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.

  • 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.

    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 :(

    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

    Feedback

    long lasting and smells great

  • Great products. I use the body wash. Great scent, clean products, no animal testing 👌.

    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

    Random mom
  • 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 “natural” deodorants cause so much irritation compared to “chemical laden” 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 “clean ingredients” 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
