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.

  • Great products. I use the body wash. Great scent, clean products, no animal testing šŸ‘Œ.

    Feedback

    The scents are delicious.

  • I ordered the coconut deodorant and love the subtle smell. No more stankonia!

  • Absolutely love Native! I use a variety of their products but would say the deodorant is by far my fav! They have multiple scents that aren't too strong but aren't light enough to smell your body odor. Overall I highly recommend Native!

  • Love this brand, almost every product is worth it, have not been disappointed

  • Great smelling products, but overpriced for the basic need

    If you want to splurge, give brand a try

  • I tried Native deodorant stick and it worked ok for a week or two before I started having a terrible reaction to it. I got a rash and then it also stopped working.

    Feedback

    I don’t understand why the so called ā€œnaturalā€ deodorants cause so much irritation compared to ā€œchemical ladenā€ deodorants.

  • I’ve tried every natural deodorant and this is the best! So many smells to choose from and I just started using the body wash too and love it as well.

    Feedback

    I tried the cardboard packaged deodorant and it just didn’t work. The idea is awesome but it doesn’t function well. Stick with the original packaging!

  • Love native deodorant and soaps

  • I enjoy this product, however I only use it in the winter as my daily deodorant when I'm not doing anything that causes excessive sweating.

  • I love their deodorant. I’ve tried servers of their fragrances the vanilla one is my favorite. I also tried their shampoo and conditioner and the one that worked the best for my hair was the citrus shampoo and conditioner. Overall really good quality products!

    Feedback

    I wish the smell lasted a lot longer.

  • Obsessed with the coconut vanilla body wash. Definitely one of my faves with clean ingredients! Can't wait to try the deodorants as well

    Feedback

    N/A Product that I have tried is great and will be buying again!

  • I used their deodorant and it was not pleasant. I have allergic reactions to a lot of deodorants (itchy rash) and I thought this would pass the test bc ā€œclean ingredientsā€ but nah. Still broke out. I also didn’t feel like it held all day. I definitely smelled bad.

    Feedback

    The product needs to last longer throughout the day and not make my armpits feel like they’re on fire.

  • Stick was rough on my armpits. Not good for sensitive skin.

    Feedback

    Make a soft version.

  • I love this brand! The scents are heavenly! The only downside I’ve found is with the deodorant. It has a tendency to yellow white clothes, but it washes out relatively easily

  • I usually love this brand in fact tell everyone I know how great the shampoo and conditioner is have got a few family members to buy the product as well so I was soooo let down with the deodorant it is expensive and works very poor gave it a few months and still gives me bo which I do not usually get was so sad because I love this company so much in fact many people say I could be a spokes person for the hair products sorry for this review but could not give this a good review at all

    Feedback

    Love love this company hair products so good tell everyone to buy but deodorant is too expensive and works very poor gave me body odour which was embarrassing kept having to reapply and it was not a good product

  • Product smells very nice but wore off by the end of the day. I can't recommend it to highly active individuals but it's okay for short term wear. Would not repurchase but I finished my tube.

  • As someone who switched from using deodorants containing aluminum, I can say that Native Deodorant has been a game changer for me. It's a natural and aluminum-free option that still effectively keeps me smelling fresh and clean all day long. One of the things I love most about Native Deodorant is how long it lasts. I can apply it in the morning and still feel protected even after a long day at work or an intense workout. It's definitely a reliable option for those who want to stay fresh and dry for extended periods. I also have to mention that I absolutely love the mini version of Native Deodorant! It's the perfect size to fit in my purse for a night out or for keeping in my work pack. I appreciate the option to have a smaller version for those times when I need a quick refresh, and it's also great for travel. Overall, I highly recommend Native Deodorant for anyone looking to make the switch to a more natural deodorant option. It's long-lasting, effective, and free from harsh chemicals, making it a great choice for those with sensitive skin or anyone who wants to prioritize their health and wellness.

    However, I do wish that Native Deodorant had slightly stronger smells. While I appreciate the natural scents, I sometimes crave something a bit bolder. That being said, the available scents are still pleasant and not overwhelming, which is definitely a plus.

  • I use to love Native. Swore by it. Ordered it directly from the company. It was wonderful. Then i started getting a really bad rash under my arms - it was a reaction to the product. I found out they were acquired by Procter and Gamble and it all made sense. They changed the recipe (probably to cut down on costs). Ever since then I went back to my old deodorants that don’t cause rashes!

    Feedback

    Would love to give it another chance - other friends mentioned they had reactions out of the blue also.

  • I will say that I love that the deodorant is paraban/aluminum free, and I absolutely loved the scent (I used the lavender & rose scent). However, as it wasn't an antiperspirant, it didn't leave me feeling very dry (which is my fault for purchasing it in the first place), not to mention it was quite pricey. All in all, it was a decent product, but I wouldn't purchase it again.

  • Love the quality and scents. The price is just stunningly high for deodorant
