Native reviews and discussion

67% of reviewers would recommend to a friend

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.

  • the only natural deodorant that works and doesn't leave me with a rash! have tried several scents and love them all. switching it up keeps things fresh ... pun-intended

  • If you suffer from sweating a lot or having odor quickly, this might not be the option for you. It definitely didn’t hold up for me.

  • Great aluminium free natural deodorant. Great scents available that keep your armpits fresh all day long.

    The product could be more absorbent into the skin as there is often residue left

  • I think the product is really good o would buy again multiple times! Really recommend it !

  • Aw, man. I wanted to love this so badly! The scents are amazing! My body oder though? This doesn't even cover up a little bit of the smell. Garage city in like 70° weather 😭

  • Great product and I love their mission to create cleaner and safer beauty and health products for our body.

  • I have used the deodorant and body wash. All of their scents smell great! Both products I've tried have a nice feel on the skin. I always try to find products with natural ingredients and Native absolutely does that.

    After a month, the body wash started making me break out in a few areas on my body. The deodorant did not keep my armpits from being stinky. Also, they list the ingredient "fragrance" which is vague and does not define whether its natural, from essential oils, or artificial which is concerning if you have sensitive skin or care about natural ingredients.

  • Best natural deodorant I've found thus far. Love all their scents too. It doesnt go on as smooth as a I'd like, but its one of the more long lasting natural deodorants. And they sell at Target.

  • This is my all time favorite deodorant! I’ve tried many different brands and decided to give Native a try and I will never look back! It lasts all day, prevents sweat, and the ingredients are so natural.

  • I absolutely love all native products. From their body wash to their deodorants. The lavender scent is my go to. I haven’t tried any other brand after I discovered native. They also have really good gift options with gift sets.

  • I like the smells and packaging of this product but the deodorant does NOT de-odorize. The body wash is nice, and I do recommend those.

  • The smell is great and it's long-lasting. However, if you're not comfortable with still having wet armpits (like me), this isn't for you.

    I think it's a great product but I am not the right person for it.

  • This is a perfectly good natural deodorant and I appreciate how accessible it is (you can get it at most big box stores). This was actually my first successful foray into natural deodorant! It works without having to constantly reapply and smells nice.

    It can streak, so you’ll have to rub it in. There’s also left over product at the very end that you can’t quite access.

  • Using Native throughout my pregnancy. Very pleased!

  • Love native! The scents are so amazing and part of loving the product is finding scents that work for you!

    Feedback

    Sometimes I react to scents which isn’t fun. Could be a little stronger

  • The products smell nice, but the texture/consistency is not my favorite.

  • the only natural deodorant that has actually worked for me.

  • I love the scents that they offer and feel that they are working toward a more eco friendly packaging which is amazing!

    Feedback

    Unfortunately, my skin always breaks out from their formulation, regardless of the sensitive skin formula. The product seems to clog my pores and breaks me out, which is the last thing I want under my arms.

  • High quality deodorant that comes in a variety of unique scents that smell great.

    Feedback

    Dries up pretty easily

  • I like how none of their deodorants have aluminum in them and how they are all natural. Smells clean too

    Feedback

    I dont like how it only lasts about an hour and then my armpits start smelling and I also don’t like the rough texture when putting it on.
