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.

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! It does not give me a rash like some deodorants and makes me smelling fresh all day!!!

  • I have tried both the deodorant and the shampoo/conditioner. Im in love! The deodorant ive used for years now and refuse to switch to any other brand. It completely eliminated all odors, even when i go a few days without using it! I love how natural it is as well.

    Feedback

    I think improvement wise it would be nice to see the company use more eco friendly packaging! Other then that i have zero complaints!

  • I think it’s a good deodorant for what it is. The scent is good and it glides in easily, doesn’t try out too quickly which is a problem that I’ve had with other natural deodorants. I would wear this on a hot day or if I was planning to work out/really sweat. Good for brisk weather or if Im wearing a shirt I don’t want to go get stained/ sweat marks on.

  • I didn't enjoy the texture of the product when it went on my armpits. It was quite grainy. In terms of lasting odor prevention, I did find myself smelling a bit ripe midway through the day. This would mean that I would have to reapply often. For an expensive product, having to reapply multiple times a day is a hassle and not cost-effective.

    The formula!

  • I love that the brand is all about natural products and clean ingredients however didn’t feel like this deodorant helped me control odor.

    Feedback

    Needs more effectiveness to control/get rid of odor

  • I enjoy the scents and the product itself has pretty good staying power.

    Feedback

    It is pricey at $12.

  • During my use of this product for a year and a half, it worked quite well. Over the course of that timeframe I used the nonscented, charcoal, and cucumber & mint. Luckily I bought the three pack. The packaging is definitely fun. My chemical ph changes depending on the season, so I found the charcoal to worked best for me during the summer.

    Feedback

    I started off with the cucumber & mint, and liked the event, but because of my ph chemical balance stopped working almost immediately ~5 weeks . It gets into everything I wear, which I guess is fortunate in a way, but the cucumber & mint left me smelling funky by midday. I had to take wipes with me and reapply.

  • My favorite deodorant. The scents are great. It doesn't irritate my skin & it keeps me smelling great all day. The only deoterant I ever reach for.

    Feedback

    Sometimes I can't find the vanilla & sandalwood scent which is one of my favorites. Thanks it!

  • Applies easily after the first swipe warms up the product. No stinging and no stinking! I don't find the scent overpowering and no marks on my clothing either.

    Feedback

    Nothing, everything is great

  • I love the quality (only natural deodorant I've used that works) and the scents are all amazing.

    Feedback

    It's a bit spendy

  • It was a good product. Doesn’t have a strong scent but it’s strong enough to not smell bad.

    Feedback

    Only issue is has a lot of white residue and it stay in dark clothing. And to push up the bar it’s a bit hard to roll it up.

  • They all have a weird smell and they wouldn’t hold me through out my whole day. They are for sure not “natural” or for sensitive skin.

    Feedback

    The smell, the formula and marketing levels

  • The scents were beautiful but they didn’t mask any scent for me. There was a noticeable odor smell throughout the day.

    Feedback

    More odor protection

  • I used to have severe eczema and red/inflamed irritation in my armpits. No medicine any doctors gave me helped, and sweating or putting deodorant on burned and increased the pain tenfold. I switched to Native deodorant and not even a day later my rash that I had been struggling with for months was completely gone. I’ve been using this deodorant for almost a year and it has completely prevented my rash from appearing since. It still works really well to cover B.O. and it doesn’t feel sticky! LOVE LOVE LOVE I so recommend!!

    Feedback

    It’s a lil expensive but so worth it

  • Great deodorant that is: - Aluminum Free - Phthalate Free - Talc Free Formula is made with naturally derived ingredients including: - Coconut Oil - Shea Butter - Baking Soda - Magnesium Hydroxide I use the Coconut & Vanilla and it's wonderful. Please throw your other deodorants in the trash if they have Aluminum, Phthalate or Talc...could cause dementia and other health related problems.

  • It was really nice because it was working even after I had sport and during all day.

    Feedback

    Maybe de softness when you apply it should be better but in overall it’s really good.

  • Overall I like the concept and the Vanilla Coconut scent is by far the best. I like how they’ve been able to target all the shops I would normally buy my deodorants. The Coconut Vanilla was the one that kept me from not smelling during humid Texas summers!

    Feedback

    The other scents have not been able to minimize my B.O. the one that has been able to was the coconut vanilla.

  • I love native deodorant its perfect on the go when I know I need something effective and simple without harsh smells. I really appreciate the affordability of the company. I can't speak to their skincare however, the body wash and deodorant are an easy find and great product for a clean brand.

    Feedback

    Although I love the scents, I wish they could formulate without artificial fragrance and transition to essential oil fragrances.

  • I wanted to like this, I loved the scent. But I have to say it made me break out in a rash. I actually tried two different scents and it happened both times.

    Feedback

    It is definitely not hypoallergenic.
