Native reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Refined, natural-leaning fragrances
  • Gentle, sensitive-skin formulas
  • Smooth, comfortable application
  • Attractive, sustainable packaging
  • Inconsistent odor protection longevity
  • White residue and shirt staining
  • Occasional gritty, sticky texture
  • Body wash sometimes feels drying

Native earns praise for clean ingredients, standout scents (Coconut & Vanilla, Cucumber & Mint, Lilac & White Tea, Citrus & Herbal Musk) and comfortable, non-irritating wear for many, but reviews say performance is inconsistent: the deodorant often fades by midday, struggles in heat/workouts, can leave white residue or shirt stains, and some experience rashes or gritty texture. Reviews of body wash and hair care skew positive for gentle lather and pleasant aromas, though a few find body wash drying and shampoos underwhelming. Overall, Native is a good natural option if you don’t sweat heavily and will reapply; heavy sweaters may need stronger protection.

  • 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.

  • I purchased Native Lavender deodorant from Target for $10.99 which I thought was expensive for deodorant but I have read it’s all natural so I bought it. I didn’t notice any lavender scent at all which was disappointing. It seems to work for me as I don’t perspire much, when I do from cleaning , walking etc I feel confident that it would keep me fresh until showering. I wish I could smell some lavender!

  • I love Native. They have some of the best scents for natural deodorant, my favorite being Coconut and Vanilla. It's one of the only deodorants that works for me.

    Feedback

    I would love to buy this more often but they are a little pricey.

  • This product is....ok. to be honest, I think all of the natural deodorants currently on the market are a little lack luster. The smell, consistency and texture are great, but it needs some help in the odor blocking department. Not only do I need to re-apply, myltiple times throughout the day, this deodorant combined with my natural smell, is putrid. I can't even explain it....it somehow makes the smell worse than if I never put the deodorant on to begin with! I have tried multiple scents for multiple months on their subscription option and they all had the same results :(

    Feedback

    Needs a longer lasting odor blocking effect, but I love the natural ingredients. I REALLY want to love this product, it just doesn't last for me!

  • I made the switch to natural deodorant about two years ago and it wasn't until I found native that I stopped trying other brands. I love the variety of scents offered and the consistency feels so smooth and easy to apply.

    Feedback

    The price is pretty high and I alway question if I should switch to another brand because I'm paying $5 more.

  • love the products
