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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Feedback

    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.

    Feedback

    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.

    Feedback

    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.

    Feedback

    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
