant, and that I can find it at my local Target. All products I have tried from Native have been great! I’ve found that their deodorant isn’t as long-lasting as other “clean” brands I’ve tried— but I think it’s a great start to reducing chemicals that we put on our bodies every day mindlessly.

  • This brand has great products, especially for the price point. I love their hair products specifically, though i’m not as big a fan of their deodorant. I find it isn’t as long lasting as some, but I love that they use natural ingredients that aren’t harmful to you.

  • Love most of their products but my hair personally does not respond the best to their shampoo. I love that it is clan product and the smell is great.

  • I tried this when I was trying to transition to more natural items but it gave me a bad rash under my arms. I stopped using it and then again to make sure it really was the native deordant and sure enough, it was

  • Liked that it has no harmful chemicals in it. But its not as effective as the traditional national deodorant brands for heavy sweater like me.

  • sadly the deodorant formula irritated my underarms, but i love the body washes!

  • Clean packaging and well-priced but their deodorant, for example, has not been effective for me.

  • I love their mission and totally get their appeal. I've only tried the deodorants (I got a sampler of four scents a while back) and although I love the natural herbal fragrances, the deodorants didn't work well for me. I think it's just personal preference since natural deodorant can be hit or miss depending on the person. I heard great reviews so I thought this would be the one natural deodorant that would convert me but I think I'm immune to natural deodorants. I also found the texture chalkier than expected. They didn't glide on to my skin very well and dried up within a couple of months. I'm sure they've improved their formula since then and I am very curious to try their body care products! Again, deodorant review was just personal preference.

  • Looking to improve your lifestyle and over all health? Then this product is for you!!! I switched over to Native and I’ll never go back!! All the scents smell soooo good and the ingredients list is 10/10!!

  • I've never had a negative experience with Native. They have such an amazing variety in terms of scents, I can't get enough!

  • Since purchasing native, it has become my go-to deodorant because it smells great, feels fresh, lasts long and there is no harsh chemical smell as you would expect with other products. Therefore, I believe that Native is well worth the extra cost.

  • Love the smells, the brand, and the design!

    Don’t have anything to really add here.

  • I gave this a try and I felt like I was sweatier than normal. It didn’t mask any odor either. I prefer Lume deodorant.

    Feedback

    Really doesn’t stop sweating or masking odor.

  • I have used the deodorant, the face wash and the sunscreen for them. I use the deodorant for almost every day use and use something else for "serious protection needed" because I feel that it doesn't do well. There is still...wetness over it? And when I am washing it off, it does have a weird waxy feel to it that pills. I would say that it smells nice! The face wash is just OK. It smells nice. I don't feel anything remarkable. The sunscreen smells really nice! But it does leave a white cast.

    Feedback

    Don't like the waxy feel when washing it off; maybe it's for the deorder-ness but have had other "eco-friendly" deodorants that don't do that. Would also work out the white cast but sometimes with sunscreen, it is what it is.

  • I mostly bought the soap. The different frangrances smelled nice. Some of the scent smelled a bit synthetic. Cucumber was my favorite.

    Feedback

    For the price, it’s definitely worth it

  • Currently I love the cucumber and mint bodywash! Love the fresh scent and ingredients on my sensitive skin. Can't to try more of their product lines!

  • Such a great product!

    Feedback

    I would prefer a different scent

  • The products arrived timely and the purchase process was intuitive.

    Feedback

    I didn’t love the texture of the deodorant but it worked well.

  • Love the charcoal flavor. It goes on clear and smells fresh and clean.
